9. Channel Solo button - Mute all channels that do not have this solo button engaged in this mixer. Command-click to
solo all channels.

performer whose input appears on the channel. This label is not transmitted to the audio software (DAW).
Monitor/Output Section
The Monitor/Output Section is where you select what you hear in the outputs, and control the volume of the various outputs.
The Output Level Meters are also a useful diagnostic tool to see if signal should be present at the various outputs.
1. Output Level Meters - Displayed the output level. Is not affected by the output level
control.
2. Output Level Control - Set the listening level of the Main and Headphone outputs.
3. Output Source Selector - Selects the sound source for each output. The options
are:
● Playback - Sends a playback channel stereo signal directly to this output,
bypassing all mixers.
● Mix or FX Send - Send the stereo signal from this mixer’s Master to this
output
4. Output Mute button - Mutes the output
5. Output Dim button - Reduces the output listening level by -15dB
6. Sum-To-Mono button - Collapse left and right signals to mono at the output. This
combined signal is sent through both Left and Right Outputs and is useful for
verifying the mono-compatibility of a stereo mix.
