System 5-B Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual
Chapter 2: New Features in Version 2.8.1
Mix Bus Terminology
Newer surface hardware now uses the term Main Bus instead of Mix Bus. The manual has
been updated to reflect this change. The two terms can be used interchangeably.
Mixer Model
A new Mixer Model now supports 24 Aux sends.
USB Support
The System 5-B Computer now supports removable USB memory devices and drives.
Removable USB devices can be used to save titles and configuration data.
Aux Bus Configuration
Aux send parameters (unity, pre-/post-fader, on/off, stereo/mono) can now be quickly
set for multiple Aux sends. Level settings can be copied from Faders to Aux and from
Aux to Aux. It is also possible to control Aux sends from the faders. Aux Sends now have
a gain range from off to +12 dB to match the range of the channel fader (see page 85).
Fader Scale
There is a new optional fader scale that allows a larger range of motion around the 0 dB
mark.
Global All Function
The dedicated All key on the CM401 now sets all strips to All Mode. This key was pre-
viously blank. See page 99 and page 83.
Clear Channel Assignment from Strip
The user can now remove a channel from a strip by holding the Wave key, pressing
Chan Select and selecting Blank.
