The functions are (from top to bottom):
MONITOR LEVEL Sets the level of the signal appearing at the MAIN or NEARFIELD monitor outputs and
also the headphone outputs.
!!! SOLO !!! This LED illuminates whenever a channel is solo’d.
Although the channel’s ON key flashes when it is solo’d making it perfectly obvious
which channel is being solo’d, it is possible that a different FADER BANK may be
selected and so the solo’d channel may not be visible (for example, Input 5 may be
solo’d but the current FADER BANK might be, say, Tracks 1-12). As a result, it may not
be clear that a channel is solo’d. This ‘master’ SOLO LED helps overcome this by
showing that a channel somewhere is solo’d.
2-TRACK This switches the 2-TRACK input into the main monitor output, overriding the main
L/R mix. Normally, this will be used after a mixdown to check the master recorder’s
output.
However, because the 2-TRACK switch exists only on the monitor output, it can actu
ally be used during mixdown so that you can ‘confidence monitor’ the output of your
master recorder on the control room speakers by hearing the output of your mastering
machine as you mixdown.
