What is the purpose of the Flip switch?
The 8 bus is an in-line mixer, which means that you are able to monitor playback through the same channels that you are using for tracking. If the flip switch is in the up position, the channel is monitoring the microphone and line input jacks. If the flip switch is in the down position, the channel is monitoring the program material in the like numbered tape return. When you are done tracking on a particular channel, simply engage that channel’s Flip switch and you will hear the playback off of the multi-track recorder. This is a benefit because it allows you to hear playback without confusing patch changes. This switch can be used in conjunction with Mix B to monitor as well, making use of Mix B’s source switch.
