The D-Show control surface consists of one Main Unit and
one or more Sidecars. The D-Show Main Unit provides eight
bankable input channel strips, the Assignable Channel Sec-
tion (center section), eight Assignable Output Encoders, eight
Assignable Output Faders, and one Mains Fader and Master
Controls section.
Each D-Show Sidecar provides 16 additional bankable input
channel strips. Sidecars can be attached to the left of the Main
Unit (as shown above), attached to the right side, or kept
free-standing (unattached) on either side.

Assignable Channel Section
The Assignable Channel Section provides expanded routing
and processing controls for the currently targeted channel.
Output Section
The Output Section includes two sets of output controls that
can be used to control two different sets of outputs at the same
time:
• The Assignable Output Encoders adjust the assigned output
or bus, or plug-in parameters (when in Insert mode), and are
also where you set up Matrix and PQ sends.
• The Assignable Output Faders adjust the assigned output,
bus, or VCA.
