OUTPUT channels

V5.8 Reference Manual

3 MODE select button

Press this button repeatedly to toggle between ST/MONO and LCR.

4 ST/MONO buttons

These buttons are individual on/off switches for signals that are sent from each channel

to the STEREO bus/MONO bus when the MONO button is set to ST/MONO mode.

5 Σ clipping indicator

Lights to indicate a signal is clipping at some point in the channel.

6 TO ST PAN/TO ST BALANCE knob

If the type of the MIX channel signal is MONO, this knob will function as a PAN knob

that adjusts the left and right pan position of the signal sent to the STEREO bus. If the

type of MIX channel signal is STEREO, this knob will function as a BALANCE knob that

adjusts the volume level balance of left and right signals sent to the STEREO bus. To

adjust the value, press the knob to select it, and then operate the [TOUCH AND TURN]

knob.

7 Tabs

Enable you to switch between windows.

8 LCR button

This button is an overall on/off button for signals sent from a channel to the STEREO bus

and MONO bus. If this button is off, no signals will be sent from the corresponding input

channel to the STEREO bus or MONO bus.

9 CSR knob

Adjusts the relative level of signals sent from the channel to the STEREO (L/R) bus and

to the MONO (C) bus, in the range of 0–100%. To adjust the value, press the knob to

select it, and then operate the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob.

TO STEREO/MONO window

(CH1–32, CH33–64/ST IN (QL5), ST IN (QL1), OUTPUT)

This window shows the status of signals sent from the corresponding channel to the STEREO

bus/MONO bus. You can also adjust the selected pan or balance setting.

1 Channel select button

Selects the channel. You can select multiple channels simultaneously.

2 Σ clipping indicator

Lights to indicate a signal is clipping at some point in the channel.

3 TO ST PAN/TO ST BALANCE knob

Adjusts the panning or balance.

To adjust the value, press the knob to select it, and then operate the [TOUCH AND

TURN] knob.

If the signal level reaches the overload point at any meter detection point in that

channel, the Σ clipping indicator to the right of the knob will light.

4 ST/MONO indicator

If a channel is set to ST/MONO mode, these indicators will individually indicate the on/

off status of signals sent from the channel to the STEREO bus/MONO bus.

If that channel is set to LCR mode, the LCR indicator will be displayed in this location.

The LCR indicator indicates the on/off status of all signals sent from that channel to the

STEREO bus/MONO bus.
