Mix Minus (S5B Only)
Each channel has a Mix Minus output that can send a unique feed to an announcer. The Mix Minus Reference Bus is configured
on the last page of the GRP routing knobset.
The signal from the channel to the mix minus system can be set pre- or post-fader using the Pre key. The Mix- knob controls the
Mix Minus Output’s gain.
To create a Mix Minus assignment:
1 Press the Bus key on a channel Strip to route it to the Mix Minus bus.
2 Press the Mix- key to create a feed for an announcer’s ear piece on that channel’s Mix Minus output.
The channel’s signal is subtracted from the Mix Minus bus so the announcer can hear all voices on the bus except their own.
