Introduction
1.2 Overview of the System Components
1.2.1
1.2.2
DF64 Digital Audio Frame
The DF64 Digital Frame performs all System 5-B audio processing: dynamics, EQ, bus-
ses (mix, record, aux, and monitor). System 5-B uses one Mixer Model (one DF64 with
a SH612 Studio Hub), which has the following characteristics: 96 channels, 24 groups/
clean feeds, 16 aux sends, 24 Mix sections and 24 external inputs).
Analog and Digital I/O
The engineer has complete freedom to decide how to route sources and destinations to
the console, which easily handles 448 digital and analog sources.
Digital and analog I/O units connect all devices via MADI. All audio signals are con-
verted to and from the MADI format through analog and digital converters. The System
5-B includes eight MADI Inputs and six MADI Outputs. Each 75-Ω coaxial MADI ca-
ble can carry up to 56 channels of 24-bit digital audio at 44.1 or 48 kHz. These MADI
inputs and outputs appear at the console’s internal router/patchbay. See Console I/O on
page 55 for more information.
Microphone Inputs
Microphone inputs are handled by the ML530 Mic/Line Interfaces. Each unit contains
24 remote-controlled microphone preamps. Each ML530 is connected to a dedicated
AM713 Analog to MADI Converter. A single system can include up to seven ML530s.
Monitoring
The MC524 Monitor Controller provides the following analog monitor outputs:
•
•
•
Control Room Monitoring: Main (7.1), Alt 1 (5.1), and Alt 2 (stereo)
Studio Monitoring: SLS (7.1), and Cues 1–3 (each stereo)
Two talkback preamps and four listen microphone preamps
The MC524 is connected to a dedicated MA703 MADI to Analog Converter.

Introduction
1.2.3
Control Surface
System 5-B features a professional modular control surface that can be easily config-
ured to suit a variety of operational layouts. The control surface connects to the DF64
Digital Frame via ethernet and the EuCon Hub; audio does not pass through the control
surface.
The System 5-B control surface consists of a CM401 master section, a CM402 center
section and multiple CM408 modules.
Channels and Strips
A CM408 module contains eight identical Strips. The Strip is the physical control
area on the console that contains keys, knobs, displays, and a fader. A Channel per-
forms all of the signal processing (EQ, dynamics, routing, gain, etc.). System 5-B has
96 channels, each of which may be assigned to a Strip. Each Strip has room for Swap
and Main channels that can be toggled by pressing the Swap button. System 5-B al-
lows tremendous flexibility assigning and controlling channels.
Channel Format
Most analog consoles are limited to mono or stereo channels. System 5-B supports
mono and stereo channels as well as Multi Format Masters (LCRS, 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1)
with multiple channels (see Chapter 8: Control Groups and Multi Format Masters).
1.3 Additional Hardware Components
The following hardware devices are also used in System 5-B:
•
•
System Computer (SC261): Runs the eMix software application; all file man-
agement and system setup is done from this computer.
Interface Pilot Computer (PC253i): Supervises control functions for the an-
alog monitor controller, remote microphone preamps, and transport control.
•
•
Digital Pilot Computer (PC253d): Controls the DF64 digital audio frame.
Studio Hub (SH612): This optional device can be used to add additional MADI
ports to route audio to and from the DF64 digital audio frame.
NOTE: This brief description to the System 5-B hardware components is intended to
introduce the reader to the audio path in and out of the system. More detailed
information about all of the hardware is covered in the System 5-B Technical
Manual.

System 5-B Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual
Introduction
1.4 System 5-B Startup Sequence
With all system components turned off:
1. Turn on the SC261 System Computer, the SH612 Studio Hub(s), all I/O units,
the MIDI Interface, the TT007 and the GP132.
2. At the Windows Login Screen press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click OK or press
Enter.
There is no Administrator password.
3. The System Computer will finish booting to the Windows desktop.
With the system computer booted and the SH612 Studio Hub(s), all I/O units, the MIDI
Interface, and the GP132 turned on:
1. Double-click the eMix icon on the desktop.
2. Turn on all of the Surface Modules, the PC253i Interface Pilot, all PC253d dig-
ital Pilots and the DF64s.
3. If the modules on the system have previously been saved as default, eMix will
continue to boot when all modules reach 100%.
4. If modules appear as Unexpected, the user can select all of the modules by
holding down the Ctrl key and clicking each of them. When all modules are
selected, click Save selected as default, and confirm the selection by clicking
OK.
5. Click Continue to finish booting eMix.
Since System 5-B has been designed for live, on-air applications, the system is designed

This section describes how to set up basic PatchNet settings. This process includes
naming the device inputs and outputs and connecting group bus outputs to multitrack
inputs. The setup process is equivalent to setting and labeling the normalled connec-
tions on a conventional patch.
NOTE: To clarify the use of the terms Inputs and Outputs in PatchNet, Device per-
tains to equipment other than the System 5-B console. Therefore, Device In-
puts refers to inputs to an external device, not the console.

