5.1.2: FX RETURN CONTROLS
The stereo FX Return channel is fed from the output of the
console’s internal FX processor. It is a cut-down version of the
normal stereo channel, without trim, EQ, or Aux 3 send.
An example in use might be running a Reverb algorithm in the
processor. Each individual channel’s Aux 3/FX control will control

FX send (though not the parallel Aux 3 sends) is always post-fade
soaninputchannel’scontributiontothatreverberanteldwillbe
proportional to that channel’s contribution to the main mix.
On the Signature 12 and 12MTK models you could create a
contribution exclusive to the reverb by not routing to the Master
left/right bus (MST).
BAL
Adjust stereo balance for this channel
Adjusts the relative levels of the left and right signals for this channel, eectively adjusting the left-right position
of the overall stereo image. For Signature 12 and 12MTK consoles the balance is also adjusted across Group 1 (left)
and 2 (right) when the channel is routed to GRP 1-2.
GRP 1-2
Route the channel output to Group 1 and 2 busses
Signature 12 and 12MTK only. The channel's PAN/BAL or BAL control determines the proportion of the signal
group pairs.
