Changing Crossover Configuration
As the amplifier output’s configuration setup is identical to the auxiliary output’s
configuration, this section will just explain the former. The configuration of the amplifier
outputs 1-4, and auxiliary outputs 1-4 have separate entries in the Configuration sub-menu,
but operate identically. Once the input sources and AES selections have been set up, the last
part of the process is to determine what actual routing configuration is required from the
“outputs” of the four input processing channels.
This is the mix matrix. The mix matrix can function either in a “Boolean” operation mode,
where input signals still have the capability to be mixed together to feed an output channel’s
processing, but at fixed standard levels, or as a fully variable mixer.
There is also a selection of useful templates if used in the “Boolean” mode, which will
preconfigure not only the routing, but also useful starting points for each outputs’ crossover
filters.
To change configuration, from the home screen, press MENU, choose the CONFIGURATION
Sub-Menu and press ENTER.
Use the encoder or BACK and NEXT keys to find the Output Routing option and press ENTER.
Use the encoder or BACK and NEXT keys to choose from the following routing options:
Full Matrix
This mode offers continuously variable send levels from the four input processing
channels and the adjustment of the levels is then through individual output editing as
explained on page 35.
Free Assign
This mode allows the input sends to be selected as ON or OFF and intelligently
adjusts the send levels to maintain 0dB on the output — this is further explained on
the next page.
1 x 4 WAY
All four outputs are fed from input processing channel A’s output and assigned
default crossover points, which may then be adjusted if required.
2 x 2 WAY
Outputs 1 & 2 (or Aux 5 & 6) are fed from input processing channel A’s output, and
outputs 3 & 4 (or Aux 7 & 8) from channel B. Default crossover points are assigned.
4 x 1 WAY
Input processing channel A feeds output channel 1, B to 2, C to 3 and D to 4.
Crossover points are not assigned and will be set to full range — this can be changed
manually if required.
