Owner’s Manual
Safes
Important:
Safes are intended for emergency use only and are not to be confused with
scope (see Chapter 21 "Scope (Automation)" on page 193).
Safes are incorporated into the PRO6 to prevent certain controls from being recalled
with a scene. Safe activation and status are provided on both the control surface and
the GUI.
There are six types of channel safe: EQ, dynamic, mic, auto, mute and fader. Although
some types of safe are channel-specific, any channel can be made safe from off-channel
mute, fader and automation control. Also, solo (for monitor areas A and B) is always
out of scene on any channel.
Table 10: Channel and group safe areas
All of the channel safe areas, except MIC safe, have local LED status indication on the
control surface.
In/out safe status is provided in each channel/group fast strip and in the safes sections
of the overview and processing area displays of the GUI channel strip.
Selection (channels only) is via GUI only.
