APPLICATION HOOKUPS
Surround-Sound Hookup
(5.1 configuration shown)
Surround-Sound Hookup
Scenario:
Film, DVD, home theater mixing.
Source Material:
Dialog, sound effects, mu-
sic, ambience stems, Foley, etc.
Outputs:
As above.
Audio Hookup:
To patchbay and HUI.
For monitoring when recording or mixing for
surround-sound, we suggest the following dis-
crete signal arrangements. Of course, using a
half-normalled or multed patchbay to simulta-
neously feed the signals to the final mix
recording deck and to HUI (for monitoring)
would make life much easier. Consult your fa-
vorite pro audio or music dealer for more
information on patchbays.
Be sure the 1:1 DISCRETE button is
switched on for the following applications.
For 5.1 Surround-Sound
On HUI’s rear panel, connect your DAW audio
interface outputs to:
Input 1 = L/R inputs
Input 2 = L/R Surround inputs
Input 3 = Center/Subwoofer inputs
Output assignments (to control room amplifi-
ers) would follow the same basic signal routing
paths.
For 4.1 Surround-Sound
On HUI’s rear panel, connect your DAW audio
interface outputs to:
Input 1 = L/R inputs
Input 2 = Center/Mono surround inputs
Input 3 = Subwoofer
Output assignments (to control room amplifi-
ers) would follow the same basic signal routing
paths.
Digital Control Hookup:
Studio sync as ap-
plicable.

sound monitoring abilities, turn back to page 17.
