Input/Output Matrix Router
- Any input can be routed to any or all outputs.
Click and drag from the input to output to assign routing. For faster routing of a single
input or output to multiple channels, highlight its node and then press Ctrl+Click over
the desired nodes to connect to. To delete a route or clear the matrix, right click on
the routing line or node. Also, right click anywhere in the matrix area to bring up a
menu of common routing choices.
Matrix Mixer and Auto Mixer
Matrix Mixer
nX amplifiers use the Matrix-Mixer to adjust the level of an input channel source to a routed output, typically at unity gain.
Inputs must be routed to an output channel using the Matrix Router (see previous section), then must be mixed using that output
channel's Matrix Mixer, either manually or with the Automixer. Practical use of the Auto-Mixer is minimal on nX amplifiers
since there are only two or four input channels and no on-board mic preamps. Nevertheless, a description of all features follows:
Matrix Mixer/Auto Mixer Controls and Indicators
Input Name -
An editable text label for the user to
identify the name of the input signal. This is the same text
label as shown on the inputs in the DSP Controls window.
Route Enable checkbox -
Selected to make the mixer
input signal connection. Checking or unchecking this box has
the same affect as dragging or deleting the signal routing lines
in the DSP Controls window matrix mixer.
Mute Button -
Mutes the input signal before the auto/
manual mixer.
This does not light the front panel Mute LED
.
Auto Button -
Selects the mixer input channel as an
automixer channel when pressed in, versus a manual mixer
channel when pressed-out. Manual and automixer channels
both get summed into the output mix, however the manual
channels operate independently and do not participate in the
automatic mixing operation.
Fader Control -
Adjusts the mixer input level for
an automatic or manual mixer channel before any automatic
mixing takes place.
Level Meter -
Displays the input signal level
prior
to the fader control or automixing attenuation. This meter is
a peak-responding signal level meter.
Duck Indicator -
Displays when the input channel is being ducked (attenuated) by the ducker function. This indicator
is only visible when ducking is enabled at the mixer.
Auto Meter -
Displays the automixer's attenuation applied to the signal before mixer summing.
Channel Gain Value -
Shows the total decibel gain applied to the input channel which is combined from the mixer
fader control and any remote level controls assigned to the matrix mixer. This gain value does not include the automixer gain
value, and is applied to the signal before the automixer.
Link Group -
Allows multiple output mixers to be linked such that any control change made to one mixer will make
an identical control change to any other mixer assigned to the same link group. The Route Enable control
does not
get linked
however, in order to maintain separate channel routing when controlling a stereo mix.
