4. CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
The AEQ FORUM is ready for use once the mixer inputs and outputs have been properly
connected.
The console is shipped with the Audio input and output modules as requested by each
customer. However, the name tags used for the channel audio inputs and outputs are generic
(MIC1, ANA 03, DIG 05 ...) and routing and effects programmed are AEQ standard that are
used for functional testing of the console, whereas these settings may not be entirely to the
preferences of the client.
