Example 1 - 8 I/O Audio AD/DA Interface 1
An 8 in 8 out AD/DA audio interface will allow for 8 DAW Interface Outputs patched into 8 channel inputs via Input
A, as well as 8 mix outputs from the console such as main Left and Right Stereo Mix, Group 1-4 outputs and 2x Direct
Outputs either from the 1073 outputs or D.I channels 19-20 direct outputs. The remaining console channels can be
used as recording inputs via Input B which can be mixed through the master section along with the DAW returns and
recorded back into the DAW. This simple setup will allow mixing of 8 mono or 4x stereo pairs of groups or individual
DAW signals through the consoles master section and recorded back into the DAW from the Stereo mix bus or group
outputs, benefiting from any channel inserts, 500 series or master section processing. The outputs from the 1073
preamps or the DI channels can also be patched directly into the interface to be recorded by the DAW.
16 I/O Audio AD/DA Interface 1
A 16 in 16 out AD/DA audio interface will allow for 16 DAW returns into 16 channel inputs via Input A, as well as 8
mix outputs from the console such as main Left and Right Stereo Mix, Group 1-4 outputs and 2x direct outputs either
from the 1073 outputs or D.I channels 19-20 direct outputs, plus 8x direct outputs from any selected channel. The
remaining console channels can be used as recording inputs via Input B which can be mixed through the master
section along with the DAW returns and recorded back into the DAW or sent as pre/post fader stems via the channel
Direct Outputs. This setup will allow mixing of up to 16 DAW channels along with any live instruments patched into
the console via channel Input B through the consoles master section. The overdub inputs can be recorded into the
DAW from the mix bus or group outputs, benefiting from any channel inserts, 500 series or master section
processing. 8 stem tracks can also be sent directly from the Input B channels via the channel Direct Outputs. The
outputs from the 1073 preamps or the D.I channels can also be patched directly into the interface to be recorded by
the DAW.
32 I/O Audio AD/DA Interface 1
A 32 in 32 out AD/DA audio interface allows for full functionality of the 8424 console. with this setup, 24 DAW
returns can be patched into all channel inputs via Input A, and a further 8 can be patched into Input C. This enables
simultaneous summing of up to 32 individual audio channels through the console using 48 MIX mode. (a 48-output
interface is required to use all 48 summing inputs). The 8 mix outputs from the console such as main Left and Right
Stereo Mix, Group 1-4 outputs and 2x direct outputs from the 1073 outputs can be patched into the interface. The
direct outputs from the consoles full 24 channels can now be patched into the audio interface giving full functionality
as an In-line mixing and recording console. This flexible setup allows every channel to be used as either Input A DAW
returns or Input B recording inputs. Users can record, mix and overdub through any of the consoles 24 channels. A
choice of mixing methods is now available, such as creating individual DAW stems from any of the consoles 24
channels or using a multitude of mix bus paths to mix audio through the console surface and back into the DAW.
Input C can be used to return additional DAW signals through the channel ST CUE bus.
