							SEND3 and SEND445
ProMix 01 User’s Guide
SEND3 and SEND4
SEND3 and SEND4 can be used to feed external effects processors, 
foldback amplifiers, or multitrack recording equipment. When used 
to feed an external effects processor, the processed signal can be 
returned via the stereo input channel or an unused input channel. 
Input channel and stereo input channels signals can be fed to SEND3 
and SEND4. 
The master send level is set using the RTN/SEND fader. When the 
SEND3 LCD function is selected, the RTN/SEND fader is automati-
cally set to SEND3. Likewise, when the SEND4 LCD function is 
selected, it is automatically set to SEND4. The RTN/SEND [SEL] but-
ton can also be used to select SEND3 and SEND4.
Shown below is the SEND3 LCD function. The SEND4 LCD function 
is essentially the same. A level meter for the send signal is on the right. 
The meter signal is sourced after the RTN/SEND fader. Ideally the 
level should be set relatively high and it’s OK to reach CLIP occasion-
ally. If CLIP is reached often, however, reduce the send level a little, 
otherwise signal distortion may occur. 
SEND3 and SEND4 Pre or Post
SEND3 and SEND4 can be configured pre-fader or post-fader, and 
the current setting is shown at the bottom right of the display. This 
setting affects all channels, so if SEND3 is set to PRE, all channel 
SEND3s are pre-fader. Initially, SEND3 and SEND4 are configured 
pre-fader, the usual setting for foldback sends. 
This setting can be toggled between PRE and POST by pressing 
[ENTER] or turning the PARAMETER wheel.
PRE — the send signal is sourced before the channel fader. So it’s 
unaffected by the normal channel fader. This means that the 
channel-to-mix and channel-to-foldback levels can be set indepen-
dently.
POST — the send signal is sourced after the channel fader. This 
means that the send signal is also affected by the normal channel 
fader. So you must have that fader raised as well. This setting is used 
mainly for effects sends. See “SEND1 and SEND2 Pre or Post” on 
page 32 for more details.
1. Press [SEND3] or [SEND4].
The SEND3 or SEND4 LCD 
function appears. 
The channel faders are now 
controlling channel-to-send 
levels and the RTN/SEND 
fader, the corresponding send 
(SEND3 or SEND4).
2. Raise the channel fader.
0dB is a good fader position 
to start with. You can always 
readjust later.
For post-fader sends you must 
set the normal fader too.
3. Raise the RTN/SEND fader.
The send signal is output and 
its level is metered on the LCD.

SEND3-4 Stereo Pair
SEND3 and SEND4 can be linked for use as a stereo pair. In this way 
they can, essentially, be used as another pair of stereo outputs, allow-
ing for another stereo mix to be set up. This is called SEND3-4 Stereo 
mode. Independent, or normal operation is called Mono mode. 
In Stereo mode, the SEND3 and SEND4 LCD functions are combined 
into the SEND3-4 LCD function. This LCD function can be selected 
by pressing either [SEND3] or [SEND4]. When either button is 
pressed, the RTN/SEND fader is automatically set to SEND3-4.
When set to Stereo, the following changes occur:
• For individual input channels, the SEND3 and SEND4 send level 
controls become a single send level control, and a SEND3-4 pan 
control appears (set to center) on the SEND3-4 PAN display.
• For stereo-pair input channels, the SEND3 and SEND4 send level 
controls become single send level controls, and a SEND3-4 pan 
control appears on the SEND3-4 PAN display. Odd channels are 
panned hard-left (i.e. to SEND3) and even channels are panned 
hard-right (i.e. to SEND4).
• For the stereo input channel, the left signal feeds SEND3 bus and 
the right signal feeds SEND4 bus. Levels are controlled together. 
A balance control appears on the SEND3-4 PAN display.
• SEND3 and SEND4 dynamics processor patches are cancelled.
• The SEND3-4 output comp patch point is set to the SEND3 set-
ting.
• The SEND3-4 fader level is set to the SEND3 setting.
• SEND3-4 ON/OFF and PRE/POST are set to the SEND3 settings.
Shown below is the SEND3, 4 CONFIGURATION LCD function that 
is used to select the Stereo and Mono modes. 
Shown below is the SEND3-4 LCD function. The right-arrow icon 
indicates that the SEND3-4 pan display is available to the right.1. Press [UTILITY].
The UTILITY menu appears.
2. Select SEND3, 4 CONFIGU-
RATION and press [ENTER].
The SEND3, 4 CONFIGURA-
TION LCD function appears.
3. To change the mode, press 
[ENTER] or use the PARAM-
ETER wheel.
4. Select the SEND3-4 MODE 
parameter, then press 
[ENTER] or use the PARAM-
ETER wheel to set it.
5. To exit this function and 
return to the UTILITY menu, 
select EXIT and press 
[ENTER], or just press [UTIL-
ITY].
The UTILITY menu reappears. 
						

