  • Page 36: Title Defaults

    System 5-B Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual eMix Application 4.1.4 Title Defaults This section describes how to set up basic PatchNet settings. This process includes naming the device inputs and outputs and connecting group bus outputs to multitrack inputs. The setup process is equivalent to setting and labeling the normalled connec- tions on a conventional patch.

  • Page 37: Device Inputs Normalled

    System 5-B Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual eMix Application Normalled Connections The inputs and outputs that require normalled connections should be designated in PatchNet and saved to the Title Defaults.

    • The FC727 and FC726 provide 56 channels of digital format conversion. Some equipment, such as the Euphonix R-1, the Sony 3348HR recorder, and some high end consoles, offer a MADI interface. Most other equipment, however, (i.e., mics, speakers, DAWs that support AES/EBU and vintage gear) must have their inputs and outputs converted to and from MADI using the appropriate Euphonix converter.

  • Page 40: Console I/O

    System 5-B Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual eMix Application In an analog studio, the patchbay is hardwired to all the equipment supplied with the room. The multitrack is normalled to the console line inputs, the mics to the console mic inputs, and the outboard gear is ready to be patched into channels.

  • Page 41: Device Inputs And Outputs

    This category handles MADI cable connections for the ML530 Mic/Line Interfaces. Mic/Line Interface Patching For mic inputs and analog inputs not at +4 dB, the Euphonix ML530 provides 24 preamps each with gain, phantom power, high-pass filter, and hiZ/loZ switching. The analog outputs are connected to an AM713 Analog to MADI converter which then con- nects to one of the MADI inputs on the SH612 Studio Hub.

  • Page 42: Patching Examples

    System 5-B Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual eMix Application For each ML530, PatchNet needs to know which MADI input the associated AM713 is connected to so the mic preamp parameters appear on the corresponding input channel knobset. For each Mic/Line Interface, note how it is connected. In the following exam- ple, two ML530s are each connected to an AM713.
