50. FX to AUX 1 Control
This control allows users to send the signal processed by the
effects processor to the AUX 1 send mix, allowing for monitoring
of the signal.
51. FX to AUX 2 Control
This control allows users to send the signal processed by the
effects processor to the AUX 2 send mix, allowing for monitoring
of the signal.
52. FX to Main Control
The FX to Main control will allow users to adjust the EFX signal
that is sent to the Main or Group 1/2 mixes, as determined by the
Main/Group button.
53. Main / Group Buttons
These button on the left (Main L/R / Group) allows users to send
the signal processed by the effect processor to either the Main or
Group mixes. If this button is set to Group, using the Group 1/2
/ Group 3/4 button will determine which of the group mixes the
signal will be sent. If the Main L/R / Group button is set to Main,
the Group 1/2 / Group 3/4 button will be rendered useless.

Master Section
The master section of the mixer features all the goodies: the level
meter, main level fader, +48V and power indicators, the solo/PFL
button, and so on and so forth. This is where a lot of the magic
happens, so take care not to miss anything.
55. +48V Indicator
This LED indicator will light up when
Phantom Power is activated. To turn the
AM's Phantom Power on or off, simply
flick the switch on the rear of the mixer.
56. Power Indicator
The Power Indicator will light up when
the power of the mixer is on.
57. Level Meter
The dual 12 segment level meter gives
an accurate indication of when audio
levels of the Main L/R signal reach certain
levels. The 0 dB indicator illuminates is
approximately equal to an output level
of +4 dBu (balanced), and the PEAK
indicator illuminates about 1.5 dB before
the signal is dynamically clipped. It is
advised that users set the various level controls so that the signal
level sits steadily around the 0 dB mark, to make full use of audio
while still maintaining fantastic clarity.
58. Solo / PFL Switch
Located underneath the Level Meter, this button alters the Solo
signals received by the Control Room / Phones mix between Post
(solo) and Pre (PFL) fader signals. Whether set to Solo or PFL,
one of the corresponding LED indicators will light up to indicate
the current setting. If adjusting a signal with the Control Room /
Phones level control, it is advisable that this button is set to Solo,
ensuring the signal is independent of any channel faders.
59. Main Fader
The Left and Right main mix is controlled with this fader – the final
level control for the Main Left and Right audio feeds, sent to the
Main L and R outputs. When pushed all the way up, the Main L/R
fader provides 10 dB of gain to the signal, and when set all the
way down, the signal is effectively muted.
