Custom
Custom mode provides control over all automixing parameters. This mode is useful when adjustments must be made to one of
the preset modes to fit a particular application. If parameters are changed in smooth or classic mode, custom mode automati-
cally activates.
Manual
Manual mode sums all active tracks and sends the summed signal over a single Dante output. This provides the option to route
the signal for reinforcement or recording, without enabling automixing. The settings from the faders in the standard monitoring
view apply to the summed output.
Using a Third-Party Control System
This device receives logic commands over the network. Many parameters controlled through Designer can be controlled using
a third-party control system, using the appropriate command string.
Common applications:
Mute
LED color and behavior
Loading presets
Adjusting levels

Networking and Dante
Digital Audio Networking
Dante
digital audio is carried over standard Ethernet and operates using standard Internet Protocols. Dante provides low la-
tency, tight clock synchronization, and high Quality-of-Service (QoS) to provide reliable audio transport to a variety of Dante de-
vices. Dante audio can coexist safely on the same network as IT and control data, or can be configured to use a dedicated net-
work.
Switch and Cable Recommendations for Dante Networking
Switches and cables determine how well your audio network performs. Use high-quality switches and cables to make your au-
dio network more reliable.
Network switches should have:
Gigabit ports. 10/100 switches may work on small networks, but gigabit switches perform better.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) or PoE+ ports for any devices that require power
Management features to provide information about port speed, error counters, and bandwidth used
Ability to switch off Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). EEE (also known as "Green Ethernet") may cause audio dropouts and
problems with clock synchronization.
Diffserv (DSCP) Quality of Service (QoS) with strict priority and 4 queues
