7.0 Auxiliary Masters
“The Box” is equipped with four (4) auxiliary buses arranged as two mono buses (1 and 2)
and one stereo bus (3/4). Accordingly, the console is fitted with matching aux masters in the
same configuration. The aux system provides effects sends while mixing, additional
headphone feeds while recording, and extra routable sends for other applications.
The auxiliary signal flow is as follows:
Channel sends ⇒ aux bus ⇒ aux master ⇒ output
7.1 Auxiliary Master Controls
* Engaging an aux master AFL SOLO switch will activate the current PFL or AFL solo
function. The solo function is determined by the position of the AFL switch in the solo
master section. Engaging an aux master AFL SOLO while in solo-in-place (SIP) mode
will not active the SIP solo function.
The aux masters provide +6dB of gain at the fully-clockwise position. For most
applications the masters should be initially set to unity gain (approximately 2 o’clock).
From here, the masters can be used to trim the aux outputs upward or downward as
needed.
