Many VENUE configurations utilize more physical inputs
than input faders. To navigate to channels beyond the num-
ber of physical faders, the system provides channel banking
controls.
The Bank switches navigate the display of input channels on
the console.
• Input channel banks are accessed using the Bank A, B, C,
and D switches, located to the left of the input faders.
• FX Returns are accessed using the FX Returns 1–8 and
9–16 switches, located between input faders 1–8 and
9–16.
• Input Channels and FX Returns can be put in Bank Safe
mode, leaving them accessible regardless of the currently
selected bank.
