Mix bus and zones

Mix Bus

Sidebar: Mix Bus
Address: /#/audio/mixbus

Four mix buses, default names Mix Bus 1–4. Click a name to rename it (23 characters).

Each bus has eight send sliders:

  1. Analogue 1–4 (using the current input names)
  2. Digital 1–4
Control Range
Send level −80.0 to 0.0 dB, 0.5 dB steps

At −80 dB the slider greys out and the value reads Mute / −∞ dB.

Practical notes

  • A mix is only heard when a zone (or an expansion output) selects that mix as its source.
  • Mix buses do not have their own EQ or meter.

Zones

Sidebar: Zones
Address: /#/audio/zones

Four zones, default names Zone 1–4. The 2RU front panel lists them as ZONE 1–4.

Each zone card:

Control Range
Source Analogue 1–4, Digital 1–4, Mix Bus 1–4, or Generator
Level −80.0 to +6.0 dB, 0.5 dB steps
Meter Live zone detector from the DSP

Factory default: Zone n sources Analogue n at 0 dB.

Using zones

A zone is the last mix point before the power amplifier. Typical uses:

  • One zone per room, each fed from its own input or from a mix
  • Several speaker outputs listening to the same zone so a room with multiple speakers stays at one level
  • A zone set to Generator while you time or check a loudspeaker
