6-1 OXF-R3 System Description
A key feature of the OXF-R3 is that it has Assignable Panels. These can
be broken down into 4 basic areas:
• INPUT CHANNEL, EQUALISER and FILTERS
• FREE ASSIGN and DYNAMICS AREA
• ROUTING and MULTITRACK
• SENDS AREA (for feeding effects and foldbacks etc)
INPUT CHANNEL, EQUALISER and FILTERS
The Input Channel section is much more flexible than a conventional
in-line analogue channel strip in that it allows processing elements to be
configured in almost any order.
The 5 Band Equaliser and High and Low Filters sections are independent
and can be assigned separately to any position in the channel signal path.
FREE ASSIGN AREA and DYNAMICS
• GATE
• EXPANDER
• COMPRESSOR
• LIMITER
• SIDE-CHAIN EQUALISER (S-C EQ)
Each section of the Dynamics has its own side-chain and allows very
comprehensive control, equivalent to that of high spec outboard units. All
the side-chains operate on a single gain control element. The Side-Chain
EQ is a 2-band fully parametric element which may be inserted in three
ways:
• in the Dynamics Side-Chain only
• in the Signal Path and the Side-Chain
• in the Signal Path only, as a second EQ.
• DELAY EFFECT
This area includes space for additional effects to be controlled as software
upgrades are introduced.
ROUTING and MULTITRACK
• MULTITRACK
The Multitrack section is configurable in two ways, either as part of an in-
line channel or in a parallel mode, where a multi-channel recording is
being made during a live mix, for example.
