Soloing and the Monitor Buses 162
Soloing and the Monitor Buses
The S6L system provides two discrete, independently configurable Monitor buses, as well as two discrete headphone outputs on
S6L-32D/24D/24C, each of which is also independently configurable. S6L-16C provides a single headphone output. You can route
individual channels to either or both Monitor buses, and feed each Monitor bus to discrete hardware outputs and the headphone out-
puts.
This chapter shows how to configure the Monitor buses and soloing options on the S6L system, how to adjust the Monitor buses,
how to solo channels, and how to use the headphone outputs.
Configuring the Monitor Buses and Solo Options
The S6L system provides two discrete Monitor buses. Each bus is independently configurable. You configure your Monitor buses
using the Options > Buses page of the external screen.
Selecting a Solo Mode
Three Solo modes are offered for input channels: Pre-Fader Listen (PFL), After-Fader Listen (AFL) and Solo In Place (SIP). Out-
puts are always soloed in AFL mode. You can also toggle Solo modes using the AFL switch in the Monitoring section on the MLM.
To select a Solo mode:
1 On the external screen, go to the Options > Buses page.
2 Under Solo and Monitor Operation, select the Type pop-up menu and choose one the following Solo modes:
Pre-Fader Listen (PFL)
PFL Solo mode sends the signal from explicitly soloed input channels to the Monitor bus. The signal is
post-insert, pre-fader and pre-mute. Mono input signals are sent to both sides of the Solo bus, and the left and right sides of stereo
input signals are sent to the corresponding sides of the Monitor bus. PFL is the default Solo mode.
After-Fader Listen (Stereo AFL)
AFL Solo mode sends the signal from explicitly soloed channels and solo-safe inputs to the Mon-
itor bus. Soloing of outputs is always AFL. In AFL Solo mode, both input and output signals are sent to the Monitor bus post-fader
and post-pan/balance, and are always panned to stereo even if the Main buses are configured in L–C–R mode.
Solo In Place (SIP)
SIP mode applies to input channels only. SIP sends the signal from the soloed channel(s) to the Mains buses,
bypassing the Monitor bus. Signal is sent post-pan/balance. Show files do not open in SIP mode. If you save a Show file while in
SIP, when you reopen the Show file, it will open in PFL Solo mode.
Monitor Bus options on the Options > Buses page
In SIP mode, the soled channel(s) is (are) sent directly to the Main buses. Use this feature only at soundcheck.
