INPUT STEREO
20. AUX / FX 1/2
These controls determine the amount of the summed L and R signals that are sent POST-FADE to the AUX/FX
summing bus. For more details on the functioning of these controls, please refer to the INPUT/MONO section
of this owner's manual.
21. AUX3/4
These controls determine the amount of the summed L and R signals that are sent to the AUX3 or AUX4
summing bus. Depending on the setting of the AUX PRE/POST switch in the master section, you can choose
whether the signal gets split PRE or POST FADER. For more details on the functioning of these controls, please
refer to the INPUT/MONO section of this owner's manual.
22. BAL
The function of the stereo channels' BAL control is comparable to the PAN control's function of monaural
channels. For example, turning the rotary control all the way to the right outputs the right signal via the right
output while muting the signal of the left channel. When the control is set to its center position, the L and
R signals are present with equal intensity on the corresponding outputs. Whenever stereo sound sources
are connected to a stereo input, you should leave the BAL control at the center position or make only minor
adjustments in either direction. In case a microphone or another monaural sound source is connected, the BAL
controls function absolutely identical to the PAN controls in the monaural input channels.
23. MUTE
The MUTE button mutes the input signal post fader, including all AUX sends. PFL and Signal/Peak stay
operational.
24. PFL
Engaging the PFL button sums the stereophonic audio signal of the corresponding input channel and routes
the resulting monaural signal to the headphones bus. You are able to listen to the audio signal via the phones
output. The meter instrument in the master section is simultaneously switched, so that the left LED-chain
indicates the level (in dBu) of the actually chosen channel, which allows optimally matching the level of the
signal source.
Simultaneously assigning as many channels as you want to the phones summing bus is no problem. The
volume levels of the individual signals are not affected by the setting of the corresponding channel faders (PRE
FADER LISTEN), which provides the opportunity to set the level and the EQ of a channel, without the need to
include it in the main mix, i.e. you can leave the channel fader down or even engage the MUTE button.
25. SIGNAL/PEAK
The stereo SIGNAL/PEAK indicator function provides independent analysis of left and right channel audio
signals. The respective highest level reading is indicated, assuring that neither one is already driven into
clipping. For further information on how to use this indicator most efficiently, please refer to the description of
the monaural channel's identical feature.
26. VOLUME
The channel fader is used to simultaneously adjust both levels (volumes) of the stereo signal. Functioning is
totally similar to the monaural channel fader, as previously described in the paragraph INPUT/MONO.
