The main section contains all controls for controlling the main mix elements as well as<br />

a “TV screen” for viewing the parameters of the current selected insert.<br />

The three buttons across the top of the main section select what is shown on the TV<br />

display. Input and output routings are graphically displayed. When an effect is selected<br />

(by clicking on the insert), the screen shows the available parameters for the currently<br />

selected effect.<br />

Below the TV screen is the Aux Bus section where effects, effects chains or other inserts<br />

can be assigned to the two aux buses. Send and return levels can be individually<br />

controlled for each of the two Aux Buses.<br />

The Aux 1 and Aux 2 buses are fed by the two Aux Sends on each mixer strip. The Master<br />

Send Level control on Aux bus 1 and 2 can be used to attenuate or boost the signal<br />

going into the Auxiliary Inserts. There is also a Master Return Level to control the<br />

amount of the effected signal that will be returned into the main mix.<br />

The Main Bus can also have a chain of effects inserted. (You might put an EQ effect here<br />

to equalize your room.) Note that the Main Output level control comes before the<br />

Monitor Level so it controls the level of both outputs. There is a stereo peak meter that<br />

indicates the signal strength for the main mix.<br />

The Monitor section has a volume, balance, and a mute control to cut off the monitor<br />

output.<br />
