2.16 DCA Set and Clear Button
Digital controlled ampliers (DCA1-6) are used to combine multiple inputs, aux, or
FX outputs into one mix group for unied control of that group. DCA groups allow
the relative fader position of each member to be preserved while adjusting their
overall combined level as a group. It also allows the group to be instantly muted. This
is typically used for grouping vocals, drums, choir or orchestral sections, etc. DCA
groups must rst be dened before using EZ-Mode (sec 6.4).
To dene a DCA group, rst press the DCA Set button so that it ashes, then select
one of the six DCA buttons on the mixer or touchscreen, then tap individual channels
on the mixer screen to select them for that DCA group. Selected channels turn purple
on the screen. When nished, press the DCA Set button once again to save settings.
Whenever a DCA button is then selected and lit, the fader will control all channels
assigned to that DCA. Channels can be assigned to more than one DCA groups.
To clear a DCA group, rst select the DCA, then press the DCA set button so it ashes,
then press the DCA clear button, conrm the action by tapping "Yes" on the touchscreen
prompt, then nally press DCA set once more.
2.17 DCA1-6 Buttons
These six buttons are used to select a pre-dened DCA group for fader, mute, or solo
control. If the DCA group is not yet dened, a touchscreen message prompts for a
response before proceeding further.
2.18 Motorized Fader
This is the primary level control for all inputs, main L/R and aux1-8 outputs, effects master, and DCA control. Press the <Select>
button on any input, output, or DCA, and the motorized fader will control its level. The fader works together with other level
controls used for the same selected signal. Motorized fader speed can be adjusted in the system screen (sec. 5.2).
2.19 Solo Button
Use the solo button for listening to one or more isolated signals in the headphones.
Select an input, output, FX, or DCA group, then press the solo button to include
that signal in the solo bus. The default solo setting is post-fader, meaning the
solo signal level depends on the solo channel's fader position.
Press the solo clear button to clear all selected solo channels. With no channels
selected for solo, the headphone output defaults to the main L/R output, post
fader. Solo status can also be viewed and set from the touchscreen display.
The solo feature is in stereo, so that any stereo linked channels or FX are heard
in stereo.
2.20 PFL Button
PFL is used to monitor selected solo channels at their pre-fader level, meaning
the selected solo channel(s) will still be heard even if its fader is turned down.
2.21 Clear Button
Press this button to clear all solo selections and return the headphone output
to main L/R.
2.22 Mute Button
The mute button is used to silence the selected input, output, aux, FX, or DCA
group. Mute status can also be seen or controlled using the touchscreen display.