The following Euphonix devices provide a robust and complete I/O interface:
•
•
•
•
The DM714 (AES/EBU-to-MADI) and MD704 (MADI-to-AES/EBU) converters
provide 26 channels of digital I/O.
The AM713 (analog-to-MADI) and MA703 (MADI-to-analog) converters
provide 26 fixed-gain channels of analog I/O.
The ML530 provides 24 remote, variable gain, analog, mic/line preamps that
can be controlled from the Strip on the console surface.
The FC727 and FC726 provide 56 channels of digital format conversion.
Some equipment, such as the Euphonix R-1, the Sony 3348HR recorder, and some high
end consoles, offer a MADI interface. Most other equipment, however, (i.e., mics,
speakers, DAWs that support AES/EBU and vintage gear) must have their inputs and
outputs converted to and from MADI using the appropriate Euphonix converter.
PatchNet allows connections between the console and external devices in exactly the
same way as a conventional analog patchbay. The crucial difference is that once a patch
is made it can be saved and recalled with the Title.
NOTE: To clarify the use of the terms Inputs and Outputs in PatchNet, Device per-
tains to equipment other than the System 5-B console. Therefore, Device In-
puts refers to inputs to an external device, not the console.

In an analog studio, the patchbay is hardwired to all the equipment supplied with the
room. The multitrack is normalled to the console line inputs, the mics to the console
mic inputs, and the outboard gear is ready to be patched into channels.
System 5-B must be initially set up so all studio equipment appears on the PatchNet
screen labelled and normalled correctly for a session. This basic wiring information is
stored in the Title Default so these settings can be used when starting a new session with
a new Title. To set up the System 5-B studio wiring and set the Title Default, see Title
Enter PatchNet by clicking the PatchNet tab at the bottom of the eMix screen. PatchNet
has four categories: Console I/O, Device Inputs, Device Outputs, and Cabling.
4.2.1
Console I/O
Click Console I/O on the upper-left of the PatchNet window, then click A and B Inputs
for a channel. This is where connections to the channel’s A and B inputs are made.

4.2.2
Device Inputs and Outputs
There are up to 12 MADI device input/output ports on the console, each carrying up to
56 channels (44.1/48 kHz) or 28 channels (96 kHz).
NOTE: To clarify the use of the terms Inputs and Outputs in PatchNet, Device per-
tains to equipment other than the System 5-B console. Therefore, Device In-
puts refers to inputs to an external device, not the console.
4.2.3
Cabling
This category handles MADI cable connections for the ML530 Mic/Line Interfaces.
Mic/Line Interface Patching
For mic inputs and analog inputs not at +4 dB, the Euphonix ML530 provides 24
preamps each with gain, phantom power, high-pass filter, and hiZ/loZ switching. The
analog outputs are connected to an AM713 Analog to MADI converter which then con-
nects to one of the MADI inputs on the SH612 Studio Hub.

For each ML530, PatchNet needs to know which MADI input the associated AM713 is
connected to so the mic preamp parameters appear on the corresponding input channel
knobset. For each Mic/Line Interface, note how it is connected. In the following exam-
ple, two ML530s are each connected to an AM713. The two AM713s have been con-
nected to the inputs of the SH612 at Hub1-1 and Hub1-2, respectively.
1. Select Cabling in PatchNet.
2. Select the MADI Out Ports sub-category.
The list shows 7 Mic/Line Interfaces but only configure those wired to the Hub
(i.e., Mic1 and Mic2).
3. Click and drag through the cells to the right of Mic1 and Mic2.
The cells highlight and the names appear in the Sources column of the Select-
ed: window below.
4. Select the MADI In Ports sub-category.
5. Click and drag through the cells to the right of the two Hub1 inputs (Hub1-1
and Hub1-2).
The cells highlight and the names appear in the Destinations column of the Se-
lected: window below.
6. Click the Patch button to make the patch.
PatchNet now knows how the two mic/line interfaces are connected so the proper input
parameters appear at the top of the channels they are connected to.
Because Hub1-1 and Hub1-2 have been designated as MADI connections to the Mic/Line
interfaces, clicking on the Hub1-1 and Hub1-2 sub-categories in Device Outputs show
Device Patch in the first 24 cells and will not allow selection unless they are unpatched.

feed from the Monitor Interface.
Talkback Signal Patching
The two talkback mics are wired to the MC524 Monitor Controller. They are summed
and amplified to produce a single talkback signal. This analog signal must be fed into
the system through an AM713 Analog to MADI converter.
To send talkback to the busses, this signal must be patched to the Slate Input (in the
Utility Destinations subcategory of the Console I/O category). Note which AM713
analog-to-MADI converter input the talkback signal has been hardwired to and patch
that channel to the Slate Input.

