Surround and Stereo Main Outputs
Each main output can be pre-set to be
either surround or stereo. Surround mains
are 5.1 plus a rear downmix to allow a
simultaneous LCRS. There is also a stereo
downmix and a mono downmix (potentially
10 outputs for each surround main).
The insert and direct input are also
surround.
If a surround main is routed to a stereo
main, the stereo downmix will be routed.
Main Meters
The main output meters display the stereo
downmix if the output is surround. If the
main line monitor is set to be fed back
from the studio distribution via external
inputs to the desk, then the meters will
display this instead.
