Alesis studio24 Manual Do Utilizador

drum Channels’ L/R switches off, assign them to Group 1/2, and press Group 1/2’s
TO L/R switch. The Group 1/2 faders are now a submaster for the entire drum mix
in the left/right stereo mix feeding the PA or mixdown deck.

 

 Sometimes you may need two separate subgroups, instead of a stereo pair. The
MONO switch allows you to do this. When MONO is down, Group 1 will feed both
left and right of the L/R mix, so, for example, it may be used as a vocal subgroup. (If
there was no MONO switch and you did a subgroup, all the vocalists would wind up
hard-panned to the left side of the mix only.) Group 2 will also appear in the center
of the L/R mix.

 

 The two Group Master FADERS adjust the total output level of all signals assigned to
each Group. They get their signal from the GRP switches in the Channels and the
Stereo Aux Returns. They send signal to the two Group  output jacks, the GRP
Control Room switches, the LINK TO L/R switches explained above, and to the
DIRECT OUT SOURCE switches in Channels 1 - 8.

 
Tip: 

The GROUP FADER of the Studio 24, like the L/R Master, is at unity gain (“0

dB”) when all the way up, not at 2/3 travel as with some other consoles. This
allows you a greater range of control on fadeouts, and makes it easier to “dial in”
the best gain structure, since the “sweet spot” of the fader is in a useful part of
the taper.

 

 This is a stereo 60 mm fader with its unity 0 dB position at the top of its travel, like
the group faders. Signal from the L/R output feeds the Control Room switch, and the
top and back panels’ MAIN OUT jacks which are normally connected to a mixdown
deck, or to a PA system.
