Aux Sends
The number of Aux sends available depends on the number of cards in the DF66 (or whether the DF70 is used instead) and the
current Mixer Model.
The CM401T Master module has a Group/Aux Strip used for Aux Master functions.
Aux Sends can be mono or stereo odd/even pairs (i.e., 1/2 not 2/3). Each Aux Send can be configured as pre- or post-fader from
the Aux Send Config page.
Aux Send Knobsets
The figure below shows the first eight Aux busses with Aux Sends 1/2 and 7/8 set as stereo pairs and others are mono. Press the
key to display additional busses. Stereo busses use two knobs:
•The Pan knob (top) adjusts the stereo Pan and its lower-left button switches Pan in/out.
•The Gain knob (labeled with the send numbers) adjusts the overall Gain for both sends and its lower-left button switches the
pair in/out.
Mono busses use one Gain knob and its lower-left button switches the send in/out. Aux busses default as post-fader sends. Select
the Gain knob’s upper-left switch to set the Aux bus as pre-fader.
See “Choosing a Mixer Model” on page 28 to learn about these issues.
See “Bus Master Functions” on page 92 for general information and “Group and Aux Busses” on page 95 to learn how to set up
mono and stereo Aux busses.
