OUTPUT SECTION

The output section is the large area to the right of

the input channel strips. It contains the master fad-

ers and metering, as well as the send and return

masters, cue, monitoring and communication

controls.

8•BUS FADERS

At the bottom of the output panel are the mas-

ter faders for each of the eight buses (1). Each

fader controls the level of its mix, with precise dB

markings and a unity gain point marked on the

panel. The fader is located in the circuit after the

submaster insert jack but before the final line

amplifier.

There is an Assign section associated with each

bus fader, detailed below. Note that no matter

what the selection of the assignment switches, the

output of each bus is always present at its Sub-

master/Tape Output jack and is monitored on its

own bus meter.

L MIX and R MIX

The odd-numbered buses have an L MIX but-

ton above their faders (2); the even buses have an

R-MIX button (3). Pressing this button assigns

the bus to the L or R Mix bus, respectively. This

switch, along with the MONO L & R switch dis-

cussed below, allows you to assign submix buses

within your L/R mix.

MONO L & R

The MONO L & R switch (4) functions ONLY

when you have first depressed the L MIX or R

MIX. If you’ve pushed L MIX or R MIX, pushing

MONO L & R will assign the bus to both channels

of the Left and Right Mix buses, instead of just the

Left, or just the Right. This is also for submixing,

but allows you to put your submix in the center

rather than on either side.

(Those of you with patch

cords have probably realized

you can patch the bus into a

channel and do even more

fun things, but we’ll talk

about that later.)

SOLO

The SOLO button (5) solos the output of the bus

fader. When any SOLO button is pressed, the SOLO

LED lights.

This is a pretty trick SOLO, too. If you have not

pushed the MONO L & R switch, the SOLO sends the

odd-numbered tracks to the left speaker and the

even-numbered tracks to the right, whether or not

the associated L MIX or R MIX is engaged. But if you

have pressed MONO L & R,

the SOLO circuit is smart

enough to send the bus to

both speakers and put the

stereo image in the middle.

You will be the envy of your

neighborhood.

L/R MIX FADER

The L/R MIX fader (6) is

a stereo fader located at the

far right of the console. The

fader controls the level of

the L/R MIX bus, with pre-

cise dB markings and a

unity gain point marked on

the panel. This fader, like

the bus faders, is located in

the circuit after the L/R in-

sert jack but before the final

line amplifier.
