With eMotion LV1 on the Host computer, this setup is a complete 32-channel mixing console totally controlled by software. It is a light, flexible and powerful mixing console with up to eight plugins per channel.
  • Page 9 Large PA To increase channels count, more STAGEGRID 4000 can be added to the system, by using network switches, the solution can be distributed according to the size of the event. In this example, besides dividing the system between stage and house mix position, two servers are used together for redundancy, significantly increasing fault tolerance.
