Euphonix Max Air Mixing Console Operation Manual
Channels and StripsChapter 5:
Strips5.1
A CM416 module contains sixteen identical strips. The strip is the physical control area
on the console that contains keys, knobs, displays, and a fader. A Channel performs
all of the signal processing (EQ, dynamics, routing, gain, etc.). Max Air has up to 194
channels, each of which may be assigned to a strip. A strip has room for Swap and Main
channels that can be switched with one key press. Max Air allows tremendous exibility
with how strips are assigned channels and how they are controlled:
Any channel can be assigned to any strip; assignments need not be consecutive.•
Channels with related functions, such as all VTRs, can be assigned to neighboring •
strips.
Two strips can control one channel, allowing convenient access to that channel •
from two locations.
Channel-to-strip assignments can be named, stored, and recalled as • Layouts (see
Layouts on page 157).
Channel settings (EQ, dynamics, routing, gain, etc.) can be named, stored, and •
recalled as Snapshots (see Snapshots on page 159).
Max Air channels are mono unless they are dened as stereo, LCRS, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 •
formats through Multi Format Masters (see Chapter 8: Control Groups and Multi
Format Masters).
A 96-channel, 48-strip conguration could assign all channels to the control surface:
Main (channels 1–48 to strips 1–48); Swap (channels 49–96 to strips 1–48). A 96-chan-
nel, 32-strip Max Air conguration cannot assign all channels to the console at once but
could use two Layouts to easily interchange the channels. Figure 5-1 shows a strip with
its bus displays that appear on the surface above the channel, and block diagrams for the
Swap and Main channels.
NOTE: The term “active channel” will be used throughout the manual to refer to the
Main or Swap channel currently assigned to the fader.
