Using the faders, you can adjust the levels of the main sound system without losing the balance between the
tops and the subs. The signal is not affected by the AUX 6 rotary master
(44.)
. However, the rotary output
AUX 6 OUT can still provide another sub feed with its own independent master control
(44.)
.
Route all sources to LR the usual way (pressed in MAIN button on the respective channels) to feed the main
“top” speakers. In addition, route sources with low frequency content such as kick drum, bass, keyboards,
sound effects to the subwoofers by turning up the AUX 6 send rotary on those channels. Make sure all
channels AUX (5-6) sends have been set for post-fader

operation. Use two crossovers, one for the
stereo LR high/mid frequencies, the other for the sub feed. Set the system up so that the correct balance is
achieved between the tops and subs is achieved when each of the channel's AUX 6 send is at its unity gain
“0” (3 o'clock) position and the LEFT (L), RIGHT (R), and M faders in line with each other.
AUX-FED-CENTER MODE – The same principle as above, but AUX 6 is used to feed a center mix such as
a fill or C in a LCR system. To route to C only, turn up channel AUX 6 send to 3 o'clock “0” unity gain
position, and turn off its assignment switch to MAIN L/R.
58. L-R-M MASTER METERS
Each of the L-R-M master has a highly precise 12-LED VU meter to its own.
The matrix adds to the powerful multi-tasking capability of the
EXODUS ODYSSEY mixing consoles. It provides a set of four
additional console outputs. It is a “mixer within a mixer”
creating its output from any combination of the groups, main
LR mix and external inputs. It can be used to provide duplicate
main outputs or to create new mixes from these outputs. The
matrix controls are positioned conveniently away from the live
performance controls to avoid accidental operation.
Use the matrix to create special mixes for delay fill and zone
speakers, recording and broadcast feeds, IEM (in-ear
monitors), hearing assist loops and so on. Mono and stereo
feeds can be created. For example, mix L and R to create a
mono sum output to feed an additional zone, or use two matrix
outputs with L fed to one, R to the other to create an
independent stereo main output. Mix in an external source
such as an ambience microphone preamp to add atmosphere
and audience reaction to a recording or monitor. Compensate
for an acoustically loud backline by boosting selected groups
in a live recording.
59. EXT IN
Mixes in an external nominal 0dBu line level source. The
rotary pr6dB boost. Note that EXT IN jack sockets are
normalled (linked) in a way that lets you plug in a mono or
stereo common source to feed all the matrices, or an
independent source to each
(11.)
. Plug into EXT 1 only to feed
one source to all four matrix EXT IN controls. Plug L into EXT
1 and R into EXT 2 only to feed a stereo source to matrix MTX
(1-2) and MTX (3-4).
Some examples include adding ambience sources to
recordings and in-ear monitoring, adding a direct output or an
aux mix to quickly create a monitor from the main mix plus
selected channel(s), and linking in another console to feed the
