Those mixers I've used that had stereo linking all had width controls so you can blend some of the left into the right and vis versa.

I have my external audio source running into 2 channels that I have now linked. I don't think that I had realized that the audio source L & R were now flattened to a MONO mix. If that is true, that's not gonna work for me either. :o

That is not the case, if you link two channels they become a stereo pair, the input of the lower numbered channel feeds the left main output and the higher numbered channel feeds the right main output. As RR says the pan control does become a balance control as opposed to 'width'.

PFEW! For a minute I thought I had this totally wrong.

Select each aux "layer" and press the "Pre Fader" button to drop down a menu - unselect "Use LR Mute" :) .

Sweet. Thanks RR.

which exactly the implementation of channel linking that I hoped for. My primary application is stereo playback from an external device.

So to dubunk some earlier quote, it's not a MONO pair, it's STEREO IN STEREO OUT with a common eq. Fine by me! :D

Just to verify, my understanding is that all the 1/4" aux sends coming out of the board are balanced TRS connectors, right?
