Inp (Wide Input)
Set the Main Mon Format before selecting this parameter.
The width of the Wide Inputs may be formatted for 7.1, 6.1, 5.1,
or LCRS, depending upon the Main Mon format
selected.
Note: For formatting interactions & mappings
see pages 17-27.
All five Wide Inputs – Direct, Playback, Premix 1, 2, & 3
– will be set to the selected width. When simultaneously con-
necting mixes of different widths to the Wide Inputs, select
the setting that matches the widest mix, as the format selec-
tion mutes unused inputs among other things. For example, a
setting of 5.1 would allow only the L, R, C, LFE, LS, & RS
inputs for the five Wide Inputs to be active. Unused, unmuted
inputs should be grounded.
Note: The combined mix of the Wide Inputs section is outputted directly to the Wide Send, therefore the Wide
Send format will always match the Wide Inputs format.
Rtn (Wide Return)
MultiMAX EX features enhanced Wide Return selections to facilitate the implementation of the new
processors used for Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES. The first version of MultiMAX simply selected a
dedicated 8 channel input for returning external processors. In MultiMAX EX, the dedicated input is
still there, but the ability has been added to monitor the Wide Return surround inputs with the L, R, C,
& LFE inputs of the Wide Inputs allowing the insertion of a processor on the surround channels only.
Likewise, the ability to simultaneously monitor a 4:2:4 processor while in this mode is available.
Standard Mode
Set the Main Mon Format before selecting this parameter.
The width of the Wide Return may be formatted for 7.1, 6.1,
5.1, or LCRS, depending upon the Main Mon format
selected.
Note: For formatting interactions & mappings see pages 17-27.
This mode simply formats the Wide Return width and acti-
vates all Wide Return inputs when the Wide Return button is
selected.
