Matrix Mixer Family is Growing
Posted: Thu Jul 25, 2019 11:54 pm
Hi There,
I have developed a couple of new devices for what is now a family of Matrix Mixer type devices.
The first is a little brother of the Matrix Mixer
It has 8 Channels and 4 busses.
Everything else is pretty much the same as its bigger brother.
I use this myself on my Pulsar card and also for stemming work.
The other device is not a mixer at all, but a signal distributor, aimed primarily at sending various mixes to FOH, Foldback and IEM for individual monitoring.
There might be other uses, but not sure at this stage.
It features up to 16 mono inputs which can be outed to 16 mono or 8 stereo outputs (no mixing of channels here, you can only select one input at a time per output channel).
Given that an engineer will want to setup and monitor individual outputs, there is a stereo Phones out as well.
Like the channels, the Phone outs may be managed as monos or a stereo pair and they monitor the 'Outputs' of each channel.
It may be a little confusing when you first use this device that the phones are monitoring outputs not inputs.
If, say, Ch 3 & 4 are set to receive a stereo mix for the guitarist, coming in on inputs 11 & 12, then to monitor this mix set the phones to stereo and select outputs 3 & 4 as the source (not 11 & 12).
You can also turn off extra channels to save on DSP usage.
BTW this device does not support the setting up of the various mixes. That has to happen in other mixers in the project.I hope this has some application for scope users, although I realise that not everyone works live with a sciope system.
