CREATING AUXILIARY MIXES
There are four methods of creating auxiliary mixes from the input channels to the (up to 24) aux buses.
Method 1: Channel Mode. Select an input channel and adjust its send levels to the aux buses as
required (the user sets up the mix from an input bay).
Proceed as follows:
Press the 1-12 or 13-14 Channel Mode button on the input bay. The 12 centre encoders on the
input bay are now acting as sends to Auxes 1-12 or 13-24.
Select the input channel by selecting the appropriate INPUT FADER SELECT button A-D and then
the SEL button of the required channel.
Pressing the encoder toggles the send on and off: the green ‘ON’ lamp below the encoder shows
the status. To make the send pre-fade, press the AUX PRE button in the Channel Mode section:
pressing the send encoders will now toggle the sends between pre and post fade. The ‘PRE’ lamp
to the top right of the encoder displays the status.
Method 2: Global Mode. Select an output bus and adjust the feeds to it from a bank of input channels
(the user sets up the mix from an input bay).
Select the output bus required by pressing the BUS 1-8, BUS 9-16 or BUS 17-24 button on
the Global Mode section of the input bay, then use the SCROLL Up or Down button to get to the
required bus. The bus name is shown it the top of every input channel display window in the bay.
Each input channel encoder is now a send from its input channel to the chosen output bus.
ON/OFF and PRE/POST switching is as described above for method 1.
Method 3: Select an input channel and adjust its send levels to the aux buses as required.
Proceed as follows:
Press the BUS SENDS button in the BOTH ROWS set on the Output section. The Output section
encoders are now level controls which route the signal from a selected input channel to the Aux
buses. Note that if any of the Auxes are congured as stereo pairs, the two encoders associated
with the pair will be a level control and a pan control. The ON/OFF function is implemented by
pressing the encoder. The ON legend built in to the encoder ring is used as the ON/OFF indicator.
Select the input channel by selecting the appropriate INPUT FADER SELECT button A-D and then
the SEL button of the required channel.
Method 4: Select an Aux output bus and adjust the sends to it from individual input channel faders
(often called “Follow” or “sends on faders”).
Proceed as follows:
Using either the 1-12 or 13-24 button on the Output section, and then the appropriate SEL but-
ton from the output section, select the required output bus.
