Reference Guide V1.5.0
Tie lines allow you to pass audio directly from any available input source to one or
multiple outputs and have many applications including:
• Sending unprocessed (post socket analogue preamp) audio whilst simultaneously
sending processed audio from the direct out (such as when multitrack recording
and using a ME personal monitoring system at the same time).
• Setting up digital splits for front of house and monitor or broadcast setups.
• Sending an ambient microphone (not required in any mix) to USB or option card
for recording without using up an input channel.
 To protect preamp settings for sockets not assigned to input channels on scene
changes, block ‘Tie Line Only Preamps’ in Global or Scene recall filters.
6.8 Socket Control
Touching a socket number at the top of the patching matrix opens the socket control
pop-up with the following options for connected local or expander sockets.
Analogue input = 48V, Pad and Gain
AES input = SRC Bypass option
