Solo system
solo a and solo b system sections allow solo signals to be selected independently for
each monitor system (A and B). These can be selected as AFL (PFL extinguished), PFL
(PFL illuminated), additive (ADD enabled) or interlock cancelling.
The monitor outputs can be configured for normal or broadcast use and both modes
change the interleaving logic between differing areas of the monitor output. A mode
select button selects either of the two possible options.
Additionally, there is a solo in place switch for activating the SIP function.
Solo system controls on the control surface and GUI
solo in place switch
The solo in place (SIP) switch puts the control
centre in SIP mode. In this mode, pressing a
SOLO button in an input fast strip activates a
mute of all other channels, assuming it is set to
the appropriate monitor (A or B); talk back
remains unaffected.
When SIP is switched on and an input is soloed, all unsoloed inputs are muted, except
the auto-mutes. With SIP in operation, pressing a SOLO button in a VCA section (for a
group) solos all group members, while muting non-group members. When SIP is
switched off, any solos are kept active but the mutes are removed (except the ones
with auto selected, which are left alone).
As this is an important function that may have detrimental consequences, the button on
the control surface is protected by a plastic cover to prevent it being inadvertently
switched on/off.
You can protect a channel from this function by switching on its mute safe (see “Safes”
on page 285).
