AUX SENDS SOLO AUX MASTERS AUX SENDS AUX RETURNS PRE POST MON O O EFX TO MON This button allows you to solo an individual AUX SEND. If you are using the aux sends to feed your stage monitors, you can use these buttons to check your monitor mix. Beside each switch is an indicating LED to let you easily spot a soloed aux send. The aux send solo is not affected by the SOLO MODE switch (PFL/AFL), except that in PFL mode only the right meter indicates the signal. The aux send's PFL/ AFL status is determined by the PRE/POST switches next to the AUX SEND MASTERS. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 O O +15 SOLO PRE POST MON +10 O O +10 TO AUX 5 2 SOLO PRE POST O O O O +15 +10 O O +10 TO AUX 6 O O +15 MON 3 SOLO PRE POST O O 38.

These controls range from off () to +10 dB of gain when fully clockwise, to compensate for low-level effects. Signals passing through the AUX RETURN level controls proceed directly to the MAIN MIX bus where they are combined with the other channels just before the MAIN MIX fader [38].

AUX RETURN 4 to CR/PHONES ONLY When this button is up, AUX RETURN 4 is routed to the MAIN MIX bus, just as the AUX RETURNS 1-3 are. When the button is down, the AUX RETURN 4 stereo signal is routed to the CR/PHONES matrix instead. It doesn't matter if any of the SOURCE buttons are assigned, but it will be interrupted, as usual, if a SOLO button is engaged. Let's pretend you're doing a live mix to a 2-track deck, a house PA, or both, and you want to play along to a click track. You could run the click track directly into the MAIN MIX, but you don't want the mixdown deck or the audience to hear it. Oh yeah, you can route it to the control room and phones output instead!Similarly, it can be used for voice-over tracks, narration, anything you want heard by the engineer and players but not by the audience and mixdown deck.

EFX TO MON Level Controls These controls route the signal from AUX RETURNS 1 and 2 to the AUX 5 and 6 SENDS. This allows you to use an external effects device, like a reverb or delay, exclusively for the monitors. When these controls are turned up, the stereo effects return signal is summed to mono and combined with the signals coming from all the channel AUX 5 and AUX 6 send controls. If you want to add reverb or delay to the stage monitor mixes, these are the knobs for you. Operating independently of their respectively numbered AUX RETURNS level controls, these knobs are exactly the same as the AUX 5 and AUX 6 knobs found in the channel strip. 18 ONYX 1640 Owner's Manual These two knobs feed their respective stereo AUX RETURN signals to a mono summing amp and then: TO AUX 5 feeds AUX RETURN 1 to AUX SEND 5 master, and TO AUX 6 feeds AUX RETURN 2 to AUX SEND 6 master. They are off when turned fully down, and provide up to 10 dB gain turned fully up. 45. [. . . ] Contact the Authorized Mackie Service Center to arrange service or bring the Mackie product to them.
