AVM-T-MIX
User Handbook Version Three
2.7 Audio Mixers 1 and 2
The
AVM-T-MIX
is equipped with two identical but independent 20 channel (10 stereo bargraph)
audio mixers designed to enable the operator to create their own custom monitoring setups.
On first power up, AVM-T-MIX displays the bargraphs associated with Mixer 1 as denoted by the
mnemonic
MIX 1 MASTER
above the output bargraph pair as shown below.
Simply touching the
Mix Master 1
bargraph for a few seconds will toggle the display between
Mixer 1
and
Mixer 2;
each mixer can be configured entirely independently as described in the
following sections of this Handbook by simply touching and holding any of the 10 bargraph pairs.
2.7.1
Switching Audio Mixer 1 to 5.1 mode
Mixer 1
can be set to operate in surround 5.1 mode by entering
Setup
from the top level screen,
chose
Mixer
and then
Surround
. The L/R/C/LFE/Ls/Rs channel bargraph view appears
automatically in place of the stereo output bargraph.
Note
: If you configure the T-MIX for 5.1 operation when Mixer 1 is in surround mode and
then switch to stereo, the 5.1 configuration will be remembered and recalled when you
switch back. This feature can be useful when checking stereo compatibility of a 5.1 project
mix.
Example:
The image
represents a configuration
used by a current T-MIX
customer who uses the 5.1
monitoring capability in a
Post Production facility
working in conjunction with
their Avid Edit platform
The timeline of their typical project comprises a compiled 5.1 programme audio stem (pairs
1, 2 and 3) plus the individual elements of the 5.1 mix (pairs 4, 5, 6 and 7) which includes
stereo Lt Rt, mix and effects plus mono dialogue channels.
The T-MIX configuration enables the operator to listen to individual channel elements,
adjust their gain within the mix and compare to the compiled 5.1 mix. Connectivity with the
Avid system is via SDI from the edit break out box (BOB) but could equally be achieved
using AES or analogue connections.
