Using Aux Busses

You can assign any input signal to two Aux bussses, Aux 1 and Aux2. For each Aux signal coming from a fader channel you can change the following settings.

Additionally, you can change the overall gain for each Aux bus independently.

[Important]Important

When you change the Aux settings for any fader channel, you are actually changingAux settings for the input channel currently assigned to it. Any input channel keeps its Aux settings, even if it is not currently assigned to any fader channel. Thus you can safely change the input signal of a fader channel without loosing the Aux settings of the input channel you just removed from the fader channel. However, if you remove an input signal from a fader channel, its Aux signal is also removed from the Aux busses! If you then assign this input channel to any other fader channel, it will have the preserved Aux settings and will be routed to the Aux busses again.

The following table explains how you set the different options for Aux signals. If you are using the RM2200D software and a fader channel is selected, the Full Screen Display will reflect your changes in the section Busses. You can also use the software to change the settings from the PC.

To change this…Do this…
Assign a fader channel signal to an Aux bus / Remove a fader channel from an Aux bus.Use Reverse Function Select for the desired fader channel:

  1. Make sure all Select keys on all fader channels are inactive.

  2. Press and hold the Aux 1 or Aux 2 key on the Master Control Module . The Select LED will lit up on all fader channels currently routed to the Aux bus.

  3. Press the Select key in the desired fader channel to assign or remove this signal from the Aux bus. The two LEDs Aux 1 and Aux 2 show the current Aux bus assignment of each fader channel.

Change the Aux Gain value for a fader channel Aux signal.

  1. Press the Select key on the desired fader channel.

  2. Press the Aux 1 or Aux 2 key on the Master Control Module to select the desired Aux bus.

  3. Use the Control Knob to change the Gain setting to the desired value. The display shows the currently selected value in dB and the current Aux signal mode. If you set the value below -60 dB, the display changes to -oo and the Aux signal is switched off. The Aux LED in the fader channel also goes off.

  4. Press the Select key again to deactivate it.

Change the Aux signal mode.

  1. Press the Select key on the desired fader channel.

  2. Press the Aux 1 or Aux 2 key twice on the Master Control Module to select the secondary function of the desired Aux bus. The display will show the currently selected Aux signal mode.

  3. Turn the Control Knob to select the desired mode:

    • Pre Fader (Display shows “P” when changing the Aux gain). The signal is routed to the Aux bus before the fader affects its volume.

    • After Fader (Display shows “A” when changing the Aux gain.). The signal is routed to the Aux bus after the fader affects its volume. The Aux volume changes according to the fader movement.

    • Pre Switch (Display shows “S” when changing the Aux gain). The signal is routed to the Aux bus before the fader, as long as the fader is closed. If you open the fader, the Aux signal is muted.

  4. Press the Select key again to deactivate it.

Change the overall Aux Gain value for Aux 1 bus or Aux 2 bus.

  1. Make sure all Select keys on all fader channels are inactive.

  2. Press and hold the Aux 1 or Aux 2 key. The display shows the current gain value for the selected Aux bus.

  3. Use the Control Knob to change the Aux bus gain between 0 dB an -60 dB. To switch the Aux bus off completely, set the value below -60 dB. The display will then show OFF.

  4. Release the Aux 1 or Aux 2 key.
