Alesis 12 FireWire Manual De Usuario

 

 

The Master Section is the heart of  the mixer, where the channel 

inputs and aux returns all are mixed together and routed in various 

ways. 

 

 

The signals from all channels and aux sends—excluding those that 

are muted—are sent to the main mix. The MAIN MIX fader is the 

one you’ll use to control the overall level of  those combined 

signals. This fader affects the levels of  the signals sent to the 

MAIN MIX OUT, the DIGITAL OUT (12FXD and16FXD 

models only) and the 2-TRACK OUT. In its lowest position the 

signal is cut off  completely, and in the uppermost position you get 

an additional 10dB of  gain. In the 0 position the fader is at unity 

gain. 

 

 

This fader controls the output of  the Alt 3/4 bus. 

 

 

When you press this switch, the signal coming in through the 2-

TRACK IN gets routed to the MAIN MIX, joining whichever 

other signals are already part of  the main mix. Used this way, the 

2-TRACK IN effectively becomes another stereo channel (but 

without all the extras like pan, EQ, etc.). 

 

The 2-TRACK IN signal combines both whatever is plugged into 

the 2-TRACK RCA jacks and also any audio coming back to the 

computer over Firewire. 

 

 

This switch adds the signal from the Alt 3/4 bus to the main mix 

bus. 

 

 

The SOLO MODE switch affects the signals of  channels whose 

PFL / SOLO switches are engaged. When the SOLO MODE 

switch is in the up position, you’re in PFL, or pre-fader listen 

mode. This means that you’ll hear the signals of  all soloed 

channels as they sound before they pass through their respective 

faders. You’ll need to be in PFL mode when you’re setting levels 

(see “Setting Channel Levels,” page 12. This mode is post-EQ. 

 

When the SOLO MODE switch is engaged (in the down 

position), you are in SOLO mode. This means that you will hear 

the output of  every soloed channel (after it passes through its 

fader, pan and EQ).
