  1. Verify the Aux outputs are plugged in near the top right of the mixer into jacks labeled Aux1 and Aux2 (Aux2 is optional depending on equipment)

  2. Locate the 2 rows of Aux output knobs located below the grey section of the mixer
    1. The first row controls Aux1 and the second controls Aux2

  3. To send a channel to an aux, lets use the example of setting up the announcer to send out to Aux 1 to send back to their headphones
    1. Locate the announcer channel, generally channel 1, and go up to the Aux 1 knob
    2. Turn the Aux 1 knob up to the desired level, the 2:00 position is approximately the same as the 0 position on a channel fader
  4. The announcer has now been turned up in the aux 1 output
  5. Follow this same process for any other channels that need to be sent to an aux, using the top row Aux1 knobs for Aux1 and the second row for Aux2
  6. Note that the aux outputs will only send signals from channels that are unmuted.
Another setting to be aware of is the Aux Pre/Post fader button for each aux

  1. When the button is in the Out or Pre position, the level of each channel sent to the aux is not dependent on its fader (slider) position. The aux knob will always be fed the level as if the fader is at the 0 position. Then the aux knob sets the output based off of that
  2. When the button is in the In or Post position, the level is dependent on each channel's fader position.  For example, when the announcer fader is set at 0, the aux will output the level set on the aux knob, but as the fader goes up and down, the announcer level going to the aux also goes up and down.
