System 5 Digital Audio Mixing System - InDepth
8
Channels
The number of cards in the DSP SuperCore determine the num-
ber of channels and buses that are available in each System
5. For a given number of cards in the DSP SuperCore, different
combinations of channels and buses may be quickly configured
using the eMix Mixer Model software. Usually a Mixer Model
is chosen during installation and is used throughout the life of
the system as it will best match the application requirements
of the studio.
Each System 5 channel has:
• 2 inputs, that may be fed from analog or digital sources
(using appropriate converters), labelled A & B. Either A, B
or A & B may be selected to feed the channel.
• phase reverse
• gain trim
• delay up to 2 secs
• insert send & return
• 4 band fully parametric EQ
• 2 filters
• dynamics including compress/expand-gate with hyster-
esis, key input and side chain filter
• touch sensitive moving fader
• multi-format panning to mix-minus/group and mix buses
• up to 48 group buses
• up to 24 aux send buses
• solo (APL, PFL, SIP)
• 2 direct outputs - pre-fader & post-fader
If mic preamps are connected to the channel these additional
controls are available which relate to the ML 530 remote mic/
line interface unit :
• input impedance - hi/lo
• phantom power
• hi pass filter
• analog input gain
