K-MIX HARDWARE

• All three of the Aux modes are completely disabled when panning in surround; the aux channel
levels instead link to the Mains level to ensure even output levels across all channels.
• Input channel aux sends are ignored when Surround Panning Mode is enabled.
• The effects (compressor, gate, EQ) on the main output bus (outputs 1 & 2) are automatically
bypassed when surround is enabled. They will return to their original state when you return to
stereo panning.
• If you are using a surround format that does not utilize all eight output channels (Quad, 5.1, or 7.1),
the leftover outputs will be unused.
4.2.14.5 – BASS MANAGEMENT CROSSOVER
K-Mix provides an optional low frequency crossover when using Surround Panning Mode, called “Bass
Management”. When bass management is enabled, all low frequency audio content will be routed out
the headphone jack; higher frequency content will go out outputs 1–8 as normal. When disabled, all
audio, regardless of frequency, will be routed out outputs 1–8.
• When both Surround Panning Mode and Bass Management are enabled, the headphone output
can no longer be used for monitoring input and output channels; it is solely dedicated to the low
frequency content.
4.2.14.6 – EDITOR-ONLY PARAMETERS
Surround Panning Mode has a number of parameters that may only be changed from the K-Mix Editor
software and are inaccessible from the K-Mix hardware.
The following parameters are editor-only:
• Speaker Layout
• Bass Management On/Off
• Bass Management Crossover Frequency
• Surround Panner Assignment
Bass Management’s on/off state and crossover frequency may only be altered via the
K-Mix Editor. It cannot be accessed via the K-Mix hardware.
