SOLO / AFL / PFL
The console’s default solo mode is a destructive solo-in-place — soloing a channel cuts all other channels. The
alternative solo modes — AFL, PFL and Solo-in-front are selected via the soft key display on the monitor control
panel. Press the AFL/PFL button above the display to produce the following options:
AFL Pressing a channel SOLO button routes the post channel pan signal, via the stereo AFL bus and the
AFL level control, to the currently selected monitor speakers.
PFL Pressing a channel SOLO button routes a mono pre -fade signal, via the PFL bus and the PFL level
control, to the left and right Main monitor speakers. Optionally, PFL signals may be fed to the Mini
loudspeakers — see PFM in Monitor Options.
SIF (Solo-In-Front) Pressing a channel SOLO button routes a mix of the AFL signal and the selected left
and right monitor sources to the monitor outputs. The SIF level control (select the SIF button to the
right of the main monitor pot and use the pot to set the level)) adjusts the balance between AFL
signal and desk output.
ISO To solo isolate a number of channels, select ISO, press the SOLO buttons on all channels to be
isolated, then deselect ISO. The SOLO switches on isolated channels will flash.
Solo-isolated channels can be set to automatically solo in AFL mode via the Isolated channels AFL
on solo: option in the SSL / Misc / Setup menu.
ALT Makes channel SOLO buttons intercancel with each other, so that soloing one channel will clear any
other solo selections.
MOM This option makes all the channel SOLO buttons momentary.
Note that ALT and MOM do not affect the operation of centre section AFL and SOLO functions
Solo, AFL and PFL signals are all metered on the centre section SOLO meter. See Centre Section Metering
for more information.
When auditioning signals which are low in the mix, it is possible to boost the solo bus signal level by up to 10dB via
the Solo Gain boost: option in the SSL / Misc / Setup menu.
Note that this boost is applied at the final output stage of the signal and is not reflected in the Solo
meters. If insufficient headroom is available, less gain will be applied.
