6 – Note on DS-M7.1 usage

Many pre-mixes for film are made that are greater than 8 tracks. The DS-M7.1 can still be useful in these conditions, as explained here.

If a large format (24 or more output busses) console is used, a number (8 or 16) of the busses can be used to feed the stem recorder.

The returns from the stem recorder can then be fed back through the console inputs and routed to a dif- ferent set of eight busses, which are then used to feed the DS-M7.1 for monitoring.

Although this does not allow BUS/RTN switching, the DS-M7.1’s monitoring control (bass management and downmix facilities, etc.) can still be used to great effect in this environment.
