Subgroup and Monitor Channel

This is the theoretical heart of the Xtramix. Here is where the 8 subgroups are combined and adjusted, and a stereo mix of all the subgroups are created. The adjustment of the monitor section's Level and Pan controls create the stereo mix for the Program outputs, Monitor outputs and Headphone outputs.

1. Subgroup Master Level - This control adjusts the level for each of the 8 subgroups. Metering for the subgroup outputs is provided by two LED VU meters in selectable pairs (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8).

2. Bus/Line Select Switch - This switch is the source select for the monitor channel. In the up position, this switch selects its respective subgroup bus. When depressed, this switch selects any stereo or mono signal present at the rear line input connectors.

3. Monitor Level - When the Bus/Line select is in the Bus position, this control adjusts an independent monitor/program level from its respective subgroup master. When the Bus/line select is in the Line position, this control adjusts the level for an external stereo or mono line input. This means it is possible to send a subgroup signal to, for instance, an external mixing console or multitrack while retaining independent control of that same signal for the stereo and program feeds of the Xtramix.

The Back Panel of the Xtramix has a total of 115 input and output connections.

Each of the 8 subgroup channels has a 1/4" TRS balanced Bus Output jack as well as a 1/4" send/receive Insert Jack. Each of the 8 monitor channels has a Pre/Post select switch and 1/4" left and right input jacks for the stereo Line Return.

4. Monitor Pan - This control places the monitor signal in the left/right perspective.

5. Monitor Solo -In-Place soloing allows you to isolate any stereo channel while maintaining its stereo perspective. A red LED illuminates any time its associated Solo Switch is depressed.

6. Monitor Mute -This switch allows a monitor channel to be individually muted. A green LED illuminates any time its associated mute Switch is depressed.
