Adding On-Air Signal to the Conference
Procedure:
Alternate Signal to N–X Outputs (CUE)
Document generated: 18.04.17
It is possible to add an amount of the master signal to the conference, in case
the conferencing members should want to constantly hear what's happening
on air. This functionality is provided by a special function, whereby an auxi-
liary master channel is added as a conference member. This AUX bus is fed
by the on air signal from the masters.
Have one AUX bus configured with an On/Off symbol at the master chan-
nels. Have another On/Off symbol between this master channel and all N–X
buses (this step is normally performed by the N–X wizard available in the
Configuration Editor software.)
Define your conference members by pressing MPX and selecting any of the
half-lit N–X owner channels, and add the AUX master channel as a further
conference member.
Go to the console master channels and open some level to this AUX bus.
Vary the N–1 send level on the corresponding AUX master channel in order
to add the on-air signal to the conference. Since this feed is taken pre-fader,
this master's fader has no effect.
Typically, one auxiliary bus is reserved for this use. It may be the one with
the highest of all bus numbers, in order to avoid confusion with the rest of the
buses. By using the new 'N–X setup' wizard within the Configuration Editor
software, this functionality can be easily added with all typical settings.
The new N–X bus type allows defining an 'alternate N–X bus assignment'.
It is possible to select any console channel (or multiples) to be the alternate
