AUX & CUE MASTERS
Aux Masters
Control 2802 has two aux buses and a simple set of controls are
provided for the master output of these buses.
The two aux masters feature a level control – useful for that

vintage digital reverb processors that may be connected here.
Each of the two aux masters can be globally switched to pick-up
either the pre-fade or post-fade auxiliary buses from the channels.

selection works at the aux master location.
The signal leaves after the master level control via the rear
panel balanced male XLR outputs.
Monitoring Aux Buses
The aux buses feed the monitor source selection panel in
both the cue and control room monitor sections. Therefore
headphone mixes can be created via aux sends 1 & 2 and can
be sent to performers directly via the cue source selections.
They can also be monitored in the control room to build the
foldback mixes by ear (as opposed to performer direction) and

parallel compressor.
In order for this to be achieved please select the desired source
in the monitor source panel. If you wish to monitor one of these
sources in the control room make sure you depress the MIX/
SRC switch to allow the source selection to feed the monitor
path of Control 2802. Please be aware that these sources sum
when more than one is selected.
Cue Master

top right or the master section.
The CUE/FB section allows you to select whatever sources you
want to feed the main cue outputs on the rear of the console
(XLR Male).
The cue bus is naturally an option here and must be selected,
but so are a number of other sources – again please be aware
that these sources sum when more than one is selected.
There are two external stereo inputs – DAW MIX and
DAW FB (foldback).
These two stereo inputs (found as rear panel line level XLR
inputs) are intended to be used to monitor either the mix output
of your DAW or a separate stereo foldback mix from your DAW.
