Chapter 8: Inputs and Input Routing

Routing Input Channels
Input Channels and FX Returns can be routed to the Mains,
Groups, Auxes, and Matrixes (as well as being assigned to
VCAs). This chapter shows how to route inputs using the con-
trols available in the Input section and ACS.
Routing Channels to the Mains and
Groups Busses
Input Channels and FX Returns can be routed to the Mains
and Groups busses using the Bus Assigns section of the ACS.
To route a channel to Mains and Groups busses:
1
Target the channel by pressing its Select switch.
2
Do any of the following:
• To route to Mains, press the L–R (left and right) and/or
C/Mono (center/mono) switch in the Bus Assigns section so
that is lit.
• To route to a Group bus, press a Groups 1–8 switch.
The L–R and C/M LEDs on the channel light to indicate its
routing to the corresponding bus.
To route multiple channels to Mains and Groups busses:
1
Target the first channel you want to route by pressing its
Select switch.
2
Press and hold the Multi-Select switch (located to the left of
the input faders), then press the Select switches on the other
channels you want to route to the Main busses.
3
In the Bus Assigns section, press the Bus Assign L–R (left and
right), C/Mono (center/mono) and Group 1–8 switches to
route the selected channels to those busses.
The L–R, C/M and 1–8 Bus Assign LEDs on each channel light
to indicate routing to the corresponding busses.
Configuring Mains and Groups Busses
The Main busses can be configured to operate as L–R plus
Mono (Left–Right stereo plus a Mono channel), or as L–C–R
(Left–Center–Right). See “Configuring the Main Busses” on
page 73.
VENUE SC48 has 8 Group busses that can be configured to be
mono or stereo as part of the overall Aux/Group bus configu-
ration. For more information on configuring Group busses,
see “Configuring Aux and Group Busses” on page 74. For
more information on using Group busses, see Chapter 10,
“Groups.”
Routing Channels to Aux Sends
Input Channels and FX Returns can be routed to Aux sends us-
ing the input encoders, or using the Channel Control section.
To route channels to Aux sends using the input encoders:
1
To access Aux Sends on the input channel encoders, press an
Encoder assign Aux Sends switch 1–2 through 15–16.
• The first press of an Aux Send switch assigns level control
of the odd-numbered send to the encoders. The switch
lights green to indicate an odd-numbered selection.
• The second press of an Aux Send switch assigns level con-
trol of the even-numbered send to the encoders. The
switch lights yellow to indicate an even-numbered selec-
tion.
2
For each channel you want to assign to the selected Aux
Send bus, press its channel encoder so that its “On” indicator
LED lights.
3
To set the Aux Send level, do either of the following:
• Turn the encoder on each channel.
• Press the Flip to Faders switch, then adjust the channel
fader.
To route channels to Aux Sends busses using the Channel
Control section:
1
Target the first channel you want to route by pressing its Se-
lect switch.
2
Press and hold the Multi-Select switch next to the input fad-
ers, then press the Select switches on the other channels you
want to route to the Auxes.
You can also configure signal routing from the Output sec-
tion. See Chapter 9, “Outputs and Output Routing.”
