Appendix A: Which Patching System To Use When - Yamaha SB168-ES Quick Setup Manual

Appendix A: Which patching system to use when?

Traditional analog systems can be patched at the stagebox or the console rear panel.
Traditional digital systems are the same, but rear panel patching is replaced by software.
SB168-ES uses a network system that introduces another patch option.

Use the AVS-ESMonitor Quick Setup feature to achieve network patching in one easy step.
After it is set your system can work just like the traditional digital system, no further network
patching is necessary, unless you redesign the system. However, the addition of a network to
your setup prepares you for future upgrades of your signal path.
Use the network patch system to create digital splits to a recording or add a broadcast or
monitor desk split. Use the network to route channels to signal processors like DME-ES or
other manufacturers ES equipped units. Use network channels to create tie-lines from one
SB168 to another without going through console channels. Note; changing the network patch
can affect all the units connected to the network. Use it for setup only. (see Appendix D)
Use the LS9 patch system where you want to effect only your console patching. Note; the
LS9 patch is part of the console SCENE recall system, and recalling SCENEs does not affect
audio to other units (unless you are remote controlling HA gain and +48V via the network) .
