Mix Rack Features
The Mix Rack provides all stage and mix position I/O for
VENUE Mix Rack systems.
Stage I/O
• 48 inputs with mic preamps. Each fully recallable input
provides phantom power and input gain.
• 16 line level analog outputs (expandable up to 32) to
connect to mains and monitors.
FOH I/O
• 8 pairs of analog I/O for hardware inserts, or for input
and output of line-level material from the mix position.
• Analog and digital (AES or S/PDIF) 2-Track inputs and
outputs.
• Com mic input, with gain control and phantom power.
• Monitor outputs for mix position near field monitors.
Synchronization and Control I/O
• MIDI In and Out ports, providing 16 channels of MIDI
input and 16 channels of MIDI output.
• Word clock I/O for digital clock synchronization.
• USB 2.0 ports for USB disks, iLoks, and other USB devices.
• 100 BaseT Ethernet (ECx) port for remote control.
CPU, DSP, and System Drives
Mix Rack houses the CPU, DSP, hard drive and CD-ROM drive
that run the VENUE D-Show software on your VENUE system.
System software is installed at the factory. The CD-ROM drive
lets you update or restore your system software, and install
compatible plug-ins from their installer discs. A standard
Mix Rack includes two Mix Engine cards providing DSP for
plug-ins. You can add one additional Mix Engine card, for a
maximum of three.
Redundant Power Supply Units (PSUs)
Each Mix Rack comes with two universal (100V to 240V nom-
inal, 50–60 Hz) PSUs with auto redundant failover and LED
status indication.
