Monitor Control Section
Master Solo Select
With complex, large-scale setups, the basic method of
using individual [CUE] switches to check the sends to
the main house speakers, sub-speakers, on-stage
monitors, recording equipment and other gear can be
confusing and tedious. The Master Solo function comes
in handy in this type of situation.
The four SOLO SELECT switches located below the
[SOLO MODE] switch can only be used while the solo
mode is active. These switches determine which section
will be muted when a solo channel is engaged. For
example, if the SOLO SELECT [STEREO AUX],
[GROUP/AUX], and [ST. MONO (C)] switches are all
engaged. No major change is immediately apparent, but
when the stereo aux 1 master [CUE] switch is engaged
the sub L & R speakers will automatically be soloed. In
the same way, if the stereo master [CUE] switch is
engaged the main L & R speakers will be soloed.
If the stereo master [CUE] switch is also engaged the
main L & R speakers will also be soloed. All this time
the channel 1 signal is being sent to the recording gear
via stereo aux 1. The signal does not appear at the on-
stage monitors, however, because group/aux 1 is muted
(an internal switch allows this setting to be changed so
that the on-stage monitors do receive the channel 1
signal).
With this setup it is possible to solo-monitor the stereo or
stereo aux 1 master outputs by simply operating a single
[CUE] switch, making comparison of the main and sub
L & R speakers a simple operation. The SOLO SELECT
switches are idea for this type of operation, letting you
specify which groups of outputs are to be muted when a
solo channel is engaged.
