USB 2 — Another popular example of USB routing would be to route each of the 32 post-DSP inputs to USB
1-32. This would be used in a situation similar to a “live” recording at a rehearsal studio where processing is
added immediately to the recording. See below.
DANTE 1 — Dante is useful for recording. For this purpose the Dante output routing is similar
to that of the previously discussed USB output and its routing. Simply route, mic pres 1-32 [source]
to Dante 1-32 [destination].
Routing to Dante requires a Dante card (available separately).
DANTE 2 — The other common use for Dante is routing signals throughout a venue by connecting
to enabled Dante amps and speakers. Here you might patch it a little like this: aux sends 1-14 [source]
to Dante 1-14 [destination], matrix 1-6 [source] to Dante 15-20 [destination] and main L/R [source]
to Dante 21-22 [destination].
If you need more information regarding the matrix, please refer to pages 72-77.
Routing to Dante requires a Dante card (available separately).
TALKBACK — When the selected tab is talkback, there is only one source...talkback! All you need to do here
is select the destination(s). This is where everyone will hang onto every word you mutter.
One might send talkback [source] to the main L/R and matrix [destinations]. Here the house manager might
make an announcement that the second half of the play is about to start, that a lost child is looking for their
parents or to thank everyone for coming once the show ends.
Talkback may also be sent to aux sends. This is handy when a band is soundchecking. The engineer will tell
the drummer, “kick”...”snare”...”toms”...”full kit”, setting levels for each. This way the talkback is only sent to the
drummer via an aux send. Then bass, guitars, vocals, etc. levels are checked the same way.
There is more information about talkback (and the quick access panel, in general) on pages 195-196.
