AEQ FORUM
Digital audio mixer for broadcast applications

2.1.1.1. Routing keys.
There are four keys on the top of the channel that routes the channel signal to the
corresponding output bus. Activation is indicated through the integrated LEDs in each of these
keys, and indicates the creation of a cross point between the input signal on the channel and
the output channel corresponding to the key.
From left to right and top to bottom, the four keys of direct routing are “PROGRAM“ (sending to
master 1), “AUDITION“ (sending to master 2), “AUX1“ (sending to auxiliar 1) y “AUX2“ (sending
to auxiliar 2). The allocation of physical outputs associated with these signals and the physical
circuits of the inputs/outputs modules on the back of AEQ FORUM is accomplished from the
configuration software. For more information, please refer to chapter “4. CONFIGURATION
SOFTWARE” of this manual.
2.1.1.2. SELECT.
The control surface of AEQ FORUM offers the usual controls for a mixing console on each
channel, but AEQ FORUM also offers a wide range of possibilities for routing and processing,
beyond the physical options included in each channel. These possibilities have been distributed
in a logical manner within internal menus accessible from the main screen of the Control and
Monitoring section.
The operation is intuitive, always beginning with pressing the “SELECT” button on the channel
that you want to process and moving to the main screen of the Control and Monitoring section
of the console to accomplish the activations or adjustments. For further details please refer to
chapter 3.4.3.1 of this manual.
2.1.1.3. Channel display.
Each of the 12, 8 or 4 channels (depending on the AEQ FORUM configuration ordered)
integrates a two-colour OLED display (yellow/black) showing:
• Name of the associated audio signal (maximum 6 characters,
editable via the configuration software). For more information see
chapter “4. CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE” of this manual.
• Status of balance between left (L) and right signal (R) in stereo
signals (or panoramic for monophonic signals).
