Chapter 8: Outputs and Output Routing
This chapter shows how to do the following:
• Configure and name Mains, outputs and busses
• Assign outputs and busses to hardware outputs in the
Patchbay
• Route outputs to Mains, Groups, Aux Sends, and Matrix
mixers
• Using plug-in inserts, and using Graphic EQ on outputs
• Assign and route Direct Outputs
• Adjust output channel parameters
•Use VCAs
Configuring Outputs
The following types of output busses are available: Mains,
Groups (or Variable Groups), Auxes, Matrix mixers, and
Personal Qs.
Mains
The Main busses can be configured in L–R+M or L–C–R for-
mats. The Main busses are controlled from the dedicated
Mains controls and fader in the Output section.
Configuring the Main Busses
The Main busses can be configured to operate as either:
L–R plus Mono Pans signals between the left and right chan-
nels to the L–R bus, and sums signals to a separate mono bus.
L–C–R Pans signals across left, center and right channels.
To configure the Main busses:
1 Put the system into Config mode.
2 Go to the Options page and click the System tab.
3 Click Edit.
4 Select the configuration for the Main Busses.
5 Click Apply. The system restarts with the new Main bus con-
figuration.
Groups
Eight Group busses are available. These Group busses can be
globally configured to be mono or stereo as part of the system
Aux/Group bus configuration. See “Configuring Aux, Group,
and Variable Group Busses” on page 78.
Group outputs can be controlled from the faders and encoders
in the Output section.
Auxes
Up to 16 Aux busses are available. The number of available
Aux busses is set as part of the system Aux/Group bus config-
uration. See “Configuring Aux, Group, and Variable Group
Busses” on page 78.
Aux bus outputs can be controlled from the Output faders.
Variable Groups
When the system is in Variable Groups mode, the 8 Group
busses operate in much the same way as Aux busses.
When set to Variable Groups mode, the Output section has 16
available Aux busses and 8 available Variable Group busses,
letting you send independently controllable signals to all 24
busses in the system.
Variable Groups mode is set as part of the system Aux/Group
bus configuration. See “Configuring Aux, Group, and Variable
Group Busses” on page 78.
Audio may be interrupted or may change levels during this
configuration procedure.
Setting the Main bus configuration
See Chapter 9, “Groups.”
For more information, see Chapter 10, “Aux Sends and
Variable Groups.”
