The Most Dynamic Buss
System Available
Most mixing consoles have a fixed buss
system: say 4 groups busses, 3 or 4
auxiliary busses, a stereo buss, and maybe
a mono buss. The numbers and variations
are endless, but you’re stuck with the
configuration you initially purchased. If
your buss requirements change, you need a
new console. And if your buss require-
ments change from project to project, you’ll
need a console with way more capacity

professional smile.