4.6 Folddown
Click the Folddown tab at the bottom of any eMix window to display the Folddown
window (Figure 4-19). This window allows you to set rules by which one monitor output
format (Format In along the left) is converted to a different format (Format Out on top).
For example, to convert a 5.1-channel mix to LCRS, you could map the Boom channel
to all channels attenuated by 6 dB and the Sl and Sr to the S channel without attenuation.
To maintain all audio information present in the original format, each Format In
channel is usually mapped to some channel(s) in the Format Out. However, this is not
mandatory: One might choose to omit the Boom channel because the speakers in the
output format cannot handle bass below a certain frequency.
Click in any cell and type in the amount of attenuation (-17 tο 0 dB) that the Format In
channel will undergo as it is routed to the Format Out channel. Click and drag across
multiple cells to enter an amount for all selected cells. Right-click on selected cells to
display a menu with two options:
•
•
Clear: Clears values so no signal is routed.
Default: Sets cells to their factory default values. This occurs even in a stored
preset.
There are 24 presets available to store and recall different Folddown settings. The Recall
Preset and Store Preset buttons are on the top-right of the window.

5.2 Communications
System 5-B’s communication system includes:
•
Two talkback microphone inputs (one mic included).
Each input has 111 dB of gain, phantom power, and a compressor. The talk-
back mics can be mounted anywhere but normally Tbk1 is mounted near the
engineer and Tbk2 near the client. Talkback can be routed to Mon A–D, the
Aux busses and the Main sections (via the Slate function). Tbk2 shares the
same routing as Tbk1 when it is turned on. Talkback can be remotely triggered
to Mon A–D.
•
•
Four listenback mic inputs.
Each input has phantom power and compressor. They can be routed to the
monitors and have individual level controls.
Oscillator with Slate facilities.
The oscillator has four fixed frequencies at 100 Hz, 440 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, and
a user-selectable frequency. The oscillator can also generate pink or white
noise. The oscillator can be routed to the Group, Aux, or Main sections, or to
all busses simultaneously. The Slate function combines Tbk1 and Tbk2 with a
user-definable tone to identify takes.
NOTE: The Listenback mics are routed directly within the Monitor Interface (MC524)
so they do not appear in PatchNet.
Access the communications facilities by pressing the Comms Ctrl key in the Solo Ctrl
Aux key at bottom-right to set the talkback settings for the Aux busses. When display-

Solo Level
The Solo knob controls the solo level (APL and PFL modes) sent to the speakers or the
Solo Output in PatchNet. The level is indicated on the LEDs surrounding the knob. The
LED in the center of the knob flashes when a channel is soloed.

All solo channels can be cleared using either of these methods:
•
•
Press the switch in the center of the Solo knob.
Press the Clear key on the bottom-right of the Solo Control Panel.

Intercancel, Momentary, and Sum
The Solo keys on the Strips sum by default: the Sum key is illuminated when the Solo
Control Panel is first displayed. This means that multiple channels can be soloed by
pressing additional Solo keys. Soled channels must then be explicitly cleared. There are
two other options available in the Solo Control Panel that control the Solo key:
•
•
Momentary: The Solo key must be held down but multiple channels can be
simultaneously active.
Intercancel: Pressing each new Solo key clears the last solo channel and
activates the new one.
5.3.5
Solo Speaker Selection
The APL and PFL solo signals can be routed to the following speakers by activating
their respective keys in the Solo Control Panel:
•
Solo>None: This still routes signal to the MC524’s cue speaker outputs. This
is an important feature for broadcasters.
•
•
•
Solo>Alt1: The Solo signal is sent to the Alt1 speaker.
Solo>Alt2: The Solo signal is sent to the Alt2 speaker.
Solo>Flw: The Solo signal follows the active control room speaker selection
(Main, Alt1, or Alt2).
5.3.6
Solo Speaker Dim
In APL and PFL modes, the speakers not fed by the Solo signal can be dimmed. Press
the DimCR key in the Solo Control Panel.

Solo-Safe
Solo-Safe is used with the SIP mode and has no effect in APL or PFL modes. SIP mode
effectively mutes all channels except the soloed channel. Designating a channel Solo-
Safe allows it through to the main busses even when another signal is soloed. Solo signals
can be heard with effects if the effects returns are designated Solo-Safe.
1. Press the Solo-Safe key in the Solo Control Panel.
2. Press the Chan Select key of the channel to make Solo-Safe.
The Chan Select key flashes to show it has been made Solo-Safe. The chan-
nel’s Solo key also lights dimly when in Solo-safe mode.
3. Press additional Chan Select keys.
4. Press the Solo-Safe key again or another Solo Control Panel key to exit the mode.

