Quick Start
Auxs (Auxiliaries)
The DA7 has six AUX sends and six AUX returns. AUX1 & 2 are S/PDIF
digital IN+OUT, while AUX3 through 6 are analog.
While Aux feeds are generally used to send signals to outboard signal
processing devices, they are also commonly used for headphone sub-mixes,
Cue feeds for announcers in post production environments, etc. They can
also be used to feed a tape machine when you need more buses. If you let
creativity be your guide, you will find many uses for the aux send and
returns. Later in this chapter we will show you examples of some unique
uses of the Auxes.
These Auxes can be used as six mono sends or in stereo pairs (such as 1&2,
3&4, 5&6), and six mono returns or stereo pairs. These six returns can also
be used as an additional six inputs to the mixer, bringing the total of inputs
to 38. Additionally, these six returns have a 2-band Parametric EQ on each
channel.
Aux selections and assignments are displayed in both the [CHANNEL]
window and the appropriate [FADER CONTROL>AUX] window, as well as
the LED field. However, the [CHANNEL] window will initially be displayed
on the LCD when selecting and assigning aux functions.
See Chapter 10, AUX for additional information.
