Chapter 9: Groups 73
Routing Signals to a Stereo Group Bus
Configuration
When configured as stereo busses, the eight Groups can be fed
as 8 true stereo busses or (in Expert mode only) as 8 dual mono
busses.
Stereo Busses
To use stereo Group busses:
1 Make sure the Group busses are configured as stereo busses.
See “Configuring Aux, Group, and Variable Group Busses” on
page 62.
2 When routing channels to any of the Group busses, make
sure the Stereo Pan switch is lit yellow.
Dual Mono Busses
Dual mono busses may only be used in Expert Mode. See
“Simple and Expert Operational Modes” on page 74.
Adjusting Group Bus Output Controls
Group Bus Output Levels
See “Adjusting Output Controls” on page 66.
Group Bus Output Pan
Group bus output pan is controlled from the Assignable Out-
put Encoders. The pan controls adjust pan (when in mono
Groups configuration) or stereo balance and width (when in
stereo Groups configuration) of the Group output to the Main
busses only. The Group outputs in the Patchbay are distinct
left and right channels.
To control mono Group output pan:
1 Press the Group Pan switch in the Output Encoder assign-
ment section to assign control of Group pan to the Assignable
Output Encoders.
2 Turn a rotary encoder to adjust the pan for the correspond-
ing mono Group.
To control stereo Group output balance and width:
1 Press the Group Pan switch in the Output Encoder assign-
ment section to assign Group balance control to the Assign-
able Output Encoders. The Output Encoder scribble strips
show “GR BAL.”
2 Turn a rotary encoder to adjust the balance for the corre-
sponding stereo Group.
3 Press the Group Pan switch in the Output Encoder assign-
ment section a second time to assign Group width control to
the Assignable Output Encoders. The Output Encoder displays
show “GR WID.”
4 Turn a rotary encoder to adjust the width for the corre-
sponding stereo Group.
Group Bus Output Polarity (Phase) Invert
See “Output Polarity (Phase) Invert” on page 66.
Group Bus Output Solo
See “Output Solo” on page 66.
Group Bus Output Mute
See “Output Mute” on page 67.
Routing Group Bus Outputs to the
Main Busses
See “Routing Group Outputs to the Main Busses” on page 63.
Routing Group Busses to Direct
Outputs
Group busses have Direct Output capability. For more infor-
mation, see “Direct Outputs” on page 68.
Using Inserts on Group Bus Outputs
You can insert D-Show software plug-ins or hardware inserts
on Group bus outputs. For more information, see “Using In-
serts on Output Busses” on page 64.
Inserting the Built-In Graphic EQ on
Group Bus Outputs
A built-in 31-band Graphic EQ can be inserted on Group bus
outputs. For more information, see “Inserting the Built-In
Graphic EQ on Output Busses” on page 65.
When working with stereo Groups in Simple Mode, the
Stereo Pan switch is always lit to indicate all Groups
operate in true stereo.