Backstop PFL
The System 5-B’s faders have a backstop PFL switch past the bottom of their travel.
Press Solo Ctrl on the Center Section to open the Solo Control Panel and select Back-
stop PFL to enable this feature. Pull and hold a fader past the bottom of its travel to
route the signal’s PFL level to the Solo bus. Release the fader to cancel its routing to the
Solo bus. Backstop PFL does not affect normal solo operations and can be used on Con-
trol Group and Multi Format master faders to PFL a group of channels. Deactivate Back-
stop PFL in the Solo Control Panel to cancel the mode.

To select the same meter configuration for multiple Strips, press another Strip’s Wave
key after configuring the first Strip. Because each meter’s signal is automatically incre-
mented by one, set the lowest numbered Strip first and then set additional Strips con-
secutively. For the dual meter example above, pressing Strip 2’s Wave key assigns
Group Bus 2 to the upper meter and Strip 2’s fader to the bottom meter. If Strip 3’s
Wave key was pressed instead of Strip 2, Group Bus 2 would still be assigned to Strip
3’s upper meter.

Master Section Meters
Figure 5-12 Master section meters showing 5.1-channel CR and Aux Busses 1–8
The TFT screen above the center section shows two meters, one above another. The up-
per meter automatically shows the selected monitor output format. For example, if the
Control Room is monitoring Main Bus A and it is a 5.1-channel format, the meter au-
tomatically displays 5.1 channels.
The lower meter automatically displays whatever is currently assigned to the Bus Mas-
ter Strip: Aux, Main, or Group Masters, Mon A, B, C, D, or Solo Master. The meter
displays the eight meters corresponding to the Bus Master knobset. If there are more
than eight masters, use the WX keys on the Bus Master Strip to change pages. For ex-
ample, if Group Bus Masters 9–16 are on the knobset, the meters display these auto-
matically. Press the Mon A–D Source or the Solo Ctrl switches to meter these signals
on the lower meter.

Chapter 6: CM402 Center Section
Master Section (which contains the Center Strip). The purpose of the CM402 is to ex-
pand access to Center Strip channel’s functions so they are more readily available. It
includes the following functional sections, from top to bottom:
•
Bus Routing Panel
Bus routing for the Center Strip’s channel.
Aux, Input, and Filters knobsets with select panel
•
•
The Select Panel determines which functions of the Center Strip’s channel are
displayed on the knobsets.
Dynamics and EQ knobsets
The Center Strip channel’s dynamics and EQ are always displayed on these
knobsets.
•
•
Channel Select Panel
Assigns a channel to the Center Strip.
Eight assignable Strip faders
Although traditionally used for Control Groups, any channel can be assigned
to them using the same techniques to assign a channel to a Strip on the CM408.
Any channel on the console can be displayed on the Center Strip by pressing its Wave
key. The Channel Select Panel can also assign channels to the Center Strip.
Once a channel has been assigned to the Center Strip,

Figure 6-2 Channel Select Panel
The Channel Select Panel provides easy access to any channel or Control Group in the
System 5-B configuration. It defaults to displaying the first 32 channels, each with a
four-character LCD display, ON/Solo, and Channel Select keys.
•
•
The Page keys display additional channels in groups of 32. If the Scroll key is
lit, the Page keys display one new row of channels (eight) instead of 32.
The right key beneath each channel’s LCD display assigns that channel or Con-
trol Group to the Center Strip, replacing the channel in the active layer (Swap
or Main). This key functions identically to a CM408 Strip’s Wave key.
•
•
The Number key toggles between displaying the channel or Control Group
number (key is lit) and the name (key not lit).
The Group key toggles between displaying channels (key not lit) and Control
Groups (key is lit).
The global ON and Solo keys on the bottom of the panel determine whether the left key
on each channel’s controls performs an On/Off or Solo function. The ON and Solo keys
cannot be lit simultaneously and intercancel:
•
•
•
If ON is lit, the key turns the Control Group or Channel On/Off.
If Solo is lit, the key Solos the Control Group or Channel.
If both are unlit, the key has no effect.
NOTE: The Wave key at the far right of the Channel Select Panel is not functional.

The Center Section’s knobsets extend access to the Center Strip’s functions. The two
panels of 16 (4x4) knobs above the Channel Select Panel are dedicated to dynamics
(left) and EQ (right). The two panels of eight (2x4) knobs above the Knobset Control
Panel display different combinations of Aux, Input, and Filters depending on what is
pre-selected from the Knobset Control Panel.

