When you connect one M7CL-48ES to up to three SB168-ES units, using the Stage Box Setup

function enables you to set up the EtherSound patches and word clock without using AVS-

ESMonitor.

For more information on setting up patches, refer to “Connecting SB168-ES units to the M7CL-

48ES using the STAGE BOX SETUP function” (→ p. 43).

You can use the Stage Box Setup function in the EXT-ES HA ﬁeld in the VIRTUAL RACK window.

Use one of the following two methods to display the EXT-ES HA ﬁeld:

•Press the SETUP button, then press the STAGE BOX SETUP button in the SETUP screen.

•Press the RACK button, press the EXT-ES HA tab in the VIRTU AL RA CK window, then press

the SB168-ES button in the VIEW ﬁeld.

1AUTO CONFIGURE button

This button switches the automatic conﬁguration of Ether-

Sound patches on and off. When this button is switched

on, the master clock will be set to INT 48kHz (in a daisy

chain connection) or to EtherSound (48kHz) (in a ring

connection).

If you want to change the EtherSound setting in AVS-

ESMonitor or if you want the M7CL-48ES or SB168-ES

to start up with the settings made in AVS-ESMonitor,

switch this button off.

chain connection) or RING (ring connection) setup,
