General

• 96kHz 40-bit floating-point phase-coherent beginning to end.
• Runs in either FOH mode, MON mode or advanced mode.
• The DL251 stage box is included, with 48 inputs and 16 outputs.
• In addition to normal stereo mode, it supports several surround sound modes.

Channels, Buses and Groups

• Input channels (64x):
  • Mic/line inputs (56x): Inputs with Midas mic preamps, either physically on the console or on a stage box.
  • FX returns (8x): Internal effects returns.
• Mix buses (27x):
  • Aux buses (16x):
    • Mainly for grouping of inputs and then sending them to either an output or another bus, e.g. for monitors and auxillary sends.
    • Can only source input channels.
    • Taps inputs pre-fader, post-fader or in subgroup mode (100% send from all chosen inputs).
    • Can be routed into matrix or master buses depending on the bus mode.
  • Matrix buses (8x):
    • Mainly for modifying existing buses and outputting them to different destinations, e.g. for PA zones (EQ and timing changes) and auxillary sends.
    • Can source input channels, aux buses and master buses. Sourcing input channels directly allows adding extra inputs to existing mixes, e.g. an audience or talkback mic.
    • Taps inputs post-fader.
    • Can not be routed into any other bus, only used for outputs.
  • Master buses (3x):
    • Dedicated left, right and mono (center) outputs.
    • Can be routed into matrix buses.
• Variable Control Association (VCA) groups (8x):
  • TODO
• Mix Control Association (MCA) groups (192x):
  • TODO
  • Only available in advanced mode.
• Population (pop) groups (6x):
  • Used for grouping inputs in arbitrary groups (similar to VCAs, but without control features).
• All buses (except mono) can be linked as a stereo pair.

Dynamics

• TODO Compressors, EQ.