System 5-B Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual
Chapter 7: Busses and Bus Masters
7.1 Introduction to System 5-B Busses
The number of processing cards in the DF64 digital frames and the Mixer Model de-
termine the total number of busses and channels available in a System 5-B configura-
tion. Since there are a finite number of signal paths, more channels = less busses and
source issues.
The System 5-B has four bus types: Main, Group, Aux, and Solo.
Main Busses
Main Busses can be configured in up to 16 Main Sections. Each Main Section can have
between one and eight individual busses (i.e., a stereo pair = two individual busses and
an LCRS set = four individual busses) configured to any format. Main Busses also have
playback returns; Aux and Group busses do not.
Group Busses
Group busses are used to route channels to multitrack recorders, DAWs, mix-minus
feeds, and sub-groups. Group Busses can be configured to any format but are usually
configured as odd/even stereo pairs. With Pan to Group switched out, they act as in-
dividual mono busses.
Auxiliary Sends
Aux sends are used for effects, foldback, and mix-minus feeds. Aux sends can be con-
figured as mono or stereo pairs and can be pre- or post-fader.
Solo Busses
The Solo bus is always configured as a stereo bus. After-Pan Listen (APL) and Pre-Fad-
er Listen (PFL) route signals to the Solo bus. Each Strip’s fader also has a Solo Back-
stop PFL function: move and hold the fader past the bottom of its travel to activate the
information on SIP.

7.2.12 Copy Faders to Aux
A useful technique to create a performer’s monitor mix is to first create the mix on the
faders, which typically feed an output bus, and use those settings as a starting point for
the aux mix.
The fader levels (and pan positions for those faders controlling stereo channels) can be
copied to a selected Aux bus from this panel.
1. Press the Fader Copy button.
2. Press the Aux bus knob that corresponds to the destination the settings are to
be copied.
3. When finished, select a different Aux function.
This effects only those channels on the surface.
7.2.13 Copy Aux to Aux
Creating a performer’s monitor mix can be faster by starting with an existing aux mix
from another performer with similar requirements and copying it to another aux bus.
The settings for one Aux bus can be copied to another from this panel.
1. Press the Aux Copy button.
2. Press the Aux bus knob from which the settings are to be copied.
3. Press the Aux bus knob to which the copied settings are to be pasted.
4. When finished, select other Aux busses to copy or select a different Aux function.
This effects only those channels on the surface.
7.2.14 Aux to Faders
Aux busses are often used to create customized monitor feeds for individual performers.
However, creating a mix on the knobs is not as easy as using the faders, which have finer
control and better visual indication of relative levels. It is now possible to control a select-
ed Aux bus from the faders. Aux busses now have 12 dB of gain to match the range of the
channel fader. After the aux mix is set, the faders are restored to their normal function.
1. Press the AuxtoFader button.
2. Press an Aux bus knob to map that Aux bus onto the faders.
3. When finished, select another Aux or select a different Aux function.
This mode stays enabled if you navigate to a different panel so press Auxto-
Fader again to disable this function when finished.
This effects all channels including those not on the surface.

Chapter 8: Channels and Strips
8.1 Strips
A CM408 module contains eight identical Strips, each with a Main and Swap channel
with independent settings. The Strip is the physical control area on the console that
and status displays that appear on the meter bridge above the channel, and block diagrams
for the Swap and Main channels.
System 5-B provides tremendous flexibility in how channels are assigned to Strips and
how the Strip controls the channel:
•
•
Any channel can be assigned to any Strip; assignments need not be consecutive.
Two Strips can control one channel, allowing two users to simultaneously oper-
ate that channel.
•
Channels with related functions, such as individual drums or drum submixes,
can be assigned to neighboring Strips.
•
•
Channel-to-Strip mappings can be named, stored, and recalled as Layouts
Channel settings can be named, stored, and recalled as Snapshots
A 96-channel, 48-Strip configuration could map all channels to the control surface:
Main (channels 1–48 to Strips 1–48); Swap (channels 49–96 to Strips 1–48). A 96-
channel, 24-Strip System 5 configuration cannot map all channels to the console at
once but could use two Layouts to easily interchange all channels.

Shortcut Assignment for Multiple Channels
Use the following procedure to assign multiple, consecutive channels to the console
surface:
1. Press the Main Panel key at the bottom of the Panel Viewer.
2. Press the Channels key in the Main Panel to display the Channel Assign Panel.
3. In the Channel Assign Panel, press the Auto key so it illuminates and the key
beside the channel to designate as the starting channel.
4. Position your finger over the Chan Select key for the first Strip (left-most) you
would like to assign on the console.
Because this technique requires a two-key sequence beginning with Chan
Select and moving to the right to the Swap key, the first Strip must be at the
far left of those being assigned.
5. Begin by pressing the Chan Select key on the first Strip, but continue moving
your finger to the right across to the Swap key of the same Strip.
6. Continue sliding your finger to the right over the Chan Select and Swap keys
of each Strip until you have pressed the Swap key on the last Strip you wish
to assign.
You have just assigned the Main level on each Strip by pressing its Chan Select
7. Move your finger back to the first Strip’s Chan Select key and repeat the same
sequence of key presses.
You have mapped the next series of channels to the Swap level on the same
Strips on which you set the Main levels.
For example, if the first sequence mapped channels 1–8 to the Main level on eight
Strips, the second sequence would map channels 9–16 to the Swap level on the same
eight Strips.

