D-Show Proﬁle control surface D-Show Profile provides 24 bankable input channel strips in Input Channel sections, the Assignable Channel Section (ACS), eight bankable output channel strips plus a Mains fader in the Output Masters section, as well as global controls and comprehensive me- tering.
Page 36: Input Channels And Faders
Input Channels and Faders Input sections provide 24 faders and other controls for Input Channel and FX Returns. Input channels are arranged in two sec- tions: Input channel strips 1–16 are to the left of the Output Master Section, while Input strips 17–24 are to the right. Additional channels are banked to the 24 faders using the Bank A, B, C and D switches.
