Bus Outputs; Mains; Tracks And Auxs - Calrec SUMMA User Manual

BUS OUTPUTS

Summa's bus outputs—4 mains, 16 auxs and 32 tracks—are all available for patching from the I/O patching screen.
Bus outputs appear under desk outputs in the sources window.
Multiple paths can be routed to each bus using the routing tabs down the right hand side of the control window.
See "Routing a Signal" on page 164

Mains

Mains are generally used as main broadcast outputs of the system as well as to feed monitoring systems.
Two versions of each main are available for patching out of the system: main and main (pre talkback and tone).
Main (pre talkback and tone) is generally used for monitoring output, for example, during rehearsals.

Tracks and Auxs

Tracks and Auxs are generally used to feed external signal processing devices or to create interruptable foldback feeds.
Auxs differ to tracks in that each path has individual level controls and send position switches for each of the 16 aux
feeds, allowing a high level of control over 16 separate mixes. Each path has one level control and position switch for all
32 track sends—auxs also have an additional level of logic control, allowing you to set conditions under which each pre
fader aux send should be cut.
