10 Front and rear panel —Owner’s Manual Master controls ■ GROUP section This section individually controls the output sig- nal of GROUP buses 1–4.
Master controls 11 —Owner’s Manual ■ AUX section This section individually controls the output sig- nals of A UX buses 1–6. The signal that has passed through the A UX 1–6 output channels ca.
12 Front and rear panel —Owner’s Manual ■ STEREO/MONO section This section separately contr ols the STEREO OUT jacks (page 17, 3 in the connect or section) which are the main output of the mixer , and the MONO OUT jack (page 17, 2 in the connector section) which outputs a monaural mix of the STEREO OUT output.
Master controls 13 —Owner’s Manual ■ AUX RETURN section This section contr ols the two ster eo A UX returns. By using the L and R jacks of A UX RETURN 1/2 (page 19, A in the connect or section) in pairs, you can input st ereo signals. If only the L jack of A UX RETURN 1/2 is connected, this can be used as a monaural A UX return.
14 Front and rear panel —Owner’s Manual ■ T APE IN section This section contr ols the signal that is input from the T APE IN jacks (page 17, 4 in the connector section). The input signal from the T APE IN jacks can be sent directly fr om the ST bus, and can also be monitored fr om the C-R OUT jacks or PHONES jack.
Master controls 15 —Owner’s Manual 3 T APE IN switch This selects the signal that w ill be monitored b y the C-R OUT jacks and PHONES jack: either the PFL/AFL bus, or the T APE IN jacks. 4 C-R MONITOR LEVEL (control room moni- tor level) control This adjusts the level of the signal that is sent to the C-R OUT jacks.
