Channel to Strip Layout

Euphonix digital consoles allow the user to adjust the relationship between the logical
channels (logical channels are the actual channel signal paths) and the 16–48 physical
channel strips on the surface.
Each channel strip has a Swap button that switches the Strip between the Main and Swap
channels.
To create an easy starting point, we will assign 96 logical channels to the 32 physical
strips as shown in Table 3-1.
Note: Your particular "Mixer Model" may actually have fewer or more channels than
the one we are using in this example
Physical Strips
Main Strips 1-16
Swap Strips 1-16

Setting up Stereo Channels using MF Masters

Table 3-1 shows that the first 32 logical channels are mono channels, 33–96 are stereo
channels.
A Multi Format Master (or MF Master) provides you with a single controller for mul-
tiple channels. This is the preferred way of making "Stereo" (or two-channel) channels
on the Max Air system. By placing two logical channels under control of a MF Master,
you are in effect making a "Stereo Channel" with all functionality that a Stereo Channel
needs: Balance Control, Left-to-Mono/Right-to-Mono/Both-to-Mono, a Stereo EQ, true
Stereo-linked Dynamics, and stereo metering.
Setup Stereo Multi Format Masters for Channels 33-96
