48 BUS Mod & DFA
Studio Speakers and Foldback
The 48-Bus Mod provides an extra set of Multi-
track Bus Outputs, forming Multi-track Buses 25-48.
Where the first 24 channels of the console have
access to buses 1-24, and subsequent channels
have access to 25-48. Buses 25-48 do not have
access to bus master trims and so exit the console
at unity gain. It is also worth noting that the Stereo
EFX Inputs are only routable to buses 1-24.
With the Bus Mod installed, the console can be
operated in two modes, Bus Split and Bus Link:
In Bus Split mode, channels 1-24 can access Multi-
track buses 1-24, whilst channels 25+ can access
25-48, providing up to 48 discrete outputs from the
console.
In Bus Link mode, the 25-48 combiners are summed
into the original 1-24 Multi-track buses to provide
standard 24-bus operation across the entire
console.
When no Bus Mod option is installed, the Bus Link
switch becomes a handy DFA button for those all
important production decisions...
