30 BRIO 36
Audio Production System with Optional Networking
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
INPUTS, OUTPUTS AND BUSES
Path is a term used to represent an audio signals route through a DSP process within the Brio 36 system, which
carries audio and enables it to be processed. Paths include channels, groups, mains and auxes.
All paths can be controlled by faders and channel paths must be attached to faders to exist.
Identifying Paths
Paths can be identified easily on the surface; they are colour-coded as follows:
Channels - black background - white label, Groups - blue background - white label ,
Mains - red background - white label and Auxes - green background - white label.
Inputs
Input Channels
Input channels take audio signals into the mixing console for processing, mixing and onward routing.
Input signals can be patched directly to channels from built-in or expansion slot I/O, or from external I/O boxes connected
via the optional Hydra2 module, Hydra patchbay outputs or directly from Brio’s own output buses.
Any signal present at an input port must be connected to a channel path before it can be processed and routed.
