GROUP ASSIGN switches

These switches are used to assign (i.e., send) the input channel signal to groups. They work

in conjunction with the PAN control. For example, with GROUP ASSIGN switch [1–2] ON

and the PAN control set midway, the channel signal is sent equally to Groups 1 and 2. With

the PAN control turned fully counterclockwise (L/ODD), however, the channel signal is sent

only to Group 1. Likewise, when it is set fully clockwise, the signal is sent only to Group 2.

The same principle applies to GROUP ASSIGN switch [3–4]. Note that input channel signals

are always sent to the Stereo bus regardless of the GROUP ASSIGN switch settings.

PAN control

This rotary control has two functions: For recording it’s used in conjunction with the

GROUP ASSIGN switches to assign the input channel signal to even and odd numbered

groups. For mixdown it’s used to pan (i.e., position) the signal in the stereo mix.

Fader

This fader has two functions: For recording it’s used to adjust the level of the input channel

signal that’s recorded to a track. For mixdown it’s used to balance the input channel signal

relative to the other input channel signals. For optimum performance, faders should be posi-

tioned about the 7–8 mark.
