Appendix H: Parameters Protected By
Safes
This appendix shows the parameters affected/unaffected by each of the safe types (EQ,
DYN, MIC, AUTO, MUTE and FADER).
Note: The parameter areas for the scopes (store and recall) and the safes are, basically
the same. However, the way they are presented in their respective appendices is
different. This may provide you with a useful alternative when referring to this
material, should you prefer one more than the other (see Appendix F "Parameters
Affected By Scope" on page 337).

The following table provides a quick reference for finding the channel/group safe areas
