5. AUXILIARY
Your IMX-800 SERIES has 8 auxiliary sends. These are
commonly used for effects, stage monitors and any additional
sends, e.g. camera sound. Each control varies the amount of
signal sent to the related Auxiliary bus from
to +6dB.
Ordinarily, auxiliaries are fed post fader, meaning that the
channel’s fader level will affect the level sent to the auxiliary.
PRE switches in the auxiliary section change the signal source
to pre fader. These are grouped to allow maximum flexibility.
6. BLEND
Adjusts level balance between MIX L/R buses and MIX C bus.
This does not affect GROUP buses. At the L/R (fully anti-
clockwise) position, the stereo image is made up using only
the L and R buses. By turning BLEND control clockwise, the C
bus is introduced. At the C (fully clockwise) position, signals
panned centrally will only appear on C output.
This is shown in the diagram below.
7. PAN
Controls the signal’s position, or balance, in the stereo image. This affects both main MIX outputs as well as
any groups to which the channel is routed. For example, with the balance control set to hard left, only the left
signal will be sent to odd numbered buses.
Similarly, with the balance control set to hard right only the right signal will be sent to even numbered buses.
If, for example, you are panning from hard left to center, you will notice a 3dB drop in the left channel as you
do so. This “panning law” ensures that signals sound equally loud at all pan positions.
