48 Mix Mode 1
This mode of operation doubles the channel count of the 8424 console and
enables 48 separate mono DAW inputs to be mixed simultaneously. This
mode splits the console into two layers - The channel faders (I/P A) will
input DAW interface outputs 1-24 and the ST CUE bus uses Input (I/P C) to
input DAW interface outputs 25-48. Additional DAW outputs can be patched
from your audio interface and into Input C D-Type connectors at the rear of
the console.
To enter 48 MIX mode simply press the 48 MIX button in the console master
controls section. Pressing 48 MIX activates several routing options:
• All previous ST CUE ON switches, PRE/POST state and Input
selection (I/P C, I/P A) are overridden.
• All channel ST CUE inputs are set to I/P C.
• All ST CUE channel sends are switched ON.
• The SIP Solo system is linked to the ST CUE along with the channel
faders.
• CUE BUS is selected, routing the ST CUES to the Stereo Mix fader.
In 48 MIX mode, the Cue Master bus now becomes the master fader for all
I/P C DAW Interface Outputs 25-48. The Cue Master bus must be switched
ON by pressing the CUE master pot in the master section of the console.
Channels 1-24 ST CUE now become level and pan controls for DAW returns
25-48 (I/P C). These inputs run in-line alongside the DAW monitor returns 1-
24 (I/P A) which are controlled by the channel fader and pan at the bottom
of the channel strip.
The insert on the channel strip can be assigned to either A or C input by
selecting or deselecting the INSERT I/P C button.
To solo DAW returns 25-48, press the CUE level pot, this function now no
longer acts as an ON switch. In 48 MIX mode pressing the Cue level pot will
SOLO the signal and the ON LED will flash to indicate solo active.
Channels can be removed from 48 MIX mode on an individual basis one at a
time by pressing and holding the ST CUE PAN then pressing the ST CUE level
control simultaneously. When removed, the ST CUE will once again function
as a traditional Cue send.
Pressing 48 MIX a second time exits 48 MIX mode and the channel ST CUE
sends are switched off and Input C is de-selected. Any channel ST CUEs that
were individually removed from 48 MIX mode will remain on and function
as Cue sends.
As an alternative to the Cue Master bus, the cue outputs can be sent to
Group masters 3&4. This option gives a second pair of master faders for
DAW Interface outputs 25-48 which can be processed independently of
inputs 1-24. To send 25-48 to Groups 3 & 4 globally select MAST>CUE GRP
from the services screen.
