A2.4 System patching
Refer to
Bass sub-mix operation
Many mix operators prefer to create a separate sub-mix for bass/mid-bass sections.
This is good practice as it helps provide main system headroom for those all-
important vocals and solos whilst allowing for larger-than-life percussion and bass
instrument mixes without intermodulation and distortion.
This configuration can easily be programmed into the Martin Audio DX1
Loudspeaker Management System. The following illustrates a DX1 set up to control
an active (3-way) Wavefront W8 system with a separate W8S sub-mix.
