Estimating System Requirements
This section helps estimate the system requirements for a particular installation. Contact a 
Euphonix representative for an exact specification. Use following categories to determine 
the System 5 components necessary for your studio. Most of the studio details considered 
here are relevant to any digital mixing system.
Number of DF64 Digital Frames
Some examples of Mixer Models and their relationship to the number of DF64s are shown 
below.
Table 1-1 DF64 Requirements 
NOTE: Table 1-1 refers to logical audio channels not inputs. See Inputs on page 10 
to see how to count logical channels based on the number and type of inputs.
Number of CM408 Eight-channel Sections
One application may require a small, powerful console to control many inputs from a small 
number of faders. Other applications may trade console size for the power of accessing 
each input quickly without having to swap the fader or recall a Layout. Specify enough 
physical faders to conveniently control the required number of inputs.
