Chapter 2: Modules and Configuration Overview
This chapter identifies each of the S6 modules, and tells you how and where they can be arranged within a system. Use this infor-
mation to determine your module layout before proceeding with the assembly.
There are two primary types of modules in a system, Master modules and Channel modules.
Master Section Modules
The S6 Master Module and S6 Automation Module are often installed in the same chassis to form a master section.
Master Module
The Master Module is the primary module of the system, providing the Touchscreen, two banks of Soft Keys, a monitoring section
and other controls. Each system must have one Master Module. There are two models of Master Module (M10 and M40) that are
used in S6 M10 or S6 M40 systems, respectively. They share identical controls and features, the only difference are the number of
other modules they each support, and the number of workstations that can be connected.
S6 M10 Systems These systems include an M10 Master Module that supports up to 10 other S6 modules, and up to two attached
workstations. S6 M10 systems accommodate 8 to 24 faders per frame and are suitable for smaller configurations. Display Modules
are not supported on S6 M10 systems.
S6 M40 Systems These system include an M40 Master Module that supports up to 40 S6 channel modules and up to 64 fader strips,
including Display Modules. M40 systems support up to eight attached workstations.
