System

System 5 can be customized for each studio and application. The number of channels,
busses, and external inputs available in any System 5 depends on the amount of pro-
cessing in the DF66 Super Core.
For a given number of processing cards, several different Mixer Models can be config-
ured, each with different numbers of channels, mix and group busses, and aux sends.
Mixer Models are supplied on CD-ROM and selected from within eMix. A system can
be quickly and easily switched from stereo to surround sound, multiple-stem mixing by
selecting from the available Mixer Models installed on the system.
The number of the DSP Line Cards in the DF66 determines the amount of processing
available to the system: one to six-card systems are available. The system can be ex-
panded at any time.

Mixer Model

Choosing a Mixer Model
The Mixer Models that support 96 kHz are intended for music applications requiring
the highest digital sound quality where sources are analog or 24-bit 96 kHz. For low-
er resolution sources, such as 16-bit 44.1 or 48 kHz, the 44.1/48kHz sample rate Mix-
er Models are more suitable. For post-production and on-air broadcast, 48kHz is a
perfectly acceptable sample rate that will provide adequate audio quality with twice as
many channels as 96kHz.
When choosing a Mixer Model, give careful consideration to the combinations of
channels, mix and group busses, aux sends required. For many applications (other than
multiple stem post mixing), the maximum number of mix busses used is six for a 5.1 Sur-
round Mix Section. Take extra care in selecting the number of Aux sends you need in
your system: they always seem to be used up!
