9. [. . . ] They are off when turned fully down, deliver unity gain at the center detent, and can provide up to 15dB of gain turned fully up. AUX RETURN 3 and AUX RETURN 4 have no such knobs.
MAIN MIX TO SUBS (AUX RET 3)
With this switch up, AUX RETURN 3 behaves like all the others -- it delivers a stereo signal, regulated by its level knob, to the MAIN MIX . When you engage this switch, the signals are removed from the MAIN MIX buses and sent to the 1-2/3-4 switch, which diverts the signal once more. Please read on.
AUX RETURNS (LEVEL)
These four controls set the overall level of effects received from the stereo AUX RETURN input jacks . These controls are designed to handle a wide range of signal levels -- each knob goes from off, to unity gain at the detent, to 20dB gain fully clockwise, to compensate for low-level effects. Signals passing through the STEREO AUX 1604-VLZ PRO 16-CHANNEL MIC/ LINE MIXER RETURN level controls will proWITH PREMIUM XDR MIC PREAMPLIFIERS LAMP ceed directly to the MAIN MIX U U U fader , with exceptions that 1 1 1 we'll discuss in a moment.

If that turns out 2 4 to be too loud or too quiet, adPHAN PWR just the effects device's outputs, STEREO AUX RETURN not the mixer. That way, the U mixer's knobs are easy to relocate at the center detent.

12/34 (AUX RET 3)
As you've just read, if the MAIN MIX TO SUBS switch is disengaged, the 12/34 switch does absolutely nothing. AUX RETURN 3's stereo signal will not be sent to the MAIN MIX, but to subgroup faders 1 and 2 (12/34 switch up) or subgroup faders 3 and 4 (switch down). Let's say you've made a stereo drum submix on subgroup faders 1 and 2, so you can ride those two faders instead of the seven channels that the drums came from. Subgroup fader 1 has its ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX, LEFT button engaged and subgroup fader 2 has its ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX, RIGHT button engaged, blending the drum submix back into the MAIN MIX. The drum channels are also sending signals to your reverb via the AUX sends and the reverb outputs are patched into AUX RETURN 3. Even though you could send AUX RETURN 3 directly to the MAIN MIX (MAIN MIX TO SUBS switch up), you don't want to. Instead, engage the MAIN MIX TO SUBS switch and make sure the 12/34 switch is up. Now the reverb return will be blended into the drum submix, and as you ride those two faders, the reverb level will follow. Because if you had just sent the reverb directly to the MAIN MIX

(MAIN MIX TO SUBS switch up) and you did a drum fade-out using subgroup faders 1 and 2, the "dry" signals would fade out, but the "wet" signals would keep on singing. All you would hear is the drum reverb (the "wet"), and none of the original drum signals (the "dry"). That's because the reverb is being fed by the channel's AUX sends, and they have no idea that you've pulled down the subgroup faders. That's why we threw in these switches.
RETURNS SOLO
This switch operates just like the channel SOLO switches -- engaging it sends signals to the C-R OUTS, PHONES output and meter display and interrupts whatever happened to be there before you soloed. The only difference is that when you engage the RETURNS SOLO switch, it sends all four STEREO AUX RETURNS signals to the SOLO circuit. Hit that channel's SOLO switch, and you get the "dry" (no effects) snare only. [. . . ] If you carry enough equipment that you need to wire directly into the electrical service, then use a voltmeter to ensure that the line voltage is correct, then use the outlet tester mentioned in #3, above. Chances are that your 120V gear won't be too happy if it sees 220V for any length of time. Cables that are too long are less likely to pick up hum if you uncoil them in their entirety, and then find a place to stow the excess. Leaving the excess coiled only helps the cable pick up hum more efficiently. [. . . ]
