Level, Pan, Solo & Mute Controls

The Pan control comes before the Level Control

and Aux Sends in the signal flow. On stereo strips

we use an unconventional pan section with two

pan pots – one for the left part of the signal and

one for the right part of the signal. This feature

allows you to independently position both sides

of the stereo signal. A conventional stereo balance

control only allows you to turn down one side or

the other.

The Mute button does just what you would

expect—press the button and the sound from that

channel is cut off. Pressing the Solo button while

the Mute button is pressed allows you to hear the

channel until solo is turned off.

The Solo button allows you to listen to only that

channel while muting the rest of the inputs. If

multiple solo buttons are pressed, you will hear all

soloed channels and the non-soloed channels will

all be muted.

The mute status is remembered if a muted channel

is soloed. When the channel solo is turned off, the

channel reverts to being muted.

The Level Control for the strip is an attenuation

control that can also provide up to +12dB of gain.

0db is the unity gain setting. You can also type

numeric values into the displays to set the level.

At the very bottom is the Scribble Strip text area,

into which you can type any short piece of text,

thus naming the strip, i.e. “vocals”, “bass”,

“drums” and so on.
