Mixing Configurations
When mixing in In-line mode, the secondary channel path can be employed either as an additional send from the channel,
a
s the right input of a stereo signal, or as an independent additional input path, allowing up to 48 signals to be mixed on the
console. Because channels are independently configurable, additional inputs might be assigned to channels not requiring
e
xtra sends, allowing those signals that do require the extra send to take advantage of both channel paths.

Additional Send Mixing
In the Additional Send configuration (In-line Mix mode with the in-channel RETURN switch unselected), the second
channel path can be sourced pre- or post-fader, and each of the sends can be switched between them. This allows for a high
level of flexibility of send leveling and automation. The channel’s signal processing is applied to both channel paths. The V-
pot controls the additional send level and the fader the main channel contribution to the Mix and/or Record busses.
