About the Unit’s Mixing Engine
The M-5000 is provided with internal audio paths for 128 channels.
These paths can freely be used as either input channels or
output buses. You, the user, can assign these any way you like.

audio paths, and plan accordingly.

5 INPUT CHANNEL
5 MAIN
5 SUBGROUP
5 AUX
5 MIX-MINUS
5 MATRIX
5 Monitor
5 Talkback/Talkback return
5 Oscillator

MINUS, and MATRIX) to a total of 124 paths.
