the AUX OUT sockets to floor
monitors or in-ears.
AUX  and  are “pre-fad-
er”. A pre-fader
AUX send
routes the signal out of the
mixer BEFORE it passes
through the channel fader.
You can move the volume
fader to your heart’s con-
tent but it’s not going to af-
fect the outbound volume.
Pre-fader is best for moni-
tor mixes. If music is faded down
when a presenter is speaking or
a singer is reading scripture or
speaking, the monitor volumes
for the musicians don’t change
— they still hear everything they
need. Plus level does not change
for fader moves, avoiding feed-
back in the monitor system.
A post-fader
AUX send routes
the signal out of the mixer AF-
TER it’s gone through the fader.
If you move the volume fader up
and down, that
AUX send vol-
ume goes up and down, too. Use

Think of Sound-
Link’s four AUX
sends as four
extra mixers. You
can add a portion the channel
strip’s signal into one of four
separate buses and then route
those “mixes” to various plac-
es. The most common use is to
create monitor mixes for the
musicians. You can add whatev-
er combination and amount of
various channels and then route
this mix through an
AUX MASTER
level control and through one of
post-fader
AUX for on-air
broadcasts, assisted listen-
ing, church crying rooms
and foyers, club and restau-
rant lobbies and restrooms,
and stereo recording devic-
es via SoundLink’s USB out.
In the case of stereo input,
the left and right signals are
mixed and sent to the AUX
bus.
You can also use AUX 3 as
Left and AUX 4 as right to
create an analog mix output.
AUX
 and  are always
PRE-fader. For AUX  and , you
can use the
PRE switch to select
either
PRE or POST
Aux PRE Switch.

FX Send.
Your SoundLink mix-
er has  extremely
realistic effects, each savable and
recallable; each with adjustable
parameters.
The FX control determines the
amount of the channel signal
that is sent to the
FX bus. The FX
Send is always post-fader