8.3 Channel Processing Functions
System 5-B provides flexible and complete programmable functions for each channel:
Input, Dynamics, EQ, Filters, Aux Sends, and Panning.
8.3.1
Inputs
Each channel has an A and B input. See Section 8.4.1 on page 115 to learn about assigning
sources for these inputs. The Inpt knob (bottom) can feed A, B, or A+B to the channel.
These two inputs can be used in many ways but a common application is one Mic and
one Line. Another common use is for monitor inputs: Channel 1A is from the Group 1
Bus output while 1B is from the recorder’s track 1 output. The A/B source switch then
acts as a bus/tape switch.
Press the X key to display the B input page with the same controls as the A input. Press
the X key again to display the Signal Processing In/Out page.

Dynamics
Each channel has a compressor/expander/gate with an external key input. Press the
Dyn function key to assign Dynamics to the knobset; the TFT display at the top of the
Strip shows the dynamics graph (yellow when dynamics are In, gray when bypassed).
The red dot is a GainBall that shows the signal’s current gain (y-axis) and the attack
and release times as the ball rides up and down the curve.
The Dynamics section may be switched in/out with the Dyn In key to the left of the
Strip’s function keys. The Expander/Gate and Compressor can be switched in/out indi-
vidually on their respective knobset configuration pages. Use the knob to adjust the pa-
rameters. Each section discusses the effect, if any, of the switches.

Parametric EQ
Each parametric EQ band has two knobs: one shared between frequency and Q and an-
other for gain. Press the upper switch to the left of any of the frequency knobs to toggle
between Q and frequency. Use the gain knob to adjust the gain for that band. The lower
switch to the left of the gain knob switches that band In/Out.
The four bands are identical (20.5 Hz – 21 kHz) except the HiF and LoF bands can be
either peak or shelf filters. Press the lower of the switches to the left of the HiF or LoF
knob to toggle between peak (switch lights green) and shelf (no light). Note that this
switch indication is present only when displaying frequency on this knob, not Q.
The gain can be adjusted in approximately 1/8 dB increments in the range -24 to +24 dB.
As the gain is changed from 0, the LEDs light dimly from the center LED in the direc-
tion turned (clockwise = boost); the level is indicated by a bright LED. The LEDs light
for every change of 2 dB.
Q can be adjusted in the range 0.2–12 (higher number corresponds to narrower band-
width). At a given Q setting, changing the gain affects the bandwidth slightly: the band-
width decreases as gain increases. This creates a wider area of boost/cut at low gain and
allows a more natural sound as gain changes without altering the Q. At full boost or cut,
the bandwidth is measured 3 dB down from the center frequency.
NOTE: You can use the EQ graph on the TFT display to create a filter in any desired
bandwidth.
Since Q and Frequency share the same knob, both parameters are indicated on the knob
LEDs: Frequency is indicated by a dim LED at its proportional position from first to
last LED. For example, 10 kHz would be approximately in the middle. Q is indicated
by bright LEDs extending to either side of the frequency LED.
NOTE: These LED indicators are for fast reference use only; consult the LCD and TFT
displays for accurate values.
The TFT screen above the Strip shows the resultant EQ curve (yellow when active, gray
when bypassed).

Filters
Two filters are available on each channel. Each filter can be one of four filter types:
high-pass filter (HPF), low-pass filter (LPF), band-pass filter (BPF), and notch filter
(NTCH). The knobs are used to control the two filters that can be active at one time. The
displays are F2tp (filter 2 type), F2Q(filter 2 Q), F2fr (filter 2 frequency), F1tp (filter 1
type), F1Q(filter 1 Q) and F1fr (filter 1 frequency). Select a filter type by rotating the
knob. Disable the filter by selecting OFF. Rotate the frequency knob to select the filter
frequency. Rotate the Q knob to change Q for a notch filter or bandwidth for a band-
pass filter. Each filter can be switched In/Out separately. The filters are not attached to
the EQ.
See Section 8.4.2 on page 115 to learn how to change the EQ’s signal path order.
Filter Q is variable from 0.2 to 12.
To help find problematic frequencies, the Notch filter can be put into a listen mode
which temporarily changes the filter to band-pass by pressing the Listen key next to the
frequency knob. The listen setting is not saved in the Title and is not automated. Listen
defaults to Off.

Aux Sends
The CM401 Master module has a Group/Aux Strip used for Aux Master functions. See
and Aux Busses to learn how to set up mono and stereo Aux busses.
Aux Sends can be mono or stereo odd/even pairs (i.e., 1/2 not 2/3). Each Aux Send can
be configured as pre- or post-fader (Figure 8-12).
Aux Send Knobsets
Figure 8-12 shows the first eight Aux busses with Aux Sends 1/2 and 7/8 set as stereo
pairs and others are mono. Press the X key to display additional busses. Stereo busses
use two knobs:
•
•
The Pan knob (top) adjusts the stereo Pan and its lower-left key switches Pan
in/out.
The Gain knob (labeled with the send numbers) adjusts the overall Gain for
both sends and its lower-left key switches the pair in/out. The upper-left key
switches the send from post- to pre-fader.
•
Mono busses use one Gain knob and its lower-left key switches the send in/out.
The upper-left key switches the send from post- to pre-fader.

