Solo Bus Metering
When a channel or dynamics key input is sent to the Solo bus, its
signal is metered on the Selected Channel meters, temporarily re-
placing the metering for any currently targeted channel.
Trimming Solo Bus Level
PFL Solo bus monitoring levels can be controlled by the
on-screen Level Trim control in the
Solo and Monitor Operations
section. The trim amount is adjustable over a range of –20 dB to
+20 dB.
PFL signals are frequently hotter than AFL signals. Because
Level Trim only affects PFL signals, you can use Level Trim to
balance PFL volume levels with AFL or Mix to Monitors volume
levels, with a minimum of Monitoring level adjustment during a
show.
To trim the Solo bus level:
1 Solo a channel.
2 Go to Options > Busses, and adjust the Level Trim setting in
the
Solo and Monitor Operations section.
The following diagrams show the signal flow for PFL and AFL
modes.
Solo Safing Channels
Solo Safing an Input Channel or FX Return prevents that channel
from being implicitly muted when any other channel is soloed.
Solo safed channels are automatically added to any explicitly so-
loed channels.
Solo Safe mode is one of the three Safe modes available for Input
Channels and FX Returns. Solo Safe mode is enabled on the
Options > Interactions
page (see “Input Safe Switches” on
page 65).
To enable Solo Safe mode:
1 Go to the Options > Interaction page.
2 Under Input Safe Switches, select Act as Solo Safes.
To toggle the Solo Safe status of a channel on-screen:
 Click the Safe button at the top of the fader strip to toggle Solo
Safe status of the channel. On-screen, the Safe switch flashes
green and displays the letter
S when a channel is Solo Safed.
