V1.30

10.6 Audio / Solo

Set your preferences for the solo monitoring system.

The strip solo key operates in the following way:

• Input solo overrides mix solo

• Releasing input solo restores previous mix solo

Solo Number – Set the solo bus that the 4REA4 will use for the monitoring system. This affects the

function of the solo keys, Listen key, and audio to the 4REA4 headphones.

When more than 1 solo bus is configured in the Engine / Config / Structure screen, multiple operators can

share the same 4REA4 system whilst using different solo busses.

 The 4REA4 headphones output is defaulted to solo bus 1.

 The RTA function is fixed to solo bus 1

 Delay, PFL Trim and Ext Input to Solo Source are available for solo busses 1 and 2 only.

Mix Follows Bus Solo automatically makes a Mix key active when a Mix solo key is pressed.

Mix Follows Input Solo automatically makes a Mix key active when an Input solo key is pressed.

Sel Follows Solo automatically selects a channel when its solo key is pressed.

Additive Mode sums solo selections when turned on. Selections auto-cancel when turned off.

Select either PFL (pre-fade listen) or AFL (after-fade listen) for Input channels and Mix (Output) masters

when the strip solo keys are pressed.

Ext Ip to Solo Source – Use the drop-down menu to select and assign an external signal to the solo

monitor, for example an I/O Port input for ‘shout’ communication

When assigned, controls for the preamp Gain, Trim, PAD and phantom power will appear in the window to

the right.

A Delay up to 682ms can be set to align the solo signal with the acoustic sound from the stage.

PFL Trim adjusts the PFL signal from -inf to 10dB. This avoids loud PFL levels in situations where the Mix

output levels are low.