System 5-B is not limited to a single pan format and one pan control per channel im-
posed by the traditional analog console. System 5-B allows the following pan formats
(also called pan laws): mono, stereo, LCR, LCRS, 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1.
A single panner can control several different Main or Group busses at once, each with dif-
and Group Bus formats.

front channel width.
trols the left/right channel balance, left-to-mono and right-to-mono function.
Surround Pan (Srnd): Controls the front-to-surround levels without changing the in-
dividual front or rear pan settings.
Pan Rear (PanR): Same as PanF for rear speakers.
Non-Boom Level (nonB): The level to all channels except the Boom channel. For ex-
ample, in 5.1-channel format, the Non-Boom level applies to L, C, R, Ls, Rs.
Boom Level (Boom): The level to only the Boom channel. For example, in 5.1-channel
format, the Boom level applies to only the subwoofer channel.
Focus Front (FocF): This parameter requires at least three speakers to function. Focus
ranges from 0–100%. At 100%, the signal has a pinpoint image: as the signal is panned,
it crossfades directly from one channel to the next, completely fading from the first be-
fore entering the third. As Focus decreases, the signal blurs across multiple channels:
the signal moves from channel one into two, and then begins crossfading into channel
three before channel one has completely faded out. This results in smoother, dynami-
cally panned objects across the sound field.
0% Focus eliminates the center channel from the pan range entirely. The pan control
still functions, although the signal crossfades directly from bus one to bus three. One
use of 0% Focus is to create phantom-centered images, where the signal is sourced
equally from the left and right front speakers instead of directly from the center speaker.
Divergence Front (DivF): This parameter requires at least three speakers to function.
Divergence ranges from 0–100%. At 100%, panning works as expected: Panned to
maximum left, there is no signal present in the right or center channels; at the center
position, no signal is present in the left or right channel, etc. As the Divergence is de-
creased, the degree of panning is decreased: The signal level increases in channels that
previously had no signal and the difference in signal level between channels decreases.
The purpose of Divergence is to allow someone listening on the extreme left or right to
hear a sound panned fully to the other side. For example, at 50% Divergence, a sound
panned fully left will retain approximately half its signal level in the right channel com-
pared to the left.
Divergence Surround (DivS): Same as Divergence Front.
Focus Surround (FocS): Same as Focus Front.

showing the two-dimensional position (front:surround and left:right) for that channel.
Figure 8-14 Pan graph
SmartPan
The System 5-B panner has an automatic function called SmartPan that prevents the
disappearance of the audio signal during panning if some of that Main Section’s busses
are not assigned. For example, if a channel is assigned to a 5.1 Main Section output but
does not send anything to the center main bus, SmartPan automatically uses a stereo pan
law so the signal is still present when panned to the center. SmartPan is always on and
cannot be disabled by the user.
Track Panner Module
The Track Panner Module is a four-Strip wide optional addition to the System 5-B con-
sole. It controls the Pan of a channel, Multi Format Master, or Control Group assigned
to the Center Strip. Press a Strip’s Wave key to assign it to the Center Strip; the active
channel’s Pan is automatically controlled by the Track Panner Module.
The switch to the lower left of the trackball is the Select/Punch key for the trackball
panner. The switch to the lower right of the trackball provides the same function as the
Pan function key on the assigned channel: the Pan parameters are assigned to the knob-
set and the Pan graph appears in the TFT display.

Chapter 9: Control Groups and
Multi Format Masters
9.1 Control Groups
System 5-B supports Control Groups which allow a Group Master channel to control
multiple slave channels. Control Groups are similar to traditional VCA Groups. The
Group Master channel can be assigned to a strip just like any other channel. The most
common use of a Control Group is to control similar channels from one strip. For ex-
ample, a single master fader can be used to change the fader level of all announcer mics.
System 5-B allows up to 48 Control Groups, each of which can control the following
channel settings: Fader, On/Off, Pan, Aux, Filters, EQ, Dynamics and Input.
The relative fader level of each slave channel can be individually set and the master
channel preserves these relative fader levels as the master fader is altered. This allows
all slave channels to be smoothly faded out by bringing down the master fader. The
trol Groups are displayed with dim illumination (G5–G24). Press the Page keys to dis-
play the two sets of 24 Control Groups.

