Configuring Custom Speaker and Source Formats
DADman lets you setup the Monitor Profile Configuration with custom speaker and source formats. Group formats are used for defining
the channel formats for sources and outputs. This lets you connect and match the input sources to the outputs (each of which can be any
of the defined formats), so left goes to left, right to right, and so on. This has a well-defined coherence in the existing default Preset for-
mats. In the Custom formats editor, group formats using the well-defined role tags can be created, thus making almost any speaker map-
ping possible. A speaker output can also reuse speakers from other speaker outputs with in the control room environment. When select-
ing Preset formats, predefined Group formats can be viewed.
