Tie lines allow you to pass audio directly from any available input source to one or
multiple outputs and have many applications including:
• Sending unprocessed (post socket analogue preamp) audio whilst simultaneously
sending processed audio from the direct out (such as when multitrack recording
and using a ME personal monitoring system at the same time).
• Setting up digital splits for front of house and monitor or broadcast setups.
• Sending an ambient microphone (not required in any mix) to USB or option card
for recording without using up an input channel.
To protect preamp settings for sockets not assigned to input channels on scene
changes, block ‘Tie Line Only Preamps’ in Global or Scene recall filters.
