us Routing
To route channels to the Record and Mix busses, press the REC and/or MIX switch to the right of the
c
hannel pan pot. For in-line signals, the REC and MIX switches operate on the channel path assigned to
the main fader. Press on the V-pot below the REC and MIX switches to switch the main fader and V-
p
ot. The REC and MIX switches now control the routing of the secondary path.
U
se the eight numbered switches immediately underneath the channel meters (shown above right) to
route to the track busses. By default, signals are sent post-fader. To source the send pre-fader or post pan-
control, press the PRE or PAN switches beneath the track bus selection switches. Centre section track
bus controls are located in the top right-hand corner of the console.
Panning, Width and Balance
The pan pot towards the bottom of the channel strip is used to adjust the stereo position of signals being
sent to the Record and Mix busses, as well as to the Track busses when they are functioning in stereo.
For stereo signals, the pan pot functions as a width controller. Stereo signal balance is controlled using the
V-pot just above the channel’s digital display.
In In-line Mix mode, the main channel pan pot operates on the primary channel path; in ln-line Track mode
it operates on the monitor path. By default, the CUE ST pan pot controls pan for the other channel path
whenever it is routed to a stereo bus (as indicated by the CUE LED to the left of the CUE ST pan pot
being unlit) and the Cue pan follows the main channel pan. Deselect CUE F-CH (Cue Follows CHannel
pan) in the Channel Setup screen (See Page 2b-8) to switch the CUE ST pan pot from the channel path
to the Cue send.
Channel Level, Cut and Solo
The channel fader controls the channel send to the Rec and Mix busses, as well as any other sends which
are operating post-fader.
For In-line Track mode, the main fader controls the secondary channel path (monitor path), and the V-pot
controls the primary channel path. In In-line Mix mode the channel fader controls the primary path and
the V-pot the secondary path. Pressing the V-Pot will swap the paths assigned to fader and V-Pot.
Use the CUT and SOLO switches below the digital display to mute or solo the signal assigned to the
fader.
Note the SEL switch is used for assigning the channel to certain centre section configuration procedures,
including the channel mode set-up in the TFT screen.
