Phase: If the selected source is stereo, rotat-
ing this control lets the board op compensate for
out-of-phase audio sources. Normal is used for

level of the audio you’ll be sending to any or all
of the four Aux Send buses.
Pre/Post Fader: Pushing any of the four Send
SoftKnobs toggles the activity state of that par-
ticular Send. The state is indicated in the display
above.
On Pre sends the source assigned to the fader
to the selected Aux Send bus prior to having
its gain adjusted by the fader (fixed level).
On Post sends the source assigned to the fad-
er to the selected Aux Send bus after having
its gain adjusted by the fader (variable level).
Off sends no audio to the Aux Send bus.
Pressing Aux Sends again returns to the Chan-
nel Options screen.
Feed To Source Key
If the assigned source (i.e., a codec or phone hybrid)
has an associated backfeed or mix-minus, pressing this
key allows the board op to change the audio supplied
through the backfeed. This selection is normally pre-set
when a Source Profile is constructed (see Chapter Two,
“Configuring Inputs,” for information on Source Profiles),
but can be modified on-the-fly.
