V5.8 Reference Manual

Sending signals from MIX channels and STEREO/

MONO channels to MATRIX buses

You can send a signal from a MIX or STEREO/MONO channel to MATRIX buses 1–8 in the

following two ways.

 Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section

With this method, you use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send levels to the

MATRIX buses. This method allows you to simultaneously control the signals sent from a

specific MIX, STEREO (L/R), or MONO (C) channel to all MATRIX buses.

 Using the faders (SENDS ON FADER mode)

With this method, you switch the QL series unit to SENDS ON FADER mode, and use the

faders on the top panel to adjust the level of signals sent to the MATRIX buses. When using

this method, signals sent from MIX and STEREO/MONO channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX

bus can be adjusted simultaneously.

Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section

Use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send level of signals sent from the desired

MIX, STEREO (L/R) or MONO (C) channel to all MATRIX buses.

NOTE

• You can also use the [SEL] key in the MAIN section to directly select the STEREO/MONO

channels.

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

in the Fader Bank section to access the corresponding MIX/MATRIX channel, and then press the

appropriate [CUE] key in the Channel Strip section.

MATRIX SEND screen

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.)

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.)

3 Send destination indicator

Indicates the currently-selected send destination.

4 Send destination select buttons

Select MIX/MATRIX buses as the send destination.

5 Channel select button

Selects the send-source channel that you wish to control. The current channel icon,

number, and color appear on the button, and the channel name appears below the

button.

STEP

1. Assign an output port to the MATRIX bus to which you want to send signals, and

connect an external device.

2. Use the Bank Select keys in the Fader Bank section and the [SEL] keys on the top

panel to select the channels that will send signals to the MATRIX buses.

3. In the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen, turn on the TO MATRIX SEND ON/OFF

button for the send-destination MATRIX bus.

4. Use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send levels to the MATRIX buses.
