REMIX
This position sends the signal to the stereo buss.
Normally, REMIX is used in most recording situa¬
tions, including recording ol input signals connected
to channels 5 — 8, ping-pong recording and
mixdown.
MONMIX
This position sends the signal to the monitor buss
(the monitor out and headphone jacks). Since this
switch comes before the MONITOR select switch in
the signal path, the MONITOR select switch must
be set to MON MIX + LI N E for the signal to be heard.

channels (when MONMIX is selected with the IN¬
PUT B select switch ©), and 2} the signal of the
stereo buss.
