ROUTING

ROUTING A SIGNAL

Routing a signal in Brio 36 is quick and simple:

1.  Access the path you wish to route, either using the 

ACCESS 

buttons situated above faders, or from the touch display 

within the ‘Buses & Outputs’ screen.

2.  Next, tap to select the routing tab for the bus or output to route the path to and the relevant controls are displayed 

within the control screen.

3.  If routing to a bus, tap to slide the on/off switch for the individual bus.

FIGURE 1 - 

BUS ROUTING SWITCHES

4.  If routing to an output (direct or mix minus), tap either 

MONO 

or 

STEREO 

to create the desired output for the 

accessed path.
