Channel parameters The channels are identical and contain an Auxiliary Send, Mute and Solo buttons, a Pan control, and a Level control: | Item | Description Level control This controls the output level of each corresponding channel, allowing you to set the desired mix (balance) between different devices connected to the Line Mixer. Channel label Each channel in the mixer that has a device connected to it, displays a read-only label with the name of the device. Channel meter The meter is a graphical representation of the channel output level. If the signal level pushes the meter into the range of the red area, try lowering either the output level of the device connected to the channel, or the Level control itself, to avoid distortion. Pan control Use this control to set the left/right position of the channel in the stereo field. [Ctrl]-click (Win) or the Pan knob to set Pan to the default “0” (center position). Mute (M) and Solo (S) Buttons Clicking a channel’s Mute button silences the output of that channel. Click the button again to unmute the channel.Clicking a channel’s Solo button silences all other mixer channels, so that you only hear the soloed channel. Several channels can be soloed at the same time. If this is the case, note that soloed channels can’t be muted with the Mute button. To mute one of several channels in solo mode you simply “unsolo” it. Auxiliary (AUX) Effect Send The AUX Send controls the amount of channel signal that is to be sent to other devices - typically effect processors. The effect output is then normally returned to the Mixer via the AUX Return input where it is mixed with the dry (non-processed) signal. If you create an effect device when the Mixer is selected, the effect is auto-routed to the Send/Return connectors. You can then control the amount of effect that is to be applied to any device connected to a Line Mixer channel via the AUX Send knob. The Send can be taken pre or post channel level - see “Auxiliary (AUX) Send”.
