5. APPLICATIONS
Alternatively, you can use a
digital mixing console
, whose
digital stereo sum signal is routed to the computer via the digital
inputs on the B-CONTROL. If your digital console features an
ADAT
®
optical output (like the BEHRINGER DDX3216 with the
ADT1616 option), you can even transmit an eight-channel digital
signal, provided your computer supports High-Speed USB.
In our example with an analog mixer, a DAT or a CD recorder is
connected to the digital connectors. Along with the analog stereo
sum signal from the console, four parallel input channels are
transferred to the computer.
The
Monitoring options
are also considerably expanded in
this setup; all options can be used simultaneously. A pair of
BEHRINGER TRUTH B2030A active monitors with an additional
active subwoofer are used here as main monitors. The control
room outputs are connected to the subwoofer; from there the
signal is passed on to the TRUTH loudspeakers.
The same signal is also available via two sets of headphones
(e.g. for musicians), whereby their volume can be adjusted
separately.
An additional pair of monitor speakers is connected to the main
outputs. The new BEHRINGER MS16 speakers that simulate the
listening experience of using smaller monitors are shown here.
Their volume is adjusted using the main fader. With such flexible
control options, you can better judge the various criteria of your
mix in order to produce sonically accurate mixes that translate
well to various systems.
