EAW UMX.96 Owner’s Manual Quick-Start

Snapshot recall works as follows:
• Pressing the
RECALL button also displays a dialog asking you to confirm the recall. Again Choose Yes to
recall the settings stored under the currently displayed snapshot number or Cancel to abort the op-
eration. Pressing the RECALL button a second time also confirms the dialog. On recall, all appropriate
console parameters (according to snapshot filtering and Snapshot Safe/Fader Safe channels; see Section
12.14.2) change to match the stored snapshot.
• When the currently selected snapshot number matches the previously recalled snapshot, the first digit in
the snapshot number display shows an asterisk (*). Otherwise, it appears blank.
For additional information and more snapshot features, refer to Section 12.14.
3.12 Applications
Here are some typical applications for the UMX.96. Of course, we can’t cover every possible configuration,
but those listed here describe many common uses of the console.
3.12.1 House of Worship
A Front of House system for a large church:
• LR + Mono FOH system.
• 4 wedge monitor mixes.
• 1 stereo in-ear mix.
• Multitrack recording.
• Mono mix, just the pastor’s mike, used during the message. Feeds a separate recorder so that the record-
ing can be duplicated before the service ends.
• Mono mix, sent to the lobby areas. This can be made from the LR/Mono mixes.
• Mono mix, sent to the cry room. This could be the lobby mix, but it needs a different delay setting.
• Mono mix, just the speaking mikes, sent to a speaker that covers the choir.
• Mono mix, sent to speakers distributed through the choir that is used when the choir sings to a prerecord-
ed track.
• When services are over, the board needs to be reset for a simple two-mic setup that can run without an
operator. The mics used are always dynamic mics, and the pulpit microphone needs to be on.
First, put the UMX.96 into LR+MONO mode (
Setup>Operation
).
Connect the three channels of the FOH system to the processor outputs. Use the system processor to pro-
vide the crossovers for the three FOH systems. Assign the L, R, and Mono mixes to the system processor’s A,
B, and C inputs.
Use two of the matrix outputs to drive the lobby and cry rooms. Create these mixes from the LR/Mono mixes.
Use another matrix output to drive the speech system covering the choir. This will probably end up just
being the Mono mix. The system processor could also provide this output. If gain before feedback is crucial,
then an aux mix might be a better choice since the mikes that are really prone to feedback can be separately
controlled.
Create four aux sends for the four wedge mixes. Use the output processing for each aux output for EQ, limit-
ing, and Smaart analysis.
Create a stereo-linked aux mix for the in-ear monitor. Ambient microphones may or may not be needed for
this. A separate FX send may also be needed for this mix.
Create a group send that will feed the choir’s track monitors.
The no operator setup is just a snapshot with only the three inputs used made live and mixed into the mono
cluster. Another snapshot provides the starting point for the Sunday service.
