134 Chapter 11: Panning
PRO Series Live Audio Systems
Owner’s Manual
Input of pre-recorded surround material is possible from the direct inputs to the six
matrix buses (with no panning available).
No fold down facilities are implemented for externally inputted surround material.
However, a stereo mix can be monitored by switching the monitor section back to
operate in stereo mode sourced from the stereo masters rather than the six surround
matrix modules. This requires an identical stereo mix to be built at the same time the
surround mix is generated, which is normal practice.
When monitoring in surround formats the monitor centre and sub speakers are muted
via the assignable stereo output mutes, while the front and surround speakers are
muted via the A and B monitor mutes.
In normal stereo mode, two assignable outputs — typically the main stereo left and
right — can be patched to the centre and sub XLRs to free up eight bay modules I/O.
>> To select a surround panning mode
1 At the GUI, choose homePreferencesGeneral.
2 Under the Surround Mode heading, click your chosen
surround mode. For example, “5.1”. The currently selected
mode contains a red circle.
About the controls in surround mode
When the PRO Series is configured to operate in one of the surround panning modes,
the spatial diagram that appears in the GUI channel strip gives you a visual
representation of the sound image in relation to the speakers (as viewed from above).
An example of each surround panning mode, as displayed in the GUI channel strip.
Although the example shows input channels, this is typically the same for the outputs.
