[QUOTE]That means you have the "post" button pushed down, and the send is now acting like an effects send, and NOT a monitor. Mackie gives you a choice. Monitor sends should not follow the EQ. It only causes trouble with feedback. Check your panel for the pre/post button.
Dave I agree you do not want your chanel EQ settings to go to the monitor and let me repeat my sub set-up. I use the Effect 2 send for the Sub reason: when I raise or lower volume (Chanel Fader only)it will contol mains and sub together.
Let me Quote the 1202-VLZ Pro Mackie Manual:
"With the AUX 1 SELECT switch up (disengaged), AUX SEND 1 will tap a Channel pre-fader (GAIN) and pre-MUTE/ALT 3-4, meaning that no matter how you manipulate those controls as they feed the MAIN MIX, the AUX SEND will continue to belt out that channel's signal. This is the preferred method for setting up stage monitor feeds. EQ settings will affect all AUX SENDs.
With the switch down, the AUX SEND 1 becomes an ordinary effects send --post-fader (GAIN) and post-MUTE/ALT 3-4. This is a must for effects sends, since you want the levels of your "wet" signals to follow the level of the "dry".
You will notice they refer to PRE-FADER not PRE -EFFECTS. ALSO NOTE "EQ settings will affect all AUX SENDS". I tried this just before I wrote this! This is the way it works.
