Tab. 8.2: Front/rear/stage monitors routing

For front of house route all channels to the MIX-B bus > main mix. For live P.A.

eects use auxes 3/4/5/6. For wedge monitors use aux 1 and 2 in pre mode > aux

1and 2 output. For sidells use phones 1 output. For inll for guitarist, keyboard

player and drummer use su/jointfilesconvert/347833/bgroups 1/2, 3/4 and 7/8.

◊ No su/jointfilesconvert/347833/bgrouping is used as a mixing aid to the FOH mix.

◊ Infill sends use up one group pair each as a consequence of the routing

matrix being dependent on the channel PANpot ((P24 )).

◊ All channels should be set for: aux 1/2: PRE ((S13) DOWN) > WEDGES;

aux 3/4/5/6: POST ((S16) UP) > FX; MIX-B SOURCE = CHANNEL ((S23) DOWN);

FLIP = Mic/Line SIGNAL ((S3) UP)

◊ In a quadrophonic setup MIX-B should be kept separate from the main

mix ((S48) UP).

OK: This example has been extreme. Chances are if you were touring with the

sort of PA / multitrack described above you’d also have a massive FOH console,

separate foldback mixer, and a rider that would make Bill Graham blanche.

Noneof the applications examples are designed to be used as a BLUEPRINT.

Rather, they should give you some idea of the scope and exibility of your

EURODESK SX4882. Use your imagination to nd novel ways of solving problems

and creating extra facilities.

19. Expanding the EURODESK

19.1 Connections

The EXPANDER PORT is input only, and provides access to all but the PFL/SOLO

buses. Since the nominal internal operating level of your EURODESK SX4882 is

0dB, and that at the jack outputs +4dB, the sends from the outputs of console

2must be attenuated by +4dB if unity gain between it and the primary console

is to be maintained. Wiring is as follows:

EURODESK 2 > -4dB > EURODESK 1

Subgroup outputs 1 to 8 EXPANDER PORT su/jointfilesconvert/347833/bgroup inputs 1 to 8

Aux outputs 1 to 6 EXPANDER PORT aux inputs 1 to 6

Main mix output EXPANDER PORT main mix inputs

MIX-B output EXPANDER PORT MIX-B input

Another

> -XdB > EURODESK 1

Subgroup outputs 1 to 8 EXPANDER PORT su/jointfilesconvert/347833/bgroup inputs 1 to 8

Aux outputs 1 to 6 EXPANDER PORT aux inputs 1 to 6

Main mix output EXPANDER PORT main mix inputs

MIX-B output EXPANDER PORT MIX-B input

19.2 Alignment

To nd out the value of “X” align the consoles in the following way. Patch a 1 kHz

sine tone (or play a sustained B above middle C on a keyboard) into a channel

on each console. Set up each console so that the signal produces unity gain

(0dB) at every output (use each console’s PFL or equivalent function to do this).

Now, connect the outputs of the second console into the EURODESK EXPANDER

PORT. Mute the channel on the EURODESK carrying the signal, and look at the

EURODESK outputs. Systematically adjust the reading on each bus until they all

read 0 dB by adjusting the master send levels of console 2 (i.e.: master aux send

controls, main mix master faders, su/jointfilesconvert/347833/bgroup faders, etc.).

20. Timecode

In analog multitrack recording timecode usually goes down on the edge of the

tape: track 8, 16 or 24, with the adjacent track left clear (GUARD BAND) to stop

bleeding between recorded tracks and code. Digital formats do not waste any

audio tracks on timecode: a separate sync is provided.

Ideally, timecode should be patched from the multitrack out directly into the

synchronizer input. Normally, a 24 track tape is striped with timecode before a

session commences. Any sequenced music, click track, mix automation is then

referenced to it.

Always check sync before laying down any sequenced music: record a click

track, then check to see that a “live” playback doesn’t drift. Timecode comes

in various formats. The general rule is: format (and make/model) of timecode

generator must be matched to the reader. This shouldn’t be a problem if

recording and mixing take place in-house and under one roof. It’s when tapes

move around that problems arise (be sure to include every conceivable technical

detail on a tracksheet accompanying the master tape). Fortunately,thereare

ways to generate fresh in-sync timecode even where none existed in the

rst place, otherwise most remixes would never happen. You would rather

not have to, though, since it takes time, eort, and an intelligent “learning”

synchronizertodo it.

If the gain from the recorder is too low to drive the sync unit,

• re-stripe at a higher level or

• amplify the recorded timecode somehow, possibly via a desk channel not

routed to any of the main buses. In this case use the channel’s direct out to

drive the synchronizer’s input, in order to keep the timecode as remote as

possible from the audio (timecode crosses over like nothing else we know).
