ONYX 80 SERIES Master Aux Send Section 37. AUX 1 -8 MASTERS The AUX MASTERS provide overall control over the AUX SEND levels, just before they are delivered to the AUX SEND outputs [72]. These knobs go from off (∞) to +15 dB when turned all the way up. This is usually the knob you turn up when the lead singer glares at you, points at his stage monitor, and sticks his thumb up in the air. (It would follow that if the singer stuck his thumb down, you'd turn the knob down, but that never happens.) AUX 1 MUTE AUX 2 MUTE OO +15 GAIN AFL STEREO OO +15 GAIN AFL GROUP/AUX FLIP GROUP/AUX FLIP 38. MUTE Press this switch to mute the Aux Send output. When the MUTE switch is pushed in on an Aux Send, you can still solo the Aux Send (see AFL Solo Switch next). Remember, PFL solo mode always overides AFL solo mode. If you engage a PFL solo switch on a mono or stereo channel, the AFL solo is disconnected from the headphones and monitor outputs and replaced with the PFL signal. The Rude Solo LEDS below the SOLO meters indicate which solo mode is active. Group Section There are eight group masters (or submasters, if you prefer) that feed the eight group sends [74]. 40. PAN Note: The Group PAN control works only when the MAIN MIX switch is engaged (see next). PAN adjusts the amount of signal sent to the left versus the right outputs. With the PAN knob hard left, the signal feeds the MAIN LEFT output, and with the knob hard right, the signal feeds the MAIN RIGHT output. 41.

AFL Solo Switch The AFL switch allows you to hear the Aux Send signal through your headphones or monitor outputs. This comes after the Aux Send GAIN control, so you can hear the relative signal level on each Aux Send. When you engage the AFL switch on two consecutive odd/even Aux Sends (i.e., 1 and 2, 3 and 4, etc.), the soloed signal appears in stereo in the headphones and monitor outputs. This is useful when you are using a pair of Aux Sends in stereo to feed an in-ear monitoring system. Push in this switch to send the Group signal to the left and right MAIN OUTS. When the PAN control is centered, the signal is sent equally to the left and right outputs. The signal sent to the MAIN OUTS is after the Group Insert, Fader, and MUTE switch. 42. MUTE Switch Press this switch to mute the Group output. When the MUTE switch is pushed in on a Group, you can still solo the Group signal (see AFL Solo Switch [39] ahead). 43. GROUP Fader This fader controls the Group's signal level, from off to unity gain at the "U" marking, on up to 10 dB of additional gain. 44. Signal Level LEDs These LEDs indicate the Group's signal level after the Fader and MUTE switch. So if the MUTE switch is pushed in or the Faders are down, the Signal Level LEDs won't light. 16 ONYX 80 SERIES
