SIF – Solo In Front
This mode is very useful as it allows you to listen in isolation or
with some of the main mix blended in.
This ensures that you keep a reference point in ear shot at all
times. The SIF control is a continuously variable potentiometer
that blends the main mix bus back in with the solo bus.
Please note that SIF does not work in SIP mode.
VCA BUS COMPRESSOR
Bus Compressor
Control 2802 features an integrated high class, patchable
VCA bus compressor. It is located in the master section of the
console on the right hand side underneath the monitor section
and is a soft-knee VCA design optimised for mix bus use.
However, with the addition of a wet/dry blend control for parallel
compression and external patch capability, this compressor
really works well on the drum bus (among other uses which we
aresureyouwillnd).
Please note that by default it is located after the mix insert
points. However, it can be externally patched and therefore
removed from the mix bus path and freely assigned to any new
destination via its own balanced rear panel I/O.
This way it is entirely possible to create a chain at the mix
bus insert point with the VCA compressor followed by or
preceededbyanoutboardequaliser.Alternatively,youcould
deploy the bus compressor on a vocal subgroup across a pair
of Control 2802 channels.
