Direct output
The direct output section provides an internal connection to effects etc. or a way of
leaving the control centre via an I/O box. It allows you to take a signal directly out of a
defined point in the input channel’s signal path and route it to either an internal
assignable effect or a physical output (a physical connection at one of the line I/O
boxes). This function is optional and assigned on a channel-by-channel basis.
This section is deliberately distanced from the main channel panel controls because it is
a limited resource and unused on many channels.
Selection of signal path position (item 4) and destination (item 5) can only be carried
out via the GUI.

1 MUTE switch, mutes any assigned direct
output by removing signal from the output.
However, it will not operate (will remain
illuminated) if nothing is assigned. It is
included in the scene recall system but is not
affected by the channel mute safe or the auto-
mute masters (unless the source tap-off point
is after the main channel mute).
2 Solo B switch, changes the operation of
the SOLO switch so that it routes signals to the
monitor B section of the control centre.
3 SOLO switch, activates signal routing to
the Monitor A section of the control centre.
4 Tap-off point diagram, shows where the
direct output is sourced from in the signal
path, as selected by the mode button (see
item 6).
5 dest button, opens the Patching screen
so that you can select the destination of the
direct output.
6 Mode button, changes the source tap-off
point for the signal. There are three options:
post-fader and mute; pre-mute and
post-processing; or pre-mute and
pre-processing. This function is not used if the
direct output is not unassigned to channel.
7 10-LED meter, monitors the direct output
level in the range +18dB to -36dB.
8 Control knob, adjusts direct output level.
Range is infinity (∞) to 10dB.
9 assigned LED, illuminates when a direct
output is in use.
10 Quick access button, selects the channel
and assigns the configuration processing area
to the GUI channel strip.
11 Direct output drop-down list, for
displaying the destination(s) of the direct
output. For example, to an O/B vehicle, while
simultaneously going into a DN9696.
