Channel Output Routing And Bus Assignment; Channel Direct Output - API Legacy AXS Operator's Manual

Channel Output Routing and Bus Assignment

The output of each audio path (Small Fader and Large Fader) may be routed to the following
destinations:

Channel Direct Output

Multitrack Buses 1-24
Stereo Program Bus A
Stereo Program Bus B
Stereo Program Bus C
IMPORTANT NOTE: If no output assignments have been made, the output of the Large Fader
will feed the Channel Direct Output and the Small Fader will not be routed anywhere.
In a tracking session, it is typical for the Small Fader to be assigned to the Direct Output or a Multitrack
Bus and the Large Fader to feed the Stereo A (STA) Program Bus. In a mixing session, it is typical for
both paths on most channels to be assigned to one or more Program Bus (Stereo A, B, C).
Channel Direct Output
The Direct Output may be fed from the following sources:
Large Fader path, post-fader, post-mute (default source)
•
Large Fader path, post-COMP (lower 200 slot), pre-EQ
•
• Small Fader path, post-fader, post-mute
Small Fader path, post-COMP (lower 200 slot), pre-EQ
•
The Direct Output is fed post-mute from the Large Fader path by default. The Direct Output cannot
feed more than one of these destinations simultaneously.
The source of the Direct Output is determined by the DIR PRE and DIR SM buttons on the 968 Input
Module.
DIR PRE (Direct Output Pre-fader): Routes the Direct Output pre-fader from the assigned
fader path.
• The Direct Output is routed post-fader by default
Output is routed post-lower 200 slot (COMP), pre-EQ
•
• Illuminates when engaged
DIR SM (Direct Output Small Fader): Routes the Direct Output from the Small Fader
path.
• The Direct Output is routed from the Large Fader path by default
Output is routed post-mute (post-fader)
•
Illuminates when engaged
•
The Direct Output feeds the DIRECT OUTPUT patch points.
NOTE: The multitrack recorder may alternately be fed from the Multitrack Buses by patching the
BUS OUTPUT patch points to the MULTITRACK INPUT patch points.
L e g a c y A X S
DIRECT OUTPUT: Channel Direct Output (as assigned)
Fed post-fader from the Large Fader by default
Half-normalled to the MULTITRACK INPUT
• Outputs split if patched
MULTITRACK INPUT: Connection to multitrack recorder inputs
Half-normalled from the DIRECT OUTPUT
Breaking input: Inserted patch cord will replace normalled
connection
