43. C-r/PHNS Only Button
The "Control Room/Phones only" button that is located below
AUx Return Control 4 allows users to send the AUx Return 4
post-fader signal to the Control Room/Phones mixing bus for
monitoring purposes.
44. returns Solo Button and Indicator
Pushing this buttons allows you to send the signal from all AUx
Retuns to solo mixing bus(which is, inturn, send to the Control
Room/Phones mixing bus).When the solo is activated, the
corresponding leD indicator will illiminate.
45. AUX Send 1 to 4 Master Controls and Solo Indicator
These controls adjust the final level of the AUX 1,2,3 and 4
signals(as taken from the AUx level controls 1 to 4 on each
channel strip), the audio of which is sent to the corresponding
AUx sends, The corresponding solo buttons allow you to
direct the AUx send signals to the Control Room/Phones
mixing bus for monitoring purposes. When any of the AUx solo
buttons is activated, the leD will illuminate.
46. Pre/Post Button and Solo Indicator
This button alternates the solo source signals between those of
post-fader and pre-fader feeds, th be sent to the solo and Control
Room/Phones mixing bus. When the solo indicator,located
beside the pre/Post button, is illuminated, it means one or
more Solo buttons has been pushed; therefore the Main Level
meter will display proporties of the solo signal, which is helpful
in the setting of channel proporties.if solo indicator illuminates
green, this means the Solo feed is a pre-fader signal; if the solo
indicator illuminates red, the feed is post fader.
47. Solo Control
When one or more solo buttons are activated on any channel,
or on the master section, this control adjusts the signals'
levels before sending the amplified signal to the Control
Room/Phones mixing bus. This enables the user to be able
to switch between monitoring the Main l-R(or other selected
signals) and the solo signals without being over-whelmed by
the difference in signal levels.
48. 2T return Controls
Turning the 2T Return level control adjusts the signal level of
the feed from the 2T Return inputs. The "2T Return to Main
l-R" button that accompanies this control allows users to send
the 2T return signal to the Main l-R mixing buses. When the
"to Main" button is pressed, the Main l-R mix signal is not sent
to the Rec out, as to avoid producing a feedback loop when
recorded signals are fed back into the 2T return.

49. Control room / Phones Control
This control is used to adjust the audio level of the Control
Room and Phones feeds, for use in the monitoring and
tracking of audio. The signal is then sent to the Control Room
outputs on the rear of the sonic station 16 mixer, as well as the
Phones jack on the face of the mixer.
The four buttons, located below the Phones / Control Room
control, allow users to select the various possible sources for
the Control Room and Phones outputs. By simply pushing
one of these, users have the ability to monitor the 2T return,
group 1-2, group 3-4, and Main l-R signals, either together or
individually. There is also a "C-R/Phns onlY" button located
beneath the Aux Return 4 control, that, when pushed, sends
the AUx Return 4 signal to the Phones / Control Room mixing
bus.

ed.
51. Power Indicator
The Power indicator will light up when the power of the mixer
is on; in case you weren't too sure.
52. level Meter
This dual 12 segment level meter gives an accurate indica-
tion of when audio reach certain levels. The 0 dB indicator il-
luminates 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. To make the maxi-
mum use of audio, set the various level controls so that it sits
steadily around 0 dB to make full use of audio, while still main-
taining fantastic clarity.
if any solo buttons are activated on channels 1 through 16,
or in the master section, the level Meter will display the solo
signal's properties. however, if no solo buttons are activated,
the Control Room / Phones selected sources (Main l-R, group
1-2, group 3-4, 2T Return or Aux Return 4) signal properties
are displayed by the level Meter. in this case, the level meter
will display the sum of the selected signals.
