pre-fader and routed to the mono PFL bus.
SOLO
Pressing button once deactivates the mono PFL bus and replaces it with a separate stereo SOLO bus.
SOLO is short for Solo-In-Place, and is the preferred method for auditioning an isolated signal, or group of
signals. Whenever a SOLO button is pressed, all unselected channels are muted in the monitors. Stereo
panning is maintained. The SOLO bus is derived from the output of the channel Pans, Aux Sends and stereo
Line inputs. The SOLO bus is always post-fader.
2.4.5 Mix-B

The LEVEL control allows you to adjust the overall volume of the Mix-B bus, and the button TO MAIN MIX
routes the Mix-B bus to the Main Mix bus. Thus, you can configure your MX3242X as a 32-channel
console. As the Mix-B input channels are specifically designed for line-level signals, they are ideally suited for
returning the signals from effects and MIDI devices. Naturally, the Mix-B bus also has a SOLO function, which
can be activated with button . In this case, the buttons associated LED lights up.
2.4.6 Monitor section
Fig. 2.15: Monitor section
The buttons 2-TRACK and MIX-B determine which signal is sent to the MON OUTputs , where
you can connect active or passive speakers (plus power amp). If neither one of the buttons is pressed, the
outputs provide the Main Mix signal. The 2-TRACK button allows you to monitor the signals from a 2-Track
master recorder (e.g. DAT). When you connect its input to a hi-fi amplifier featuring a source selector,
you can conveniently monitor other sources, too (e.g. cassette recorder, CD player, etc.).
We recommend that you use more than just one single pair of speakers! Rather, you should connect at least
half a dozen of different (matrix-networked) speaker pairs from ghetto blasters, car and club systems to
broken 5-cm portable-radio speakers mounted in a cardboard carton!
Use the LEVEL control to set the volume of the monitors.
The MONO button allows you to check that stereo signals are mono-compatible.
+ All buttons are effective on the monitor output only. They will not affect the Main Mix signal
delivered by the Main outputs.
