60. TO MON/PHONES Switch
Press this switch to route the CD/TAPE signal to the
Monitor and Phones outputs when there are no solo
switches engaged. The Main Mix and CD/TAPE signal
is overridden in the Monitor and Phones outputs by any
PFL or AFL solo.
61. BREAK (TAPE TO MAIN)
Press this switch to route the CD/TAPE signal to
the Main outputs. This actually disconnects the Main
Mix signal from the Main outputs and replaces it with
the CD/TAPE signal. This allows you to easily start up
recorded music during a break without having to mute
or turn down the faders on all the channels.
The patch point for the BREAK switch is prior to the
MAIN INSERTS, the COMPRESSOR (if selected), and
the MAIN MIX fader.
62. STEREO RETURNS AUX Sends
These tap a portion of the STEREO RETURNS signal
out to AUX 1-4. This allows you to send a processed
signal out to another processor if you want, or to add a
processed signal to a monitor mix, or to use the Stereo
Return as a stereo input and still be able to send the
signal to an external processor or stage monitor.
FEEDBACK LOOP WARNING: It is
common to use an Aux Send to route
signals to an external processor, and
then return the signal from the pro-
cessor via the Stereo Returns.
Since
the Stereo Returns on the Onyx 4•Bus have Aux Sends
of their own, you could accidentally route the Stereo
Return signal to an Aux Send that is being returned via
that same Stereo Return. This will cause a feedback loop,
characterized by
a LOUD howl or
screech through
the sound system,
followed by howls
of discontent from
the audience.
Be
careful with the
Aux Sends on the
Stereo Returns!
you are using the Aux send to go to an effects processor.
This way, when fader changes are made, the “wet” signal
going to the effects processor moves up and down along
with the “dry” signal, maintaining a balance between
them.
The pre-fader Aux Sends are post-EQ by default. How-
ever, an internal jumper is provided on each channel to
change the pre-fader Aux Sends to pre-EQ, if desired.
This requires some soldering skills, so contact Tech Sup-
port for information on how to access the pre/post-EQ
jumpers for the Aux Sends.
57. AFL Solo Switch
The AFL switch allows you to hear the Aux Send sig-
nal through your headphones or monitor outputs. This
comes after the Aux Send GAIN control, so you can hear
the relative signal level on each Aux Send.
Remember, PFL solo mode always overrides AFL solo
mode. If you engage a PFL solo switch on a mono or
stereo channel, the AFL solo is disconnected from the
headphones and monitor outputs and replaced with the
PFL signal. The Rude Solo LEDS below the SOLO meters
indicate which solo mode is active.
58. MUTE
Press this switch to mute the Aux Send output. When
the MUTE switch is pushed in on an Aux Send, you can
still solo the Aux Send.
59. CD/TAPE Level Control
This knob controls the level of the signals connected
to the left and right TAPE IN jacks. The signal is then
sent to the MONITOR/PHONES output (when the TO
MON/PHONES switch [60] is pushed in) and the MAIN
OUT (when the
BREAK switch
[61] is pushed
in). The CD/TAPE
level control pro-
vides 10 dB of ad-
ditional gain when
turned fully up.
