Each input or group channel can access up to 128 auxiliary sends. The number available is defined by the DSP Configuration.
Any odd/even pair of mono sends can be linked for stereo operation. Or, you can create surround sends (up to 8-channel) from Auxes 1-8, 9-16, etc. This is handled in the same way as for other channels. See Creating Stereo or Surround Channels.
There are several ways to assign a channel to an aux send:

  • From the AUX SENDS area in the Central Control Section.
  • From the fader strip Free Controls using an FC PRESET.
  • From the fader strip Free Controls using Expanded Parameter Control.
  • Using any of the bus assign methods (described earlier).
  • From the Extra Buttons display.

    The example below describes the Central Control Section.

    1. Turn the AUX rotary control to page the auxiliary sends onto the rotary controls - the names (e.g. AUX 1 to AUX ) appear in the displays.
    2. Press the ON button to activate the send - the AUX assign area on the Channel display updates to reflect your assignments:

    3. Use the rotary control to adjust the send level. The send level can be adjusted from -128dB to +15dB.
    4. The send level defaults to be post fader. Press PF to switch the send pre fader or PEQ to switch to pre EQ.
    Note that the bus assign boxes on the Channel display are color coded to reflect the different assignments:
  • Post-fader – white writing on green (e.g. Aux 3).
  • Pre-fader – black writing on white/green (e.g. Aux 5).
  • Pre-EQ – white writing on green/white (e.g. Aux 8).
    5. The SEL button can be used to select the aux sends, in groups of 8, for operations such as copy or reset, link groups, etc.


When an Aux Send is Stereo:
1. Press either of the linked Aux ON buttons (e.g. on Aux 1 or Aux 2) to activate the send.
2. Use the upper rotary control to set the level (Gain) of the aux send.
3. Use the lower rotary control to adjust the pan position, or stereo balance if routed from a stereo input channel.
By default, the pan (balance) onto a stereo aux send is linked to the channel XY pan position. You can disable this using the Delta Panpot to Aux Sends option in the System Settings display.

  • When an Aux Send is Surround:

    1. Press any of the linked Aux ON buttons (e.g. on Aux 1 to 6) to activate the send.
    All Aux send channels are enabled.
    Note that you can deselect individual ON buttons to switch off particular elements of the surround send – for example, to turn off the send to the LFE channel.
    2. Use the first Aux (e.g. Aux 1) to adjust the level of all surround Aux sends.
    Note that the panning onto a surround aux send is always linked to the channel pan position.


Aux Masters
1. Aux channels can be assigned to fader strips in the usual manner. See Fader Strip Assignment.


To get instant access to your Aux masters, assign them to a lower fader bank (e.g. Bank 5).

2. Control the level, mute, AFL and PFL and assign free controls as you would for an input channel.
3. Apply signal processing from the Central Control Section as you would for an input channel.
Other Aux Send Shortcuts
1. The following Custom Function can be used to COPY and PASTE fader levels to an aux: Central User Button, Copy channel levels to Aux.
2. You can control aux send levels from the channel faders using the FADER CONTROL buttons in the centre section.|
