Getting to know DB6
English Manual (2014-03-05) 15
Scenes, Routings, Engines
DB6 offers considerable flexibility in routing, pro-
cessing and analyzing audio signals. To benefit
from this flexibility, you need to understand the
basic concepts and building blocks of the device
as outlined in this chapter.
The physical basis of both DB6 Single and DB6
Multi are
dual-engine cards/processors.
Each
of these multichannel cards/processors is ca-
pable of running…
– two LoudnessWizard™ algorithms and
– two LM6 Loudness Radar Meters
simultane-
ously.
– A DB6 Single contains one such processor.
– A DB6 Multi can contain one, two or three of
these processors/cards.
You can define how these engines will be used to
process the incoming audio stream as described
in the following sections.
Scenes
A
Scene
is the most extensive selection you can
make when recalling, storing or deleting settings.
A Scene includes…
– all settings for both Engines on a processor/
card
– signal routings to and from these Engines.
Recalling a Scene is equivalent to a “total recall.”
All the settings that make up a Scene are called
a
Scene preset.
Recalling (Loading), storing (saving) and deleting
Scene Presets is covered in the “Recalling, stor-
ing and deleting settings” on page 33 section
of this manual.
Engines
Instead of recalling or storing a full Scene as de-
scribed in the previous section, you may want to
edit, store or recall the settings for one particular
Engine.
All the settings for one particular Engine are
called an
Engine preset.
Recalling (Loading), storing (saving) and deleting
Engine Presets is covered in the “Recalling, stor-
ing and deleting settings” on page 33 section
of this manual.
Routings
All the settings that define how signals are rout-
ed to and from the Engines on a processor/card
are called a
Routing preset.
Recalling (Loading), storing (saving) and delet-
ing Routing Presets is covered in the “Recalling,
storing and deleting settings” on page 33 sec-
tion of this manual.
