Quick Reference Guide
>> To load a preset
1 Make sure that the channel in which you want to load the settings of the preset is
assigned to the channel strip, then click load preset.
2 In the Load Preset window, click the desired preset.
3 Click OK.
Surround panning
In addition to stereo and left-
centre-right (LCR) panning, the
control centre has three surround
panning modes: quad; left,
centre, right and surround
(LCRS); and 5.1 surround.
To help you visualise the
surround panning envelope, the
masters processing area of the
GUI channel strip has a spatial
diagram (shown right) that
updates in real time when you
operate the panning controls.
The surround panning modes are operated via a surround monitoring system, which
uses matrix channels 1 to 6 as the surround bus channels. The channels are muted via
six MUTE buttons in the master bay. Control centre monitor output connections are via
the surround, sub, centre and front XLRs on the rear panel.
The 5.1 panning mode uses all six channels, while quad mode uses four (left and right
on both the front and surround). Although the LCRS mode uses five channels (front left
and right, centre and surround left and right), both surround channels are the same.
(In an LCRS surround panning arrangement, you can have a single surround speaker
positioned directly behind the listener.)
In surround mode, the SIS button routes the channel to the surround buses in much
the same way that the ST button routes to the master buses.
Figure 13 “5.1 surround panning arrangement” on page 65 shows the location of the
surround MUTE buttons and their matrix channel allocation, and shows the allocation of
the surround MUTE buttons per loudspeaker and the recommended
1
5.1 surround
system configuration.
>> To select the surround panning mode
1 At a GUI screen, choose homePreferencesGeneral to open the
Preferences screen.
2 In the Surround Mode section, select the desired surround mode.
