Auxiliary Sends
Matrix has six aux sends: one stereo cue and four mono effects (FX) sends.
Stereo Cue Send
The send to the stereo cue bus has a gain trim and pan pot, both of which have Total
Recall LEDs. Pressing the gain pot switches the send on and off. The
ON LED below the
pot will light to indicate that it is on. The pan pot is indented in the middle, where the
signal is feeding both the left and right busses equally.
The stereo cue bus can be fed from four places: line-in pre-input-selection, pre-fader (post-insert), post-fader

The source is indicated by the LEDs between the pan and gain pots, and by the colour of the
SRC button:

32-Track Mixdown
When Matrix is being used for mixdown, and the channel is therefore being fed from the DAW return
the main channel input (‘LINE IN’) can be used to create an extra input channel, allowing for 32-track
mixdowns on one Matrix. This is done by selecting
INPUT as the source of the stereo cue, as described
above, and then pressing
TO MIX within the CUE ST area of the desk’s centre section. FX sends can
then be fed from the
CUE bus, enabling external processing to be assigned to the INPUT signal rather
than DAW return signal, as described below.
