channel monitoring. When choosing a speaker system format that uses less than 24 channels, the
remaining processor channels can be assigned as cue channels, stereo headphone monitor, and
talkback.
For instance, if you select a 7.1 Workflow, 8 channels of the processor will be allocated to
speaker processing, while the remaining 16 channels can be allocated to 4 stereo Cue channels,
stereo headphones, and two talkback mics.
Note that the number of channels assigned to the speaker system represents the
maximum
number of speakers that can be used. However, the m908 supports multiple speaker systems so,
for instance, with the example above you could have a 7.1, 5.1 and stereo speaker system
connected to the m908.
In the System Setup menu the input sources and speaker outputs can be configured. Input
sources can be assigned to hardware connectors and routed to the appropriate DSP channels.
Speaker systems can be assigned to hardware output connectors and routed from the appropriate
DSP channels.
The m908 contains a large set of workflow templates for the most common speaker system
formats and typical input and output configurations. Selecting one of these templates as a starting
point for your system setup can save much time and effort in manual configuration.
System Workflows contain ALL of the configuration settings in the m908. System Workflows
can be saved to a USB storage device for making a backup of the system settings. This also
