2882 Quick Start Guide

The 2882 and surround
If you are working in surround, it’s easy to configure the 2882 for surround processing and monitoring.
Let's take a minute to walk through the process:
First, go to the Mixer menu and select “Configure Mixer” (cmd-shift-C). This window is the main setup
page for your Mixer layout. The Main Mix configuration is set at the top - it is currently set to “Stereo”. If
you click on the Main Mix selector, you can change it from “Stereo” to whatever width you need.
Let’s say you’re working in 5.1. Select “5.1 SMPTE/ITU” and hit OK… Voila! Your Main bus is six channels
wide and all the mono input channels now have joysticks instead of pan knobs.
Your Host input strip is still bringing your DAW in on just two channels, so let's fix that too. Go to the top
of the “Host” input strip and click on the input assignment pulldown. At the top of this window you have
the choice of a mono, stereo or a multi-channel strip. Select “Multi” and click “Apply”.
Your Host strip is automatically set to match the Main bus configuration of your mixer: in this case 5.1
SMPTE/ITU. Now your audio will come into the 2882 in SMPTE surround format as positioned by your host
on channels 1 through 6.
Figure 4.21: Surround Mixer
Your surround mixer should look pretty similar to this. You can right-click (or ctl-click) the panner on the
first six mono input strips to hard-assign each strip to a particular speaker channel as is shown on the
example above.
Note especially the mouse-over pop-up at the top of the Host desk strip. Ordinarily the text “#1 2882
Host 1/2/3/4/5/6” would be too small to read, so in the interest of saving screen real estate these mouse-
overs come in very handy.
If you can afford the space, use the “Mixer - Set Mixer Strips Width” menu to adjust your mixer desk strips‘
width to taste.
