Reference Manual

 If the MIX/MATRIX bus is a stereo bus

You can link the main parameters of two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX/MATRIX

buses. If the send-destination MIX/MATRIX bus is assigned as stereo, the left knob of the

two adjacent TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knobs will operate as the TO MIX/MATRIX

PAN knob. (If BALANCE mode is selected in the TO STEREO/MONO window, it will

operate as a BALANCE knob).

NOTE

• For a MONO channel, the right knob will adjust the common send level to the two MIX/MATRIX

buses, and the left knob will adjust the panning between the two MIX/MATRIX buses. Rotating

the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knob counter-clockwise will increase the amount of signal

sent to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus, and rotating it clockwise will increase the amount

sent to the even-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus.

• For a STEREO channel, if BALANCE mode has been selected on the TO STEREO/MONO

window, the right knob adjusts the common send level for the two MIX/MATRIX buses, and the

left knob adjusts the volume balance of the left and right signals sent to the two MIX/MATRIX

buses. Rotating the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knob counter-clockwise will increase the

amount of signal sent from the L-channel to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus, and rotating it

clockwise will increase the amount sent from the R-channel to the even-numbered MIX/MATRIX

bus. If PAN mode has been selected in the TO STEREO/MONO window, the left knob will function

as the PAN knob. The right knob function will be the same as in BALANCE mode.

Using the Centralogic section

You can use the multifunction knobs in the Centralogic section to adjust the send level of

signals sent from eight consecutive input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus.

NOTE

• If you want to monitor a signal being sent to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus, use the Bank Select

keys to assign the corresponding MIX channel to the Centralogic section, and then press the

[CUE] key for that MIX/MATRIX channel.

• In the OVERVIEW screen, you can also adjust the send level of the signal sent to the MIX/

MATRIX buses. To do so, press the SEND LEVEL knob for the MIX/MATRIX that you want to

adjust, and then use the multifunction knob in the Centralogic section to adjust it.

MIX SEND/MATRIX SEND window

1 ALL PRE button

Sets the send point to PRE. (The send point is the point at which signals are sent from

all send-source channels - including the input and output channels - to the selected send

destination.) At this time, the PRE/POST button will light.

2 ALL POST button

Sets the send point to POST. (The send point is the point at which signals are sent from

all send-source channels - including the input and output channels - to the selected send

destination.) At this time, the PRE/POST button will turn off.

3 Send destination indicator

Indicates the currently-selected send destination.

STEP

1. Assign an output port to each MIX/MATRIX bus to which you want to send signals,

and connect your monitor system, external effects, or other device to the

corresponding output port.

2. Use the Bank Select keys in the Centralogic section to select the channels that you

want to control.

3. In the OVERVIEW scree, press the TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knob to select the

desired send-destination MIX/MATRIX bus, and then press it again.

4. Use the SEND ON/OFF button in the MIX SEND/MATRIX SEND screen to turn the

signal on/off and to adjust the send level.
