Chapter 1: Max Air Overview
This chapter explains the basic elements of any digital audio mixing system and introduces
the components of Max Air. It concludes with a section explaining how to estimate your
system’s requirements.
Chapter 2: Interconnecting System Components illustrates how to connect the components,
where to locate them, and lists technical information about the components.
Chapter 3: Max Air Components presents relevant details about each component’s
connectors and cables.
1.1 Introduction to Max Air
The Max Air Console
The Max Air console must contain a CM404 center section module and can have up to three
fully loaded CM416 16-channel Modules, each providing 16 physical faders. The system
can have up to 48 faders, not including the eight faders in the CM404 master section. The
416HL and 416HR, which are half-loaded (left or right) 8-fader modules, can be used to
expand your system.
The following sections discuss important concepts necessary to specify a console layout.
