Mix Engines
The Mix Engine setting is determined by the number of DSP
Engine Cards detected and cannot be changed. VENUE SC48
comes supplied with two Mix Engines.
Channels
Choose the total number of Input Channels you need. This
number represents mono channels; each stereo channel uses
two mono channels.
You can configure the VENUE SC48 to use 16, 24, 32, or 48 In-
put Channels.
Choosing a lower number of Input Channels leaves more DSP
for plug-ins; choosing a higher number reduces the amount of
DSP available for plug-ins.
FX Returns
Choose the number of FX Return channels you need. On
VENUE SC48 the number of FW Returns is pre-configured to 8
stereo FX Return channels, and cannot be changed.
Graphic EQs
Choose the number of Graphic EQs you will need for output
processing. You can choose to have 0, 8, 16, or 24 Graphic
EQs. Choosing a lower number leaves more DSP for plug-ins;
choosing a higher number reduces the amount of DSP avail-
able for plug-ins.
DSPs Available for Plug-Ins
The amount of DSP available for plug-ins depends on your
other System Config settings, and cannot be changed directly.
To change the amount of DSP available for plug-ins, reduce
the number of Input Channels or Graphic EQs.
