INPUT SIGNAL FLOW – STEREO CHANNEL
External Inputs
• External inputs take signals into Brio 36 from it’s own Input ports, other I/O box input ports, Hydra patchbay outputs
or Brio’s own output ports, and make them available for monitoring and metering.
External Tone Input
• Patching a third party tone generator to the external tone input allows the external tone to be used as the tone source
across the console, rather than the internal oscillator.
Talkback Input
• Patching to the talkback input allows any microphone connected to any of its own Input ports or other I/O box input
ports to be used as the talkback source. The built-in talkback microphone connects to Brio’s internal I/O and may
then patched to the talkback input in order to be used.
Buses
Groups
• Multiple channel Inputs can be sub-mixed by routing them to groups.
• Groups can be processed.
• Groups can be routed to any other output or bus.
• Groups are not available for patching, but can have direct outputs and mix-minus outputs made available to them.
AFL
• When paths are AFL’d the console monitor feed is replaced by the AFL bus, providing a non-destructive solo.
• The after fader level signals from multiple paths can be sub-mixed by routing them to the AFL bus.
PFL
• When paths are PFL’d the PFL bus outputs a pre-fader version of the incoming signal and is used to check the
presence of the incoming signal prior to opening the fader.
• Pre fader level signals from multiple paths can be sub-mixed together by routing them to the PFL bus.
• Settings are available to output the PFL bus to its own dedicated loudspeaker or the console monitors.
