Studio 32 Reference Manual 21
Group mix: Once signals are routed to the Group section, you can use the GROUP
FADERS to determine the total volume of all channels assigned there. In the
studio, the Group output usually is connected to the inputs of a multitrack recorder,
such as the Alesis ADAT. But in live performance applications, the Group Out
jacks may be used to feed other amplifiers, broadcast feeds or even other mixers.
Some engineers even use the Groups for extra effect sends.
Subgrouping: During mixdown or in PA applications, the Groups may be
“subgrouped” or assigned to the L/R Main mix, using the TO L/R buttons above the
GROUP FADERS. so that the Group Master faders can be used to adjust the volume
of several different inputs at once, such as multiple channels of drums or vocals.
L/R master: Every input may be routed to the main left and right outputs, either
directly or via a Group Master or the Monitor Link to L/R.
Monitor 1/2 section
In multitrack recording, once signal goes from the Group Outputs to the recorder, it
comes back to the tape inputs. The TAPE IN jack has no trim control of its own; it is
designed to handle the balanced or unbalanced line levels that all multitrack
recorders generate. Each channel features an in-line monitor which selects either
the tape return or the mic/line input source for the MONITOR 1/2 mix. The
MONITOR 1/2 mix has its own MASTER LEVEL control and may be heard in
several different ways:
• From its own output jacks connected to an external headphone amplifier
• the HEADPHONE jacks of the Studio 32, with the SOURCE switch down
• in the Control Room mix, with the MON 1/2 switch down
• in the L/R mix, if the LINK TO L/R switch is down
