Head Amp Control; Control From A Digital Mixing Console; Control From The Avs-Esmonitor Application - Yamaha SB168-ES Owner's Manual

Head Amp Control

The SB168-ES head amplifiers can be remotely controlled from host devices such as a compatible digital mixing
console or digital mixing engine (see page 169), or from the AVS-ESMonitor application.

Control from a Digital Mixing Console

The SB168-ES head amplifiers can be controlled from a compatible digital mixing console. In order to control the head ampli-
fiers from a digital mixing console, select control via an MY16-ES64 in the Quick Setup Head Amp Controller field.
Each SB168-ES unit will be represented by two AD8HR units (AD8HR #1, AD8HR #2, etc.) on the digital mixing console dis-
play, and the SB168-ES parameters can be controlled in the same way as AD8HR parameters. Furthermore, scene recall can be
used to recall all head amplifier settings at once.
Refer to the digital mixing console owner's manual for details on head amplifier control.
