Sending a signal from an input channel to a MIX/ MATRIX bus The MIX buses are used mainly for the purpose of sending signals to foldback speakers on stage, or to external effect processors. The MATRIX buses are used to produce a mix that is independent of the STEREO bus or MIX buses, and is typically sent to a master recorder or to a backstage monitoring system. You can send a signal from an input channel to a MIX/MATRIX bus in the following ways. Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section With this method, you use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send levels to the MIX/ MATRIX buses. When using this method, signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/ MATRIX buses can be adjusted collectively. Using the faders (SENDS ON FADER mode) With this method, you switch the QL series unit to SENDS ON FADER mode, and use the faders on the top panel to adjust the level of signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using this method, signals sent from all input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus can be adjusted simultaneously. Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section This section explains how to use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send levels of signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/MATRIX buses. STEP 1. Press the Bank Select keys in the Fader Bank section and the [SEL] keys on the top panel to select the input channel from which you want to send the signal to the MIX/MATRIX buses. 2. Turn on the ON button in the SEND field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen. 3. Use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send levels to the MIX/MATRIX buses. Input channels MIX buses can be either a FIXED type that features a fixed send level, or a VARI type that features a variable send level. The MATRIX buses are all VARI type. You can switch between FIXED and VARI types for each two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX buses. To do so, press the SETUP button and then the BUS SETUP button to open the BUS SETUP window. If the MIX bus is a FIXED type A gray circle is displayed instead of the TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob, and you cannot adjust the send level. For a VARI type MIX bus or a MATRIX bus Use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send level. SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen 34 Reference Manual
