FOH and MON
Each PRO Series can be used as a front of house (FOH) or stage monitor (MON) system.
System buses
The PRO Series has comprehensive system buses to suit demanding applications,
comprising:
• 6-off solo buses, routable from all locations and allowing for dual operator and 5.1
use.
• 3-off master buses, routable from the mic/line inputs (up to 80), eight aux inputs
and 16 aux buses.
• Up to 16-off matrix buses, routable from the mic/line inputs (up to 80), eight aux
inputs, 16 aux buses and three master buses.
• 16-off aux buses, routable from the mic/line inputs (up to 80) and eight aux inputs.
All of the bus routings provide simultaneous and time aligned mixing of all the sources,
which will be defeatable for minimum latency requirements.
For monitor mixing, the master, matrix and aux buses can all be routed directly from
the input channels, with independent level controls providing up to 35 monitor mix
buses.
For traditional FOH sub group mixing, any (or all) of the aux buses can change to
operate post-channel fader and pan (that is, aux gain fixed at unity).
Auxiliary inputs have two modes of operation: effects return and input channel. In
input channel mode (default) they will have aux, master and matrix routing, insert
points and EQ (like regular inputs channels), but no dynamic capability. They are
controlled like regular inputs from the input bay and channel strip, and are time aligned
to the stage like regular input channels. In effects return mode the channels have
routing to matrix and masters only and no insert or dynamic capability. They are
controlled from the aux return area and time aligned to the effects engines.
