Console OperationsMix reassign MatrixThis useful matrix, to the left of the main output compressor (see right), adds the selected mix(es).post output level control, to the six Main Mix busses. Three stereo mixes — stereo Cue a andCue B, plus the output of the ext B stereo monitor selector, can be reassigned to Main Mixbusses 1 and 2 (Mix A). The 24 Track busses are split into four groups of 6, and are re-assigned inthose groups to all of the Main Mix busses (busses 1 and 2 to Mix A, 3 and 4 to Mix B, 5 and 6 toMix C, etc.). This provides up to four 5.1 stems or four triple stereo bus sets.lFe ChannelThis section (see right) enables a low pass filter to be switched (lFe FIlter) into the LFE mixbus (Bus B Right) when working in surround. Two filter frequencies are provided — the default120Hz filter or, when the 80Hz button is pressed, a 80Hz option. The filter slope is 12dB/Octave.stereo Mix MatrixThis matrix (see right) is used to sum the console’s Main Mix busses, with two exclusive modes ofoperation.Firstly, the three rotary controls and their associated On buttons act as a 5.1 to Stereo Downmixmatrix to control the centre, surround and LFE contributions added to the original 5.1 front L andR channels. By default, the downmix is sourced from the Main Mix bus outputs, post processing andlevel control. Inp pre feeds the matrix directly from the busses’ mix amps, thereby bypassing allprocessing.The MIx a, B and C buttons are used to select a second mode of operation, which provides asimple bus sum of the six Main Mix busses, when they are being used as three stereo pairs or stems.The summing is post processing and level control. In both cases, the resultant stereo mix has amaster leVel trim and a separate pre level control insert point (Ins). The insert return supportsthe ‘Sum’ option, as found on the Bus select Matrix for Main Mix bus insert points. This modeis selected in the ssl/Misc/setup menu, selected via the centre section TFT screen (see setupMenu).2-38 Duality se V3 Operator’s Manual
