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.

The ML4000 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.

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 and channel SAFE/EDIT LEDs 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.

MUTE GROUP. Press one or more of these

momentary action switches to mute the channels

assigned to them. More than one group can be

selected at the same time. The switch illuminates

when the group is selected. Press again to turn the

group off. Note that you can release and reselect

the assigned channel mutes while the group is on.

To Assign a Mute Group

Press EDIT GROUPS. Next, press the MUTE

switch for the group you want to edit. Both switches

flash. The channel SAFE/EDIT LEDs display which

channels are currently assigned to the group. Now

press the channel MUTE switches to toggle

channels in or out of the group. Press EDIT

GROUPS again to exit edit mode, or press another

group switch to edit a different group.

Using Mute Groups

Applications include muting groups of instruments,

unused channels when mixing different bands, all

channels except walk in music before the show

starts, all effects, a bank of radio mics during an

instrumental number, stage mics during a scene

change, and so on.
