 C  MAIN MIX  D  INPUT FADERS 
 C1     MAIN MIX. A single switch routes the 
channel signal to the 3 output main mix. Its balance 
and image within the L, R and C outputs is 
determined by the BLEND and PAN controls. 
 C2      BLEND. This control adjusts the balance 
between the LR and C outputs. Fully anti-clockwise 
all the signal routes to the LR outputs and none to 
C. At the detented centre position the signal routes 
equally to the LR and C outputs. Fully clockwise all 
signal routes to the C output and none to LR.  
BLEND does not affect the group routing. The 
control has a 3dB attenuation at centre position.  
The stereo channels route stereo to LR and sum 
the signal in mono to C. 
 C3  PAN. Adjusts the balance between the L and 
R outputs. It does not affect the C output. At the 
detented centre position the signal routes equally to 
L and R. PAN and BLEND combine to adjust the 
balance between the 3 outputs. PAN also adjusts 
the balance between odd and even groups if the 
GRP PAN ON switch is selected. The control has a 
3dB attenuation at centre position. 
 C4   GRP PAN ON. In the up position the groups 
are sourced pre-pan. Use this setting for creating 
mono groups not affected by the position of the 
PAN control. When pressed, the groups are 
sourced post-pan. Use this setting for creating 
stereo groups where the signal is balanced between 
L and R using the PAN control. 
 D1      IDENT STRIP. Identifies the channel 
numbers and provides a write-on area. The use of 
low adhesion artist or masking tape is 
recommended. 
 D2    MUTE. This momentary action switch turns 
the channel signal on or off. Both pre and post-fade 
signals are affected unless the pre-fade pre-mute 
setting has been internally configured. The channel 
can also be muted by the mute groups, VCA group 
mutes, snapshot memories, solo-in-place and MIDI 
note on/off messages. The switch illuminates when 
the channel is muted. 
The switch also functions as a solo select when the 
console is in SIP mode, and as an edit key when in 
EDIT GROUPS or EDIT SAFES mode. The 
channel mute status is always displayed on the 
switch regardless of mode.
