Chapter 15: Muting and Mute Groups
Muting
Channels can be muted in three ways: explicitly (lit solid),
with the channel mute switch; implicitly (flashing), as a result
of another channel being soloed, and as a member of a Mute
Group or VCA (flashing).
Mute switches always behave in additive (latched) fashion.
Channels can be muted in any sequence, and they will remain
muted until they are unmuted.
Muting Input Channels and FX Returns
Channel mute is pre-fader on Input Channels and FX Returns.
To control the mute status of an Input Channel or FX Return:
■ Press the Mute switch on the channel to toggle its mute sta-
tus. The Mute switch lights solid to indicate the channel is ex-
plicitly muted.
Muting Output Busses
Mute operation is post-fader on all types of Output busses.
To control the mute status of an output bus:
1 Press one of the following switches in the Output assign-
ment section to assign control of the corresponding busses:
• Aux 1–8
• Aux 9–16
• Personal Qs
• Matrixes
• Groups
2 Press a Mute switch in the assigned section to toggle the
mute status of the corresponding output bus.
Muting VCAs
When you mute a VCA, its member channels are muted. The
member channel Mute switches flash to indicate they are
muted as part of a VCA.
To mute the members of a VCA:
■ Press the Mute switch on the VCA channel whose members
you want to mute so that the Mute switch is lit.
Muting the Main Busses
The mute status of the Main busses is controlled from the
Mute switch above the Mains Fader.
To control the mute status of the Main busses:
■ Press the Mute switch above the Mains fader.
Only the linked Mains busses are muted. The Mains Mute
switch flashes to indicate not all Mains are muted. For infor-
mation on linking Mains, see “Linking Mains” on page 75.
Flashing Mute Indication
A flashing Mute switch indicates the channel is implicitly
muted as a result of a Solo or Mute Group activation.
Solo In Solo In Place mode, when a channel is soloed, all other
channels that are not soloed or solo safe are implicitly muted.
Mute Group Members of a mute group are implicitly muted
and flash when the mute group is active.
