¥

B

routes the signal from the Channel B send bus to the monitor.

A B

routes both channel send busses to the monitor.

¥

(OFF)

disconnects the send signal from the monitor.

The two Monitor

RECEIVE

routing switches (

MONITOR 1 RECEIVE

,

MONITOR 2 RECEIVE

) do the

same thing, only with the signal from the A and B Receive Decoders.

But these are stereo monitor mixers, and the individual send busses or receive channels
may be mono or part of a stereo pair. So we’ve given you a lot of flexibility in how the
signals are panned in the monitor circuits.

About Monitor Panning

Since ZephyrExpress’ mixers are digitally controlled, we were able to build in a lot of
versatility.

Each of the four possible sources (A and B send bus, A and B receive codec output) is
connected to four separate pan controls for each monitor mixer. Each control can be set
to any position in the left/right field. (The controls themselves appear in the

Audio

menu,

and are discussed below.) ZephyrExpress will use the one control that matches that
source’s routing switch:

¥

If you select

A

on the routing switch, the submenu’s

A setting

will be used.

¥

If you select

B

on the routing switch, the submenu’s

B setting

will be used.

¥

If you select

AB

, the mixer will use the submenu’s

AB setting A

position for the A

channel and the

AB setting B

position for the B channel.

The drawing that follows describes what the software’s actually doing. Assume that the
hidden “Monitor 1 Receive” block is identical to the Send block you can see. By the way,
this is all repeated for the

MONITOR 2

circuit... making a total of 16 pan pots in

ZephyrExpress.
