TALKBACK TO STUDIO button

Routes sound arriving at the in-panel Talkback

mic to the Studio outputs.

Note:

Make sure the speakers that are connected to

the Studio Outs are located in another room to avoid
feedback when the TALKBACK TO STUDIO button is
depressed.

CLEAR SOLO button

Disengages all engaged solo buttons throughout

the entire console. This is especially convenient
considering sections may be soloed across multiple
fader banks.

SOLO LEVEL button

Assigns the V-Pot in the Studio/Solo section to

adjust the solo level being fed to the Control Room
outputs. Not applicable to mixdown solo (use L/R
fader to adjust mixdown solo level).

STUDIO LEVEL button

Assigns the V-Pot in the Studio/Solo section to

adjust the output level being fed to the Studio
monitor system.

TALKBACK LEVEL button

Assigns the V-Pot in the Studio/Solo section to

control the preamp level for the in-panel Talkback Mic.

RUDE SOLO LIGHT

Blinks whenever a Solo button is engaged.

Phones/Cue Mix Section

sets levels for the Phones outputs.

AUX 9-10

Assigns the Aux 9-10 mix to the Phones output.

AUX 11-12

Assigns the Aux 11-12 mix to the Phones output.

COPY MIX TO CUE button

Pressing this causes all channel settings to be

copied to the channel V-Pots for the selected CUE
MIX 1 (Aux 9-10), CUE MIX 2 (Aux 11-12), or aux
pair (Aux 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8). This is a very quick way
to copy the MASTER L-R mix, including effects, to the
phones output, which can then be easily fine-tuned.

CONTROL ROOM button

Assigns whatever is selected in the Control Room

section to the Phones output. Solos are also routed
to the Phones output when Control Room is selected.

LEVEL V-Pot

Adjusts the Phones output level.
