can be used in a mono mode where both channels are mixed.  If you want to do eight channels of mono, you can put the channels in stereo mode (I know it feels backwards) and then use the pan control to control the crossfade between each channel, and then take the mono output.  There is a built in cueing system so you can monitor channels in your headphones and control the blend with the main output.  You can expand a Bartender with both a Barback and\/or another Bartender.  When connecting two Bartenders, the main level control on the 'expander' Bartender acts as a group control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMixer section\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach channel has the
