5.0 Multitrack Summing Busses, Trims, Signal Flow, and Patch Points
5.1 Multitrack Summing Busses
There are twenty-four (24) Multitrack Summing Busses:
•
1-24
Multitrack Summing Busses 1-24 may be fed from:
•
Fader 1 output
•
Fader 2 output
NOTE: The Multitrack Summing Busses cannot be accessed from both channel audio paths
(Fader 1 and Fader 2) simultaneously.
Multitrack Summing Busses 1-8 may also be fed from Stereo Aux Sends 9/10.
NOTE: When Aux Sends 9/10 are routed to the Multitrack Summing Busses, the feed to
Auxiliary Bus 9/10 from that channel is defeated.
Multitrack Summing Bus assignments may be made:
•
Locally on the 16-channel Output Assignment module (1-48 buttons)
•
Via the recall system
Each of the Multitrack Summing Bus assignments feeds its respective Multitrack Summing Bus.
The output of these Busses is fed to the corresponding Bus Trim module in the Center Section.
NOTE: A multitrack recorder may alternately be fed from the channel Direct Outputs by
patching the DIRECT OUT patch points to the desired multitrack recorder input
interface.
5.2
Multitrack Output Trim Module
Each Multitrack Summing Bus has an Output Trim just before the BUS OUTPUT patch points.
The Multitrack Output Trims are located in the Center Section.
Controls for the Multitrack Output Trims are as follows:
The output of the Bus Trim modules feed the BUS OUT patch points. These patch points are half-
normalled to the MULTITRACK IN patch points.
The output of the BUS OUTPUT patch points are split via normals in the patch bay to feed the
MULTITRACK IN patch points. BUS OUTPOUT 1 feeds MULTITRACK IN 1, 25, 49, and so on. This
is reflected in the labeling of the bus assignment buttons and the Bus Trim On/Off switch. The
MULTITRACK IN patch points provide a feed to the multitrack recorder.
1/25 – 24/48 (On/Off switch): Activates Multitrack Outputs 1-24 (1/25-24/48)
•
A green LED indicator illuminates when engaged
TRIM: Sets the amount of trim (attenuation) for the Multitrack Output
•
-
∞
to 0 dB range
•
0 dB is unity gain
•
-
∞
is full attenuation
