Mix matrix
Ultimately, the mix matrix defines the XL8 Control Centre’s capability. Probably the
best way to imagine the mix matrix is to think of an analogue console layout, where
inputs run vertically and buses run horizontally. A mix matrix is usually defined as the
number of buses and the quantity of simultaneously-mixable inputs there are per bus.
The following diagram illustrates the capability within the control centre.
Processing
Although the control centre system allows for considerable insertion of external
processing it also embodies more than enough internal high quality processing to
eliminate the need for this.
Input channel processing
Each of the 96 full-function input channels has:
• Analogue and digital gain.
• Phase reverse switch.
• Input delay.
• Swept high pass filter with choice of two filter slopes.
• Swept low pass filter with choice of two filter slopes.
• Frequency-conscious compressor with choice of four compression styles.
• Frequency-conscious noise gate with external side chain.
• Insert point.
• Treble EQ filter with choice of four filter types.
• Parametric hi-mid EQ filter.
• Parametric lo-mid EQ filter.
• Bass EQ filter with choice of four filter types.
• Routing via level controls to 48 mix buses.
• Routing via pan control to left and right master buses.
• Routing to mono master bus.
• Panpot (SIS™).
• Direct output.
