5.5 Subgroups
The XENYX provides 4 subgroups which allow you to feed multiple channels
to mono or stereo mixdowns. Their volume level can be adjusted using the
subgroup faders. For example, create a subgroup with all vocal channels or drum
signals and adjust the volume using the subgroup fader. This way you can keep
track and, at the same time, can process the signal with a compressor via the
subgroup insert.
Additionally, you can also use the subgroup outputs as sends for a

MAIN

The MAIN switch routes the subgroup signal to the main mix.
With the PAN control you can adjust the signal to the left side of the stereo
image (PAN turned fully left), to the right side of the stereo image (PAN turned
fully right) or to both sides (PAN in center position) of the stereo main mix.
For example, when creating a stereo submix with the subgroups 1 and 2, group 1
should be adjusted to the left and group 2 to the right side of the main mix in
order to maintain a balanced stereo image. In case you have created a mono
submix with only one subgroup, be sure to center the PAN control so that the
signal is not only heard on one side.
SOLO
The SOLO switch routes the subgroup signal to the AFL bus (Solo In Place) or PFL
The SOLO switch routes the subgroup signal to the AFL bus (Solo In Place) or PFL
bus (Pre Fader Listen), so that you can monitor the subgroup signal without
affecting the main or sub output signals. The signal to be monitored is taken
either pre (PFL, mono) or post-subgroup fader (Solo, stereo), depending on the
position of the SOLO/PFL switch. The SOLO LED illuminates when the SOLO switch
is pressed.
CLIP
The CLIP LED lights up as soon as the subgroup signal's level is too high.
