Crest Audio HPW Music Mixer User Manual


 
matrix mix
The HPW features a 2-output Matrix section. Each Matrix can consist of a mixture
of any of the 11 main mix buses: the 8 audio subgroups, Left, Right, and Mono. Each
of these main buses feed the 2 matrix buses through individual Matrix Send pots, all
located within the Master module, above the fader of the associated bus. These Sends
were described in each of the previous sections describing the various buses.
Each Matrix mix can be used to create a unique combination of the various sub-
mixes within the console. Pre- or Post-fader mixes are possible with the use of the
PRE switches associated with the Matrix Send pots of each of the buses. The matrix
outputs can be tailored to create the proper mix needed for each application. Typical
uses are to create a vocal-rich feed for a video recording, a lower-level feed for the
vestibule or waiting room, a room-independent mix for a performance video, etc.
matrix output 1/4" TRS jack
The matrix output signal is available at this output jack. The jack is impedance-bal-
anced, ground-compensated. The matrix ouputs can also be used as the source for
the Alt outputs. This allows the dynamic range to be controlled and room ambi-
enced to be added to the matrix signal.
