Main Output Functions

As you are probably aware by now, Duality features a 6-wide main mix bus that can be configured either to

provide a full 5.1 surround mix or three stereo mix busses.

The six main mix busses are represented by three columns of indicators on this

panel which, in turn, represent three independent stereo pairs, MIX A, MIX B

and MIX C. Functions are assigned to these busses using the dedicated row

keys on the right of the matrix, in conjunction with the mix select keys at the

base of the matrix columns.

Each pair of busses has a switchable INSERT point with the option to be

placed pre (default) or POST the main output level control (normally the master

fader).

So, for example, lets assume all your channels are routed to MIX A, and you

want to insert an external stereo compressor on that bus. Press and hold the

button at the foot of the MIX A column and then press the button to the right of

the INSERT row; the associated INSERT indicator will light. Additional facilities

described below are assigned in a similar manner.

SUM mode allows the insert return to be summed with the main signal path. COMP assigns the master on-

board compressor to the selected bus(ses). This functions as single stereo unit inserted on a chosen stereo

bus or as a 5.1 compressor when in 5.1 mode (see below). The single master FADER is assigned to individual

stereo mix stems or as a 5.1 master fader in 5.1 mode. The fader can control the same level of all three stereo

busses simultaneously but can only set the level for one bus at a time. If not fader-controlled, the main output

level will be set at the last set level. Maximum gain is 0dB or +10dB if the +10dB function is selected. This

again can be set either on individual stereo busses or globally for 5.1 mixes.

The TO A function for MIX B and MIX C enable those busses to be folded down and added to MIX A. The

output of each stereo mix bus can be individually monitored (confidence-checked) by selecting the AFL

function.

All the above assumes you are working in ‘stereo’ mode. If you select the 5.1 MIX button at the foot of the

matrix, the MIX A, B and C assignment buttons function as a group. For example, if you select the

COMPressor, it will be automatically assigned to all six busses (as indicated by the matrix COMP indicators).

Selecting the 5.1 MIX button puts the matrix into 5.1 mode regardless of the state of the 5.1 PAN button on the

Central Routing Panel.
