6. Tap the fifth encoder to complete the signal tap point assignment.
p16 out
The ROUTING screen's p16 out tab allows the user to route various console signal
paths to the rear panel P16 Ultranet output. This output allows for 16 channels
of audio to be sent, in digital form, to various accessories such as a personal
monitoring distribution box.
Using the p16 out routing screen, the user can configure the P16 output to carry
not only the main LR mix, but also various audio 'stems' of audio material sources
from a bus send mix, such as a stereo drum mix, stereo keyboards, guitars,
bass, vocals, etc. Musicians on stage would then be free to each craft their own
personal mix of these musical stems, all delivered from the FOH position to stage
over a single Ethernet cable.
To select which audio signals are sent to the P16 bus, perform the
following steps:
1. Adjust the first push encoder to select for which of the 16 channels in the P16
bus you wish to select an audio source.
2. Adjust the third encoder to select a category of audio source to send to the
currently selected P16 channel. These categories include:
•
Insert
• Main (LRC)
• Mix Bus
• Matrix
• Direct Out
• Monitor.
3. Adjust the fourth encoder to select which specific signal path to feed to the
currently selected P16 output. Choices include:
• Off
•
Main L
• Main R
• Main C/M
• Any of the 16 Mix Outputs
• Any of the six Matrix Outputs
• Any of the 32 Direct Outputs
• Any of the eight Auxiliary Outputs
• Any of the FX Direct Outputs
• Monitor L
• Monitor R
• Talkback.
4. Tap the fourth encoder to assign the selected output path,
completing the process.
5. Adjust the fifth encoder to select the signal tap point for the output
assignment. This determines where in the audio signal path the source
is 'tapped' as it is sent to the P16 output. The available signal tap
points include:
• IN/LC
• IN/LC +M
• PreEQ
• PreEQ +M
• PostEQ
• PostEQ +M
•
PreFdr
• PreFdr +M
• Post Fader.
6. Tap the fifth encoder to complete the signal tap point assignment.
card out
The ROUTING screen's card out tab allows the user to patch various signal paths
to the physical inputs and outputs on the DN32-USB card. The card's signal path
provides 32 channels of inputs and 32 channels of outputs. The 32 card inputs can
be used as alternative sources for the two input fader layers, switchable in banks
of eight.
To assign an output path to the option card, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the first push encoder to select an 8-channel signal path that will be
sent to the first eight channels of the card. Choices include:
• •
Local 1-8
• Local 9-16 •
• Local 17-24 •
• Local 25-32 •
• AES50-A 1-8 •
• AES50-A 9-16 •
• AES50-A 17-24 •
• AES50-A 25-32 •
• •
AES50-A 33-40
• AES50-A 41-48 •
• AES50-B 1-8 •
• AES50-B 9-16 •
• AES50-B 17-24
2. Tap the first encoder to assign the selected output path,
completing the process.
3. Repeat the process with encoders 2-4 to select output paths for the other
24 channels or card outputs.
aes50-a / aes50-b
The ROUTING screens aes50-a and aes50-b tabs allow the user to patch
various console output paths to the outputs of the dual AES50 connectors. These
connectors can feed other AES50-equipped devices, such as a digital stage box or
standalone multi-track recorder.
The M32 contains two separate AES50 connectors, labelled A and B. These dual
connectors allow for an increased level of flexibility in networking the console to
various AES50-based equipment.
