TAPE TO MAIN Switch If you have a CD or Tape Deck connected to the CD/TAPE inputs, push down this switch to add the CD/TAPE signal to the main mix. This is useful if you want to play some entertainment* while the band is taking a break. Use the MAIN MIX controls to adjust the volume level. * We do not mean to imply that your band isn't entertaining, or that any other music could possibly fill in for them. With the SOLO MODE switch in the up position, you're in PFL mode, meaning Pre-Fader Listen (postEQ). This mode is required for the "Set the Levels" procedure and is handy for quick spot-checks of channels, especially ones that have their faders turned down. With the switch down, you're in AFL mode, meaning After-Fader Listen. You'll hear the output of the soloed channel--it will follow the channel's GAIN, EQ, FADER and PAN settings. It's similar to muting all the other channels, but without the hassle. In either mode, SOLO will not be affected by a channel's MUTE/ALT switch position. Note: Be careful when switching LOOK from AFL to PFL mode. If you have the channel fader turned down very much below unity gain (U) while in CLOSER AFL mode, switching to PFL mode will cause a sudden and startling increase in volume level. 26. RUDE SOLO LED This large LED lights when a channel's solo is active, as an additional reminder beyond the indicating LEDs on each channel. If you work on a mixer that has a solo function with no indicator lights and you happen to forget you're in solo mode, you can easily be tricked into thinking that something is wrong with your mixer. It's especially handy at about 3 am when no sound is coming out of your monitors but your multitrack is playing back like mad. Note: In PFL Solo Mode, the RUDE SOLO LED is green. In AFL Solo Mode, the LED is red. 25. SOLO MODE PFL/AFL Engaging a channel's SOLO switch will cause this dramatic turn of events: Any existing CONTROL ROOM SOURCE selections are replaced by the SOLO signal, appearing at the CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS, PHONES and at the RIGHT METER (LEFT and RIGHT METERS when in AFL SOLO MODE).
