API Audio 1608 Automation - Manual (Page 87)

Care should be taken when setting the null level of the Group Master in order to provide
adequate group gain and attenuation with detailed control. Setting null level too high or too
low may limit the effectiveness and resolution of the Group Master. A setting of 0dB is a
recommended null position for Group Masters and will typically provide maximum control
over the group.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not set the master null point with the fader all the way down
(-

dB). All member faders will jump to their highest level if the null
point is set at -

dB and the Group Master Fader is moved.

mix.
