the GUI screens can be used to operate the whole control centre, even if none of the
control surface hardware is working. The unit offers the facility of universal input, N+1
redundant power supplies with three latching mains connectors.
Bay and GUI layout
The control centre has four discrete bays that house the following control surface
controls:
• Input bays (12-channel and 4-channel) — two input bays provide fast access to
input faders and important signal processing controls.
• Mix bay — provides access to outputs and groups, a detailed processing controller
(all channels) and navigational controls.
• Master bay — provides access to the master output mixes, monitor (A and B)
faders, automation, comms control, assignable effects control, and another set of
detailed processing and navigational controls.

Two GUI display screens at the top of the central bays provide extensive screen support
(standard configuration) and extra functionality for the channels and buses. For
example, when mixing or processing. They also facilitate the use of the GUI menu,
which gives you access to the many powerful features of the control centre, such as
patching, effects, GEQs, diagnostics etc.
