VeniceF
Operator Manual
flexible bus structure that lets the engineer configure the console for different
applications.
The VeniceF consoles (F16 left, F24 top and F32 bottom)
All variants include four stereo input channels for use on stereo sources. These share
single control knobs and have slightly different functionality as compared to the mono
channels.
The Venice F lets the user route to any of 13 other buses — six auxiliaries (including two
monitors), four groups and three masters (stereo left and right, and mono). There are
also two matrix buses, which are a submix of the master buses, and three solo buses
(two after-fader listen (AFL) and one pre-fader listen (PFL)).
All major inputs and outputs are on balanced XLR connectors. The following table gives
a ‘quick stats’ comparison of the Venice
F consoles (where: XLRF = XLR female; XLRM =
XLR male; TRS = 1/4” TRS Jack; and RCA = phono plug).
