Local IO
Every mc
2
96 control surface includes built-in IO known as the "Local IO". This is designed for local connections
such as loudspeakers, metering, talkback and headphones. The local IO board is located inside the main frame
(beneath the centre section). All connectors are accessed from the console's rear panel, except for the
headphones which breakout on the front buffer.
The local IO provides 16 x Mic/Line in, 16 x Line out, 8 x AES3 IO, 1 x MADI (AES10), 2 x Phones, 8 x GPI and
8 x GPO for connection to external devices. Line out 1-8 are usually reserved for console monitoring. There is
also 1 x RAVENNA/AES67 interface which connects the local IO to the Core.
On the mc
2
96, there are an additional 4 x AES3 out and 5 x GPO which are wired internally to the RTW meter in
the centre section. These cannot be accessed externally, and so will be unused if the RTW meter is not fitted.

·
16 x Line OUT
- wired to 16 x XLR (male).
·
8 x AES3 IN
- wired to 8 x XLR (female).
·
8 x AES3 OUT
- wired to 8 x XLR (male).
·
1 x 64-channel MADI
- available via SFP. To use this port, you must fit a Lawo-certified
.
·
8 x GPIO
- wired to 1 x 37-pin, D-type (female).
See
for wiring information.
Note that:
·
The
TB
connector is wired from the female talkback XLR (on the front panel).
·
By default,
Line OUT 1-8
are routed from the MON 1 monitor output.
·
You will find the two stereo headphone sockets on the front buffer.
The
RAVENNA/AES67
ports connect the local IO signals to the Core.
