Quick Reference Guide
Chapter 2: PRO6 Live Audio System
This chapter gives an overview of the PRO6 Live Audio System.
Introducing the PRO6
The PRO6 Live Audio System is a mid-range system that is the heart of the PRO Series.
It has 64 simultaneous input processing channels with up to 35 discrete mixes in
monitor mode. The PRO6 is expandable to 288 inputs and 294 outputs, all of which can
be patched/routed on a scene-by-scene basis by the powerful snapshot automation
system.
The I/O options include the fixed configuration DL251 Audio System I/O at the stage
box end to the DL431 Mic Splitter (24-channel x 5-way), with the full range of module
options (DL441 analogue input (mic) module, DL442 analogue output module, DL443
analogue Jack I/O module, DL444 8 analogue mic in and 8 analogue line out module
and DL452 AES/EBU input and output module).
Further flexibility can be added to the system by utilising a Klark Teknik DN9650
Network Bridge digital format converter offering MADI and Dante connectivity.
The PRO6 is fully upgradable to the specification of a PRO9.
