Using Setups

The third way to set up your M20d inputs, outputs and channel assignments is to load a

Setup. A Setup is deﬁned as the current conﬁguration of all M20d inputs and outputs, all

FX and channel settings, levels, mutes, pans, monitor levels, footswitch assignments, L6

LINK settings and your stage icon layout.

The most recent Setup is persistent in M20d internal memory, and it will automatically be

loaded at power up. So if you’ve previously conﬁgured your M20d, your Setup at power up

will be exactly as you left it during your last session. And if you’ve previously saved one or

more Setups, you can recall and load any one of them by tapping the Setups button in the

Main Toolbar. (See Page 2•9 for more details on saving and loading Setups).

All I/O Panel graphic jacks in the Setup will be assigned as you last saved them, and will

be displayed as either amber (if not yet connected) or green (if connected). Your previous

stage icons and channel names will also be retained.

I/O Panel

The I/O Panel in Setup Mode is essentially a mirror image of the physical M20d’s I/O

Panel. It displays all your input and output connections and enables you to swap them

around, if needed, via the touchscreen UI. To zoom in on the I/O Panel just tap it in the

Main Toolbar. This gives you access to the +48V buttons.

+48 V Buttons

When using condenser microphones, you may need +48V power. The M20d provides this

via the +48V power buttons when you zoom in on the I/O Panel. The top +48V button

powers the top row of Mic inputs, and the bottom +48V button powers the bottom row.

I/O Reassignment

On occassion you may ﬁnd that you need to reassign an instrument to a different input, or

a stage monitor to a different output. Suppose you have ideal channel settings for Input 1

prior to connecting any microphones or instruments to the M20d, and it happens that the

instrument intended for Input 1 has been connected to Input 4. You may be inclined to
