CHANNEL STRIP
ROUTING and
AUXILIARIES
The routing section takes the signal
from the SF path and routes it to
the bus outputs which in turn are
usually connected to the inputs of
a DAW or other recording device.
Buses 1 to 8 also have a parallel
path and feed the 8 sub-groups.
These can be used to pre mix
channels together for final mix
down or as sends to a DAW or
other recording device.
There are 16 bus outputs accessed
by 8 routing buttons and a SHIFT
button.
Routing can be to multiple outputs
and if odd and even outputs are
selected panning can be used to
place the signal within a stereo
image.
With mulitple buses available it
is possible to achieve a variation
on the multi-bus compression
techniques made popular by mix
engineers like Michael Brauer.
(See www.mbrauer.com/articles).
The LF switch moves the routing
from the SF path over to the LF
path and can be useful for track
bouncing. If PAN is down and
routing is again selected for odd
and even buses then the post fade
post pan LF signal is sent to the
bus outputs selected.
There are 8 auxiliary outputs. The
Auxiliaries can be switched to the
SF path.
Cue A and B work in the same
manner as the other auxiliaries
but are intended mainly for use
as sends to the FOLDBACK
system.
1 ROUTING SWITCHES
select the bus outputs that the
SF signal is sent to. The first
eight switches also route to the
8 sub-groups
2 SHIFT gives access to bus
outputs 9-16.
3 PAN allows the signal to be
panned across odd and even
buses.
4 LF replaces the SF signal
being sent to the routing
switches with the signal from
the LF signal path.
5 LEVEL adjusts the level sent
to an auxiliary output.
6 SF allows the signal feeding
the auxiliary to be taken from
the SF signal path.
7 PRE allows the auxiliary
signal to be taken pre fader
instead of the normal situation
where it is taken post fader.
8 CUE A and B are identical in
operation to the others but can
be individually switched into
the SF path.