Control Groups and Multi Format Masters
9.4 Control Groups or Multi Format Masters
This section presents general information to help decide whether to use a Control Group
or Multi Format Master for a given task.
If you need to adjust individual parameters on the slave channels, use a Control Group.
Multi Format Master channels are set up with all functions on the slave channels
switched in. Therefore, adjusting the EQ on the Multi Format Master channel affects all
the slave channels. Adjusting parameters on the Control Group Master affects the slave
channels only if that function is switched in at the slave when the Control Group was
created or subsequently. For example, adjusting EQ on a Control Group master has no
effect on the slave channel unless the slave channel’s EQ is switched in.
If a VT is playing a stereo format, use a Multi Format Master because they include ded-
If the VT is playing dual mono signals (i.e., dialog and music), use a Control Group or
just two mono channels because you may want to apply different EQ and compression
settings to each signal. Use a Control Group to control multiple mics on a similar source
(i.e., crowd or drums).
To summarize:
•
•
•
True stereo source: Multi Format Master (do not adjust the slave channels)
Dual mono: Control Group (adjust functions on the slave channels)
Multiple similar signals: Control Group (adjust functions on the slave channels)

Chapter 10: Layouts and Snapshots
System 5-B performs several mix-management functions significantly faster than any
pre-digital mixing system:
•
can save a complex patch system for each Title.
Snapshots and Layouts further extend this model of flexibility by storing different, but
complementary, information that describes the console state at a given time:
•
•
Layouts store the channel-to-strip mapping.
For example, channel 8 is mapped to Strip 3 Main level.
Snapshots store the settings of selected channel functions and settings, even if
they are not currently assigned to the console surface.
For example, a Snapshot that contains Channel 3’s EQ and Dynamics will re-
store the values to both functions, regardless of the current knobset function.
Snapshots and Layouts naturally complement each other because their information,
while related, does not overlap: Layouts map channels to Strips and Snapshots determine
all, or part of, their channel settings.
Naming, storing, modifying, and recalling functions are accomplished through the
Snapshot and Layout Panels, accessed from the Main Panel.

Layouts and Snapshots
10.1 Layouts
A system with 24 Strips and 96 channels cannot map all channels to the console surface
at once. Since each Strip can have two channels (Main and Swap), two Layouts are re-
quired to map all 96 channels:
1. Channels 1–24 to Strips 1–24 Main
Channels 25–48 to Strips 1–24 Swap
2. Channels 49–72 to Strips 1–24 Main
Channels 73–96 to Strips 1–24 Swap
A group of channels sharing a common attribute that are normally required on the con-
sole at the same time (i.e., drums, vocals, or dialogue) are ideally stored in a Layout.
The Layouts Panel provides the interface to name, store, modify, and recall up to 48
channel-to-strip maps.
10.1.1 Create a New Layout
1. From the Main Panel, press the Layout key to display the Layout Panel.
The button beside the last Layout recalled is illuminated.
2. Press the New key at the bottom-left of the Layout Panel.
The key flashes to signify creation of a new Layout.
3. Select the channels to include in the new Layout:
Press the ALL key at the bottom-right of the Layout Panel to select all console
Strips.

Chapter 11: GPI/O Event System
The event system can program many System 5-B features. The following features are
very useful:
•
•
use a fader to start a cart machine or turn speakers on/off;
turn a channel on/off in response to a camera turning on/off.
An event consists of a set of input conditions governed by a logical operator that deter-
mines the output condition. Inputs can be surface parameters (i.e., channel on, fader,
etc.) or external inputs via the GP132. Outputs can be System 5-B parameters or exter-
nal outputs via the GP132.
GP132
The GP132 (General Purpose Input/Output Relay System) is used to communicate to
devices that use tallies and relays. Although the GP132 is shipped with all systems,
many events do not require it.
The following special considerations should be noted when using the GP132:
•
•
MIDI cables are used to connect GP132 to System 5. The MIDI specification
for maximum cable length is 10 m. Cables over this length may cause data loss.
If power fails on the GP132, none of the relays will function. After restoring
power, the GP132 resets ALL relays.

The goal is to enable the following functionality:
•
•
•
•
When the video switcher takes camera 1, channel 1’s audio is on while chan-
nels 2–4 are muted.
When the video switcher takes camera 2, channel 2’s audio is on while chan-
nels 1, 3, and 4 are muted.
When the video switcher takes camera 3, channel 3’s audio is on while chan-
nels 1, 2, and 4 are muted.
When the video switcher takes camera 4, channel 4’s audio is on while chan-
nels 1–3 are muted.
The following steps explain how to turn channel 1 on and mute the other channels when
the video switcher takes camera 1.
1. Choose a tally input to use on the GP 132.
For example, tally input 1 uses pins 1 and 14 on connector RT1 of the GP 132.
2. In Events page of eMix, click <click to add event> in the Events List section,
and select OR as the logic operator.
3. From the Inputs section, click <click to add input>.

Switch Function = Channel and Active State = off for each.
So far, you have achieved the following functionality: when the video switcher selects
camera 1, System 5-B’s channel 1 turns on and channels 2–4 mute. Repeat the steps
above to program channel 2 to turn on when the video switcher selects camera 2 and
mute channels 1, 3, and 4. Each tally input requires a discrete connection at the GP 132.
