Monitor Control Section Basic Operation The solo mode can be activated by holding the [SOLO MODE] switch on the meter bridge for more than two seconds - the [SOLO MODE] switch will flash. For reasons why you might not be able to switch to the solo mode, see page 66.

NOTE If you engage the solo mode during cue monitoring, all [CUE] switches will be disengaged. No change in the output signal will occur when the solo mode is first engaged (you won't suddenly have only one channel blasting from your house speakers). Once the solo mode has been engaged the [CUE] switches are used to select the channel or channels to be soloed via the master or matrix outs. The channel [ON] switches of all other channels will flash and their output will be muted. Let's take a look at what happens if solo monitoring is engaged when channel 1 is feeding stereo aux 1 (L & R), group/aux 1, and the stereo and mono masters. Additionally stereo aux 1 is routed to stereo matrix 1 and group/aux 1 is routed to matrix 1.

The [LAST CUE] switch can be used to switch between the LAST CUE and MIX CUE modes. Also, the cue stack function will operate as described on page 43. When the solo mode is active and the channel 1 [CUE] switch is engaged, only the channel 1 signal will appear at all master and matrix outputs to which it is routed (the stereo aux 1 and group/aux 1 master [TO MATRIX] switches must be engaged). 45
