* This section of the input channel is used to route the signals

appearing at the channels to the respective outputs of the console. The "Pan"

control is used as an odd/even control to route signals in paires to the outputs. For

example, if the (1-2) assignment switch is depressed and the "Pan" control is

panned fully to the left, the channel signal will appear only at output #1. If the

"Pan" control is panned tatally right the channel signal will appear only at

output #2 of the console. Plus, any variation of level between output channels #1

and #2 may be achieved by panning between these outputs. The channel

assignment switches and the pan control will allow you to route any channel to

any output of the console as well as directly to the 2-Track Master outputs (for

stereo mixdown). The Pan control is termed an "odd/even" control since panning

fully to the left will allow assignment of all the odd numbered output channels,

and panning fully to the right will yield all the even numbered output channels.

6) Channel Mute Switch

* The channel mute switch allows the operator to totally remove the

channel from the system including eliminating signals to the Cue and Effects, and

Direct Output sends. But, more often it is used to audition individual channels or

groups of channels including their respective effects levels (exactly as they

appear in the mix). It allows the operator to mix groups of channels and preview

them exactly as they appear in the mix by eliminating all channels the operator

does not want to hear. This allows the operator to listen to the relative stereo

positioning of different channels cot muted, amounts of reverb, delay or

additional effects, and add additional channels (by releasing their "mute"

switches) to the mix one at a time. It is a very useful tool for fine tuning and

auditioning prior to a performance or a mix. A green LED will light just above the

Mute switch when it is selected, indicating that the channel is muted.

* The channel solo switch allows you to audition each channel in the

headphones or control room without affecting the main mix. What this means is

that by depressing this switch you will be able hear only that particular channel

in the control room monitors or headphones even though you may be using

several inputs on your console. This is an extremely useful feature allowing you

to fine tune your mix during a performance. By being able to listen to a particular

channel inpervious to the rest of the channels you are able to focus your

attection specifically to the details of that channel. You may depress one or more

solo switches in order to hear relative levels of different channels as well. This

allows you to listen to how well different channels are blending and make

adjustments to their relative levels during a mix. Regardless of what is selected at

the control room section of the console, when any solo switch is depressed only

the "soloed" signal will be heard in the control room monitors. Also, the solo

switch has a separate "Solo Level" control located on the System Master Strip of

the console. This will allow you to adjust the level of the "soloed" signal in the
