Q: I read the 2 pan switches allow the user to place channels 1 and 2 in monaural (center), or hard left (ch1) or hard right (ch2), but, could you give us practical uses examples for the 2 pan switches , that is to say, in what case would we need to use them?
A: For signals meant to be in the middle of the stereo spectrum. It saves the user from having to bus a mono centered signal to a stereo out just to keep it in the middle. For example you may want to keep a lead vocal and the bass in the middle of your mix, you would then flip the switch to (C) center.
