Operating Your MX36: Working with Failover and Redundancy
The MX36 is capable of operating with up to 3 levels of redundancy on any of the three main
quad channel input sets. There are therefore 36 channels available (3 x source type x 4
channels x 3 sets = 36).
The priority of the input sources is chosen for each set using the Input Source / Backup keys
for each of banks A, B & C. Analogue is always the lowest priority - your “if all else fails”
option. If a Dante subscription is removed or the network is lost, the MX36 will switch to the
backup (normally AES). If AES is lost then the MX36 will switch to the Analogue (on a 4
channel basis to maintain latency timings).
Working in this full redundancy/failover mode, the MX36 will handle three sets x four
channels (typically Left, Right, Front Fill, Sub).
Not all consoles will provide all three source types, so the Input Source Priority should be set
accordingly — if only Analogue and AES is available then the typical setting would be Primary =
AES and Backup = Analogue.
If only a single source type is available then redundancy can simply be switched off — for
example, if only AES is available then Primary = AES and Backup = OFF.
