Combining Input Channels (Make Stereo)
Pairs of mono Input Channels can be combined to make ste-
reo channels, whose left and right sides are then controlled by
one input channel strip.
Stereo Input Channel in the Inputs page
Combined Input Channels are shown in the patchbay as left
and right sides of the Input Channel name. FX Returns are al-
ways stereo, so they cannot be combined or split.

To combine pairs of mono input channels and make them stereo:
Put D-Show into Config mode.
1
Press the Make Stereo switch in the Fader Control section.
2
The Make Stereo switch flashes when this function is active.
Press the Select switches on the mono channel pairs you
3

Press the flashing Make Stereo switch to confirm the opera-
4
tion.
Each selected channel is combined with the next-highest se-
lected channel, even if the selected channels are not contigu-
ous. Channel order on the control surface is rearranged to ac-
commodate the new stereo channels. All parameter values
from the leftmost channel of each pair are applied to both
channels.
The Stereo LED (just below the Input Level meter) lights to in-
dicate that a channel is a stereo channel.
