Soloing and the Monitor Buses 168
Solo Bus Metering
When a channel or dynamics key input is sent to the Solo bus, its signal is metered on the Selected Channel meters, temporarily re-
placing the metering for any currently targeted channel.
Trimming Solo Bus Level
PFL Solo bus monitoring levels can be controlled by the on-screen Level Trim control in the Solo and Monitor Operations section.
The trim amount is adjustable over a range of –20 dB to +20 dB.
PFL signals are frequently hotter than AFL signals. Because Level Trim only affects PFL signals, you can use Level Trim to bal-
ance PFL volume levels with AFL or Mix to Monitors volume levels, with a minimum of Monitoring level adjustment during a
show.
To trim the Solo bus level:
1 Solo a channel.
2 Go to Options > Buses, and adjust the Level Trim setting in the Solo and Monitor Operations section.
The following diagrams show the signal flow for PFL and AFL modes.
Solo Safing Channels
Solo Safing an input channel prevents that channel from being implicitly muted when any other channel is soloed. Solo safed chan-
nels are automatically added to any explicitly soloed channels. Solo Safe only applies to SIP and AFL solo modes. Solo safe status
is ignored in PFL mode.
You can Solo Safe channels using the Channel Safe
switches and on the external screen fader strips. You can also Solo Safe a chan-
nel using the CKM in Channel Control mode. Solo Safe mode is enabled on the Options > Interactions
page.
To enable Solo Safe for the Channel Safe switches:
1 On the external screen, go to the Options > Interaction page.
2 In the Channel Safe Switches section, under Inputs and Outputs, select Solo Safes as desired.
To Solo Safe channels using the Channel Safe switches:
1 Make sure you have enabled Bank Safe for the Channel Safe switches.
2 On the S6L control surface, do the following:
• Bank the desired channel to the faders.
• Press Safe for the channel you want Solo Safe.

You can create an event that lets you cycle through the various Channel Safe switch modes, as well as suspend or disable Bank
Safe (Disable Bank Switch). See
Creating Events.
