Master Control Section
This seemingly complicated
checkerboard of controls is
actually a dozen smaller, easi-
er-to-understand sections, each
with a unique purpose.
Some you will hardly ever use.
Some play important and regular
parts in key functions such as
Mute Groups and Sub Groups.
Aux
Master.
As we noted
earlier, the
AUX buses
are like four
separate
additional
mixers.
The
AUX
sends on each
channel strip
determine
how much of
that channel
goes into an
AUX bus.
The
AUX MASTER controls de-
termine the levels that are out-
put to the
AUX OUT jacks on the
mixer back.
Aux Master AFL buttons
and indicator.
Enables ( ) or disables ( ) the
AFL function.
When this is enabled, the sig-
nals that have been adjusted by
the AUX MASTER (–) knobs
can be monitored via MONITOR
or PHONES.
When AFL is enabled, the
orange LED lights up.
Musician's Phones.
This is a Greg Mackie innovation
that takes the complication out
of creating the monitor or stereo
in-ear mixes that your perform-
ers want.
