* From a hardware point of view, six codec modules, and therefore six channels, remain
available on the backplane. However, it is possible to increase the number of connected
record channels by connecting distinct recorders to the main and the secondary IN
connector of a codec module. Such configurations, called 2R/CM (2 recorders per codec
module) are detailed in the Configuration manual, Supported Configurations chapter.
