Audio Routing

 

Figure 3.22. Matrix Routing Key

If you click the Clear

Matrix button, you will

 

clear all cross points in the

routing matrix.

Audio is routed in the Matrix Screen (see Figure 3.20 on previous page). To access the Matrix Screen, click on the Matrix button on the Flow Screen. To return to the Flow Screen, click the Flow Screen button.

The XAP 400 routing matrix has 25 possible input sources and 26 output destinations, with level control at each cross point. Any input or combination of inputs can be routed to any output or any combination of outputs. To clear the matrix, click the Clear Matrix button located above the Routing Key.

To route an input, click in the routing matrix at the intersection between the input and the output. A mic input can be designated as gated (yellow) or non-gated (blue) by clicking repeatedly in the cross point. All other input cross points will be colored green.

Expansion bus O–Z routing

Audio on any XAP unit in the E-bus network can be placed on the bus or taken off the bus and routed to any destination within the unit. The XAP 400 has 12 digital mix-minus buses:

O–R buses are defaulted as the mic mix buses and can communicate the NOM count. Gated mics are default routed to the O-bus.

S–Z buses are defaulted as the auxiliary mix buses. They are used to carry auxiliary audio such as that from codecs and XAP TH2s. These buses are used as mic mix buses when NOM count is not required.

Process A–D routing

There are four processing blocks on the XAP 400 (Processing A–D). With these processing channels, you can apply filters, EQ, or other processing settings to an input or a group of inputs which can then be routed to a single output or group of outputs. See page 49 for more information on processing settings.

Cross point attenuation

shortcut menu

Right-click on a cross point to open the Cross Point shortcut menu. Click Cross Point Enter to open the Cross Point Attenuation Dial window.

Click the ▲ and ▼ buttons or click on the green indicator and rotate the dial with the mouse to adjust the attenuation to the desired level (or enter the numerical value directly in the window). The attenuation range is from 0 to -60dB.
