Using The Mute Function
Muting channels allows the user to eliminate channels from the mix which they do not
want to hear. Mute states are global and are not stored to presets. They are, however,
retained after a power cycle.
To mute/unmute channels:
1. Select the channel(s) and/or group(s) which you would like to mute, using the
button(s) (the LED on the top of the selected Channel
Select button(s) will light green, indicating your selection).
2. Press the button to mute the selected channel(s). The Status LED on
the bottom of the selected Channel Select button(s) will light red, indicating
the channel is muted.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 to mute additional channels, if necessary.
4. To unmute channels, press the button(s) for the
channel(s) in which you would like to unmute, then press the button.
To unmute all channels quickly, use the Clear function.
ActivAtiNg groups:
To enable the Group function and mute/unmute all channels
within a group, press the button then perform the above steps.
Note:
Multiple channels can be selected for muting using the PMC16’s Multi-Select
feature (see “Using Multi-Select”). Conversely, the button can also be pressed
and held, allowing multiple channels to be quickly muted using the channel’s
SELECT> buttons.
