NOTE 
The buss master controls on a slave unit have 
no effect on the levels of cascaded busses. 
However, the individual slave controls may be 
used to control the level of the  
STEREO OUT 
, 
the first four Aux sends and the PFL busses 
from the slave units, but this will have no 
effect on the overall summed level of the Aux 
send or stereo buss, etc.
See the diagram below for details of the buss 
summing and fader controls available for  
these cascaded busses....

that a PFL signal is currently being monitored. The 
indicators will go out (and monitoring will revert to 
the monitor source selected on the master unit) when 
all PFL solos are cleared on all cascaded units.
