Question

Setting up a StudioLive 32S for my church. It is common for non-sound savvy folks to use the board on special occasions - usually to amp a few cordless mics. I would like to set up the Crowd Microphones to NOT be available channels in the Main Mix (for obvious reasons); but I still need to assign them so they can be mixed into the AUX and Matrix feeds. What would be the best way to do this? Thank you for your time.

Owner's Manual, Section 6.11.2: "When an input channel is selected, you can use these buttons to assign it to an output path. Press Main to send the selected channel output to the Main bus."

What you want is exactly the opposite of this. Simply deselect "Main" on the input channels of ambience microphones.
