The green “-20” LED will light whenever a signal of -20 dB or higher is present
anywhere in the channel circuit. This will help you determine what instruments are
on what Channels, and if the TRIM controls are set properly. The “-20” LED has a
second function as an indicator for the SOLO switch, described in the next topic.

SOLO
The SOLO button sends the Channel’s signal (and only that Channel’s signal, if no
other SOLO buttons are pressed) directly to the Control Room section, cutting off any
other signals to the Control Room. It allows the engineer to focus on one signal
without disturbing any other mixes.

without disturbing any other mixes.
When SOLO is pressed, the green “-20” LED will light solid (even if no signal is
present) and the master SOLO LED will light in the Master module section, to alert
you that Solo is active.
You can adjust the output level of the signal(s) being soloed by turning the SOLO
knob in the Master module section. If you’re listening to a soloed Channel in the
Control Room, the CONTROL ROOM LEVEL knob will also affect the volume in the
room’s speakers. Likewise, if you’re listening to the solo in the headphones, the
HEADPHONE LEVEL knob affects the solo volume.

The meter will show the level of the soloed signal, unaffected by the master solo level
knob, so you can easily compare the level of individual channels and set the TRIM
control accurately.

: GRP
The GRP switch assigns the output of the Channel the two Group output busses,
usually for recording on a multitrack. The amount of signal sent to GRP 1 or GRP 2 is
determined by the Channel PAN knob. Panning hard left puts all of the Channel’s
signal to GRP 1; hard right puts all of the Channel’s signal to GRP 2. When the
Channel’s PAN control is set to 12 o’clock, both Groups receive the same amount of
signal and will be heard from the center of the stereo image.

Note that even when the Group switch is down, no signal will go
from the Channel to an intended Group if the Channel PAN knob is
turned to the wrong side. For example, if the GRP 2 fader is up but
the Channel is panned hard left, no signal will go to GRP 2.

Tip
:Remember that the signals sent to GRP 1 and 2 with this switch can also appear
at the Studio 24’s DIRECT OUT jacks, if the DIRECT OUT SOURCE switch (see
