A Tour of the iMultiMix16 USB

5) SOLO MODE

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).

6) HDPH / CTRL RM

The HDPH / CTRL RM knob controls the level of the signal

being sent to the CTRL RM OUT and the PHONES output. The

level of this signal is represented by the LED meters. The switches

to the right of the HDPH / CTRL RM knob determine the source

of the control room mix as explained below. You can use these

switches in any combination. If none is selected, you’ll hear silence

in the control room mix and the LED meters won’t light up.

The “CTRL RM” in the name of this knob refers to the fact that it

controls the signal that typically is sent to the control room

monitors of a studio, where someone—usually an engineer—is

working the mixer. However, don’t be intimidated if you’re using

this mixer in your bedroom, which probably isn’t equipped with a

control room. In this scenario, you can use headphones or connect

the CTRL RM OUT to your speakers.

7) MIX Switch

Pressing the MIX switch routes the main mix to the control room

level control. When you engage this switch, the channels and aux

sends will pass through the MAIN MIX fader and then through

the HDPH / CTRL RM level control. You can then keep the

MAIN MIX fader set to unity gain for optimal recording, and the

HDPH / CTRL RM level control set to a more comfortable

listening level if necessary.

8) ALT 3/4 Switch

When you press the ALT 3/4 switch, the signal from the ALT 3/4

stereo mix bus is routed through the HDPH / CTRL RM level

control.

he purpose of seeing a

soloed channel’s level on the

LED meters is so that you can

see the true level of that

channel’s signal. For that

reason, the HDPH / CTRL

RM knob does not change the

LED meters’ reading—it

changes only the level at

which you’re listening to the

soloed channel.

When you solo a channel via

its PFL / SOLO switch, that

channel’s signal will override

your control room mix

selection. You then will hear

only that channel in the

control room and the

headphones.
