Master controls, solo/mute and fader
Towards the bottom of each input fast strip are the masters section and
pan control, LCD select button, mute and solo, and the input fader.
Masters sections and pan control
The masters controls have extensive support on both the control surface and the
GUI. In general, there are three routing switches to the master buses and also pan
control. Pan provides master panning as three-way or two-way (depending on
SIS™ setting) and also provides two-way panning for any stereo mix groups,
subgroups etc. (When used for monitor applications, aux, mix and main buses
are controlled from the channel master pan and fader. AFL solos also operate as a
default from the main solo switch.)

Item Control Function
1 SIS switch
This spatial imaging system (SIS) switch, enables SIS™ mode. This mode operates with the pan and mono level/SIS image control
knobs, and acts as an LCR master bus enable, overriding stereo and mono master bus assignments. However, their status remains in
memory, so that when SIS is disengaged, the mono and stereo settings can return. Pressing SIS alters the gradations of the mono
level/SIS image control knob on the GUI.
2 ST switch This stereo switch connects post-fader channel signal to master stereo bus via pan control.
3 pan control knob
Adjusts the relative levels sent to a left-right bus pair or the master left-centre-right (LCR) buses. In SIS™ mode, it can also control the
‘image’ to give a constant power crossfade from LCR to stereo.
4 MON switch This mono switch connects post-fader channel signal to mono master bus.
5
mono level/SIS
image control
knob
In mono mode, this dual-function control knob acts as a mono level control knob to adjust the mono signal level. In SIS™ mode, it
becomes a SIS image control knob that modies pan control knob operation to place the channel within a three-speaker system
(see “Stereo panning” in chapter 11).
On the GUI, a masters section — similar to the masters section in the channel strips —is at the bottom of the input channel overview (GUI channel strip). From here,
you can open the masters processing area, which also has a masters section with the same functionality, and in addition has mute and solo buttons, and a fader.
