L MUTE GROUPS

Mute Groups Explained

A mute group lets you turn a selected combination

of channels on or off with a single key press. The

mute group key acts as a remote control for the

assigned channel mutes.

Mute groups are edited by selecting edit groups

mode and using the channel MUTE switches to

assign channels to the group. The assignment is

edited or viewed one group at a time. All mutes in a

group can be turned off (cleared) or turned on (set)

using the shifted recall function.

The ML5000 has 8 mute groups. You can select

more than one group at the same time. VCA group

mutes cannot be assigned to the mute groups.

Mute group settings are not stored as part of the

console snapshot memory system. However,

channels which have been muted by a group and

have not been made safe from the automation will

be stored.

L1 EDIT GROUPS. Press this switch to put the

console into edit groups mode. The red LED

flashes to warn that the console is in edit mode.

Press at any time while the LED is flashing to

restore normal operating mode. All the group

MUTE LEDs L2 and channel SAFE/EDIT LEDs

D3 turn off when edit mode is first entered. This

means that no group is selected for editing.

Only one group may be edited at a time. The

current assignments for the selected mute group

are displayed on the channel SAFE/EDIT LEDs.

L2 MUTE GROUP. Press one or more of these
