Operation Manual

THE LINE MIXER 6:2
94
Introduction
The Line Mixer 6:2 allows you to control the level, stereo placement (Pan) and effect
mix (AUX Send) of each connected audio device.
The Line Mixer is configured with 6 (stereo) input channels, which are combined and
routed to the Left and Right Master outputs.
Channel parameters
The channels are identical and contain an Auxiliary Send, Mute and Solo buttons, a
Pan control, and a Level control:
The Auxiliary Return Section
The AUX Return channels provide inputs for a connected send effect device. The Aux
Return channels have a single level control on the front panel.
Master level
The Master L/R fader controls the summed output level of all channels in the Mixer.
Use this to change the relative level of all channels, to make fade-outs etc.

Level control This controls the output level of each corresponding channel,
allowing you to set the desired mix (balance) between different
devices connected to the Line Mixer.
Channel label Each channel in the mixer that has a device connected to it, dis-
plays a read-only label with the name of the device.
Channel meter The meter is a graphical representation of the channel output
level. If the signal level pushes the meter into the range of the
red area, try lowering either the output level of the device con-
nected to the channel, or the Level control itself, to avoid distor-
tion.
Pan control Use this control to set the left/right position of the channel in
the stereo field. [Command]/[Ctrl]-click the Pan knob to set Pan
to the default “0” (center position).
Mute (M) and
Solo (S) Buttons
Clicking a channel’s Mute button silences the output of that
channel. Click the button again to unmute the channel.
Clicking a channel’s Solo button silences all other mixer chan-
nels, so that you only hear the soloed channel. Several channels
can be soloed at the same time. If this is the case, note that so-
loed channels can’t be muted with the Mute button. To mute
one of several channels in solo mode you simply “unsolo” it.
Auxiliary (AUX)
Effect Send
The AUX Send controls the amount of channel signal that is to
be sent to other devices - typically effect processors. The effect
output is then normally returned to the Mixer via the AUX Return
input where it is mixed with the dry (non-processed) signal. If
you create an effect device when the Mixer is selected, the ef-
fect is auto-routed to the Send/Return connectors. You can
then control the amount of effect that is to be applied to any de-
vice connected to a Line Mixer channel via the AUX Send knob.
The Send can be taken pre or post channel level - see page 95.
