How do you get 12 stereo mixes from an M7?

The M7 allows you to route directly from a channel to the matrix. 16 auxes plus 8 matrices equals 12 stereo mixes. You can actually do 13 if you include the stereo bus although I don't know if you can route to matrix prefaced so I might be wrong about that.

Well, there you go, I learnt a new trick! I guess the extra outputs need an 8 out card, is a cue output still possible?

16 aux mixes and 8 matrix mixes that are available in sends on faders.

yeah, you'll need some kind of card in one of the slots to get the extra 8 outputs out of the desk.  and yes you can still do Cue, but you'll need to route that out of something else as well.

of course, the card slots give you 16 outs so there's plenty of capability there....

the M7 with sends on faders does make a really nice monitor desk.  very intuitive and easy to use.

This all good to know!
I had an M7 for monitors for a national a while back and I thought I had it maxxed out. 10 sends of wedges, 2 stereo ears, fx for ears, and cue out. I squeezed it all in but it's always nice to have something up your sleeve for the unexpected requests.

We replaced a venerable analog Soundcraft GB8-40 board with an M32.

There is only one thing we could do on the GB8 that was very convenient that we cannot figure out how to do quickly on the M32:

 Each channel strip on the GB8 has a "PFL" button, when pressed the channel audio is the only thing you hear in the headset monitor feed. Note on the GB8, the headset is separate from the stage monitor output (not on Matrix 1).

We use the M32 Monitor output for the main stage monitors off bus 1. How can we get this quick audio preview function in an M32?

Note: we can SEE the VU meter by hitting SEL on any input channel on the board or in the app, but we can't HEAR the selected channel audio alone. Is there a way to use the Solo function for this?

Thanks, Mark  Sound @ C3HUU

Solo button takes care of this.

When you say “We use the M32 Monitor output for the main stage monitors off bus 1.” Do you mean that you are using the connectors on the back of the mixer labeled “Monitor/Control room out” that is right next to the lamp socket? If you are that is not the place to feed a stage monitor from. Are you using all of the out 1-16 XLR connectors for something else?

“ How can we get this quick audio preview function in an M32?”
You get it by plugging in headphones into one of the ¼”TRS connectors under the arm rest and hitting “SOLO” on whatever it is you want to preview. There are a lot of options under the “Monitor” Button next to the screen that will change the way the way that soloing something behaves. It is very sophisticated as to the flexibility of operation

There is also a solo clear button “CLR SOLO” that will light when a solo is selected and hitting it will clear all feeds to the solo bus. It is above the L/R fader. This is real handy since you might have something soloed on a lower layer and it is a very quick way to clear anything soloed to the headphones.

Mark -

Go to the "MONITOR" screen and select the "EXCLUSIVE" option. This will present only the last solo button you push.  If you wish to solo more than one channel at a time, select that option (or none...), and clear the previously soloed channels to hear only the last one.

@Tim Tyler, @Kevin Maxwell, & @Scott Holtzman thank you all!  Got it working and reconfiguring stage monitors.
