Think of them as an AUX 1/2 send with independent input source selection from the
channel source, which can be submixed into the L/R if desired.
EQ:
 The 75 Hz high-pass filter switch is independent of the EQ and may be used
even if the EQ IN switch is out. The midrange controls are semi-parametric
(frequency select and boost/cut). The EQ section affects the channel path only, not
the MONITOR 1/2 section.
AUX:
 There are two post-fader Auxiliary send busses, with two knobs from each
channel. Both controls always send from the channel.
SOLO:
 The SOLO keys function as SIP (stereo solo-in-place, also known as After-
Fader-Listen or AFL). The Stereo Aux Returns are also soloed in SIP mode.
FADERS and gain structure:
 The Group and L/R master faders are designed with a
nominal "0" position at the top of their travel, not the 3/4 position. The channel
faders have 10 dB of gain from the nominal position to the top of fader travel. Most
other pots are marked with a nominal position (usually "2 o'clock"). The Main Outs
(1/4”) and Group outputs add an extra 6 dB of gain when used in balanced mode.
Chapter 7 “Description of Controls” gives a knob-by-knob definition of each feature
of the Studio 24, so if you know what the “EQ” controls do, but you need more
information on “LINK TO L/R”, this is where you can look it up. In any case, please
remember that after you get started, this manual contains information that will help
you get the highest level of performance from your Studio 24. Even an expert may
pick up some creative alternative techniques that aren't obvious at first glance.
