This is extremely useful when you need to mute channels but can't afford to lose fader settings. 14. CHANNEL PFL SWITCH This switch allows the operator to monitor each channel to set tone, gain and effect levels before turning up the fader 15. CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT SWITCHES These switches assign the channels' signal to the group faders for sub-mixing and to the Left & Right faders in the Master Section. Each channel can be assigned to the 12, 3-4, and L-R Faders in stereo pairs. This feature allows the operator to group certain channels (such as the channels used to mic an entire drum kit) and assign them to one pair of the master faders in the 1-2, 3-4 sub group. This sub-mixing feature decreases the number of channel faders that need to be adjusted. channel is great for a third main mix, a subwoofer out or in the case of a main mono mix, group 1-4 and L-R creates a 6 buss console. 28.

TAPE OUT SOURCE This switch changes the tape out source from L-R to AUX 3-4. This is a great feature for 2 track live recording where a different mix is needed from the L-R house mix 34. [. . . ] This allows the send to be connected to the input of the external equipment and the return to its output completing the insert loop back to the channel. HALF INSERT DIRECT OUT The half insert connection creates a send sig nal without breaking the channels signal path. The insert in this mode is no longer used as an insert but it becomes what is called an "insert direct out". An insert direct out functions as a normal direct out but the plug has to be half inserted. If an insert is needed on the same channel, special cabling is required to perform both functions. [. . . ]
