The M7CL's channel structure The M7CL's channel structure The M7CL provides the following input channels and output channels. ■ Input channels This section processes an input signal and sends it to various buses (STEREO, MONO, MIX, MATRIX). There are two types of input channel, as follows. ● INPUT channels These channels are used to process monaural signals. By default, the input signals from monaural analog INPUT jacks (on the M7CL-32 and M7CL-48 models) or input signals from the EtherSound connector (on the M7CL48ES model) are assigned to these channels. ● ST IN channels These channels are used to process stereo signals. By default, the input signals from EFFECT RETURN 1-4 are assigned to these channels. Signal assignments to the input channels can be changed as desired. ■ Output channels This section mixes the signals sent from input channels etc., and sends them to the corresponding output ports or output buses. There are three types of output channel, as follows. ● MIX channels These channels process the signals sent from input channels to the MIX buses, and send them from the output ports. These are used mainly to send signals to the monitor system or to external effects. The signals of MIX channels 1-16 can also be sent to the STEREO bus, MONO bus, or MATRIX buses. When the M7CL is in the default state, the following output ports are assigned. • M7CL-32/48 port assignment MIX channels 1-12 OMNI OUT jacks 1-12 MIX channels 13-16 Rack 5-8 MIX channels 1-8 Slot 1 output channels 1-8, 9-16 MIX channels 9-16 Slot 2 output channels 1-8, 9-16 • M7CL-48ES port assignment MIX channels 1-8 Slot 1 output channels 1-8, 9-16 MIX channels 9-16 Slot 2 output channels 1-8, 9-16 MIX channels 1-6 EtherSound output channels 1-6 MIX channels 7-12 EtherSound output channels 9-14 MIX channels 13-16 Rack 5-8 ● MATRIX channels These channels process the signals that are sent from input channels, MIX channels, STEREO channel, and MONO channel to the MATRIX buses, and send them from the output ports. Using the STEREO and MONO buses, different combinations of signals and mix balances can be sent out from the M7CL. When the M7CL is in the default state, the following output ports are assigned. • M7CL-32/48 port assignment MATRIX channels 1/2 OMNI OUT jacks 13/14 MATRIX channels 1-8 Slot 3 output channels 1-8, 9-16 • M7CL-48ES port assignment MATRIX channels 1-8 Slot 3 output channels 1-8, 9-16 MATRIX channels 1-6 EtherSound output channels 17-22 MATRIX channels 1-4 OMNI OUT 1-4 ● STEREO channel / MONO channel These channels process the signals that are sent from the input channels or MIX channels, and send them to the corresponding output port. These channels are used as the main stereo output and monaural output. The STEREO channel and MONO channel can be used either to output independent signals, or for three-channel L/C/R playback. When the M7CL is in the default state, the following output ports are assigned. • M7CL-32/48 port assignment STEREO channel L OMNI OUT jack 15, 2TR OUT DIGITAL jack L STEREO channel R OMNI OUT jack 16, 2TR OUT DIGITAL jack R MONO channel No assignment • M7CL-48ES port assignment STEREO channel L OMNI OUT jack 7, 2TR OUT DIGITAL jack L, EtherSound output channels 7,15, and 23 STEREO channel R OMNI OUT jack 8, 2TR OUT DIGITAL jack R, EtherSound output channels 8,16, and 24 MONO channel No assignment Port assignments to the output channels can be changed as desired. 14 M7CL Owner's Manual

Owner’s Manual

The M7CL’s channel structure

The M7CL provides the following input channels and output channels.

This section processes an input signal and sends it to vari-

ous buses (STEREO, MONO, MIX, MATRIX). There are

two types of input channel, as follows.

●

INPUT channels

These channels are used to process monaural signals. By

default, the input signals from monaural analog INPUT

jacks (on the M7CL-32 and M7CL-48 models) or input

signals from the EtherSound connector (on the M7CL-

48ES model) are assigned to these channels.

●

ST IN channels

These channels are used to process stereo signals. By

default, the input signals from EFFECT RETURN 1–4 are

assigned to these channels.

Signal assignments to the input channels can be changed

as desired.

This section mixes the signals sent from input channels

etc., and sends them to the corresponding output ports or

output buses. There are three types of output channel, as

follows.

●

MIX channels

These channels process the signals sent from input chan-

nels to the MIX buses, and send them from the output

ports. These are used mainly to send signals to the monitor

system or to external effects. The signals of MIX channels

1–16 can also be sent to the STEREO bus, MONO bus, or

MATRIX buses.

When the M7CL is in the default state, the following out-

put ports are assigned.

• M7CL-32/48 port assignment

• M7CL-48ES port assignment

●

MATRIX channels

These channels process the signals that are sent from input

channels, MIX channels, STEREO channel, and MONO

channel to the MATRIX buses, and send them from the

output ports. Using the STEREO and MONO buses, dif-

ferent combinations of signals and mix balances can be

sent out from the M7CL.

When the M7CL is in the default state, the following out-

put ports are assigned.

• M7CL-32/48 port assignment

• M7CL-48ES port assignment

●

STEREO channel / MONO channel

These channels process the signals that are sent from the

input channels or MIX channels, and send them to the cor-

responding output port. These channels are used as the

main stereo output and monaural output.

The STEREO channel and MONO channel can be used

either to output independent signals, or for three-channel

L/C/R playback.

When the M7CL is in the default state, the following out-

put ports are assigned.

• M7CL-32/48 port assignment

• M7CL-48ES port assignment

Port assignments to the output channels can be changed as

desired.
