Hi all,

We have a new(ish) Soundcraft Si Expression 1 board at our church and I'm having a problem with the monitor 1 (mix 1) going into our mains (Main L&R). When I bring up the Mix 1 overall fader it brings up the overall level of the mains as well, no matter what level I have the mains at (except when the Main fader is off). Almost as if there's a setting that is compounding the mix 1 level on top of the mains so that the monitors aren't louder than the mains? Can anyone help with this?

Thanks,

Lotus.

Maybe your Mix 1 output is accidentally assigned to L/R? When you select Mix 1 is the LR button in ACS section illuminated?

I'll have to check. Thanks!

You might want to clear the mix, then rebuild the mix to the monitor(s) being specific with the output assigned. I generally use mix 6-10 for monitors and assign the output to 6-10. Pressing the mix button for the mix then selects the mix I wish to work and without looking I also know what output is being used.
