Operation Manual

The Channel Strip
Control 2802 Operating Manual 23
Aux Sends
Each channel features two mono auxiliary sends - ideal for
sending to outboard effects devices, such as reverb, or for
creating additional cue mixes.
Use either the stereo FX Returns or the Summing
Input to return effects devices to the mix.
The two mono auxes are ideal for mono in/stereo out devices.
If you require a stereo send, either use the stereo cue bus, or
feed aux 1 to the left and aux 2 to the right input to the device.
By default, the aux sends are taken from the main channel
path, post-fader. Use the AUX 1 PRE (or AUX 2 PRE) switch,
in the master section, to switch to pre-fader - note that sends
for ALL 8 channels are affected:
Aux Level Controls
This control sets the level feeding the AUX
1 (or AUX 2) bus. Send levels can be
adjusted individually, channel-by-channel.
Please note that if you change from pre to
post-fader, or vice versa, the same level is
applied.
MIX Bus Assign
This switch routes the main channel path (post fader and pan)
onto the main stereo mix bus.
Channel Pan
This control pans the main channel path onto the stereo main
mix bus.
The control provides a smooth taper with an approximate pan
law of -4dB. This provides a generally-accepted compromise
between “constant power” and “constant voltage” pan law
designs.
The control has a centre detent for easy mono positioning.
Monitoring the Aux Busses
Each of the aux busses may be selected as a control room
or Cue/FB monitor source. This makes it easy to listen
while building an aux mix, and to use auxes to feed artists
heaphones. See page 34 for aux masters, page 35 for the
cue output, and page 37 for monitoring.
