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.
