XL-Desk – Owner’s Manual Page 11
Stereo Cue and Mono Auxes
XL-Desk has a STEREO CUE bus which can be sent to using the green level pot and panned with the blue pot. The Stereo
Cue is switchable between pre or post-fader, on a per-channel basis using the POST button. During tracking, the Stereo
Cue could be used for an artist’s headphone mix. For mixing, the Stereo Cue could be used to send to an FX unit for
reverb/delay.
Aux 1 and Aux 2 are mono sends, which would normally be connected to outboard FX processing like reverbs and delays.
Aux 1 is also suitable for the creation of a second headphone mix. Aux 1 and Aux 2 are globally switchable between pre
or post-fader, in the MASTER TRIMS section.
Using the ALT input button when mixing
When mixing, the STEREO CUE can source the input that is currently not selected as the main input to
the channel. This is done by pressing the ALT (alternate input) button. For example, if DAW is selected
as the main input to channel 9, then pressing ALT would bring LINE INPUT 9 into the Stereo Cue for that
channel. The green pot is used to control level whilst the blue pot positions the source within the Stereo Cue
field. Finally, the TO A button underneath the STEREO CUE MASTER TRIM can be used to inject the all signals
on the Stereo Cue bus into Mix Bus A. Using this method will provide an extra 16 inputs to the mix.
Pan Pot, Mix Bus Assignments, CUT, SOLO and Faders
At the base of XL-Desk you will find traditional analogue desk functions.
The blue PAN pot controls the channel’s left/right positioning in the stereo field when assigned to one
or more stereo mix bus.
A B C D buttons will route the channel to the relevant stereo mix bus: Mix A, Mix B, Mix C, Mix D.
CUT mutes the channel’s output.
SOLO - The exact action of the solo is dependant on the desk’s current solo mode: Solo-in-place
(SIP) or AFL (After-Fader-Listen). See page 17 for additional information.
The space below the SOLO button provides enough room to stick the traditional strip of electrical tape
to write track names on.
The 100mm analogue fader provides a gain control for feeding the selected stereo busses and/or direct
channel output if CHOP POST is selected.
