PRO6 Live Audio System
Owner’s Manual
• 16-off matrix buses, routable from the 56 inputs and eight aux inputs, and 16 aux
buses and three master buses.
• 16-off aux buses, routable from the 56 inputs and eight aux inputs.
All the bus routings (above) provide simultaneous and time aligned mixing of all the
sources, which will be defeatable for minimum latency requirements.
For monitor mixing, the master, matrix and aux buses can all be routed directly from
the input channels with independent level controls providing up to 35 monitor mix
buses.
For traditional FOH sub group mixing, any (or all) of the aux buses can change to
operate post-channel fader and pan (that is, aux gain fixed at unity).
Auxiliary inputs have two modes of operation: effects return and input channel. In
input channel mode (default) they will have aux, master and matrix routing, insert
points and EQ (like regular inputs channels), but no dynamic capability. They are
controlled like regular inputs from the input bay and channel strip, and are time aligned
to the stage like regular input channels. In effects return mode the channels have
routing to matrix and masters only and no insert or dynamic capability. They are
controlled from the aux return area and time aligned to the effects engines.
Mix matrix
Ultimately, the mix matrix defines the capability of the PRO6 Control Centre. Probably
the best way to imagine the mix matrix is to think of an analogue console layout, where
inputs run vertically and buses run horizontally. A mix matrix is usually defined as the
number of buses and the quantity of simultaneously-mixable inputs there are per bus.
The following diagram illustrates the capability within the control centre.