							SEND3-4 Channel Pans & Balance47
ProMix 01 User’s Guide
SEND3-4 Channel Pans & Balance
In SEND3-4 Stereo mode, a SEND3-4 pan control is available on each 
input channel and a SEND3-4 balance control is available on the ste-
reo input channel (ST IN). These controls appear on the SEND3-4 
LCD function, shown below. After pressing either [SEND3] or 
[SEND4], press the [
¨] cursor button to access the SEND3-4 pan dis-
play. Alternatively, press the [SEND3] or [SEND4] button again. See 
“Pan and Balance” on page 26 for operation details. 
SEND3-4 Output Balance
In Stereo mode, the stereo SEND3-4 output balance can be set. This 
control appears on the PAN LCD function, shown below. This bal-
ance control operates the same as the stereo output balance control. 
See “Stereo Output Balance” on page 26 for more details.

SEND3-4 Block Diagram
This block diagram shows what happens when SEND3 and SEND4 
are configured as a stereo pair: Input channel SEND3 and SEND4 
controls become a single control, and a SEND3-4 pan control 
appears. On the stereo input channel, a SEND3-4 balance control 
appears. The left signal feeds SEND3 and the right signal feeds 
SEND4. Levels are controlled together. On the SEND3-4 outputs, a 
SEND3-4 output balance control appears. See “SEND3 and SEND4” 
on page 45 for more details.

About CUE 
ProMix 01 CUE provides comprehensive monitoring of virtually all 
inputs and outputs. The CUE signal is output to the MONITOR 
OUTPUT and PHONES. Output levels are controlled using the 
MONITOR OUT LEVEL control and PHONES LEVEL control, 
respectively.  
CUE Modes 
There are three CUE modes: MIX, LAST CUE, and ST FIX. The fol-
lowing table shows how they work in relation to the LCD functions.  
MIX  
 — this mode can be used only when the CUE LCD function is 
selected. When this mode is selected, the message “Select a channel 
to CUE” appears and the selected channel’s [SEL] button LED goes 
OFF. The [SEL] buttons can then be used to add channels to the CUE 
mix. Stereo-pair channels are cued together. This mode is equivalent 
to the CUE function on a conventional mixer.  
LAST CUE  
 — in this mode, the currently selected channel is cued. 
Stereo-pair channels are cued together. This mode is active when LCD 
functions other than GROUP are selected.   
ST FIX  
 — in this mode, CUE follows the main stereo output (i.e. it’s 
fixed to ST OUT). It is not affected when either the CUE or GROUP 
LCD function is selected. 
Group CUE 
When the GROUP LCD function is selected, you can listen to a 
post-fader mix of all channels in the selected group via CUE. This 
makes it easy to balance faders in a group. It works only when the CUE 
mode is set to MIX or LAST CUE, not when it’s set to ST FIX. When 
another LCD function is selected, CUE returns to normal operation.

Setting the CUE Mode 
CUE modes are set on the CUE LCD function, shown below. The 
name of the current CUE mode is highlighted. The PARAMETER 
wheel is used to select modes. When another mode is selected, its 
name flashes. If it is activated by pressing [ENTER], it stops flashing, 
appears highlighted, and becomes the current CUE mode.  
CUE Signal Sources 
The following table shows where the various CUE signals are sourced.
n/a: not applicable. 
CUE/2TR IN Switch 
This switch determines the signal source for the monitor output and 
phones. CUE selects the CUE bus; 2TR IN selects the 2 TR IN inputs. 
CUE is used for normal mixing operations. 2TR IN, for 2-track play-
back and confidence monitoring.

CUE LCD Function Info 
As well as being used to set the CUE mode, the CUE LCD function 
displays various information about the currently selected channel. 
The exact information shown depends on the type of channel 
selected. CUE displays for each type of channel are shown below.  
Input Channel 
This is the CUE LCD function when an input channel is selected.  
Stereo-Pair Input Channels 
This is the CUE LCD function when stereo-pair input channels are 
selected. It is, essentially, the same as the one above apart from the 
differences indicated. This example display also shows how the fader 
knob marker is filled when a fader is set at the 0dB position. Markers 
are also filled when faders are set at minimum ( 
¥ 
).
