Signal Buses; 5�2�2�1 Assignments For An Input Selected; 5�2�2�2 Settings For A Bus Selected - IMG STAGELINE DELTA-160R Bedienungsanleitung

5.2.2 Signal buses

The mixer features 8 signal buses offering a variety of functions:
– subgroups for combining multiple channels for joint signal pro-
cessing (e� g� chorus voices or various instruments of a drum set)
– auxiliary sends for stage monitors or in-ear monitoring
– buses for joint use of internal effects
– auxiliary sends for external effects
– subgroups for mixing a recording signal
Buses 1– 4 are mono buses; buses 5 – 8 are stereo buses� The signals
of all input channels can be assigned to the buses� In addition, the
outputs of the mono buses can be assigned to the stereo buses�
All bus signals can be routed to the stereo sum and/or sent to any
analog outputs� The signals of the stereo buses can also be routed to
☞
the digital outputs (
5.2.2.1 Assignments for an input selected
To assign an input channel to one or more signal buses:
1) Press the key IN 1– 8 or IN 9 – 20 (8) to call up the input channel
overview (fig� 3) for the range of the corresponding channel� Press
the corresponding control knob (10) to select the channel� The LED
underneath the control knob will light up and the channel strip in
the view will be highlighted�
2) Press the key SENDS (8) so that it is illuminated�
The control knobs and the keys MUTE (12) and SOLO (11) now
refer to the signal buses BUS 1– 8� The keys have functions deviating
from their marking�
3) The key MUTE can be used to route the signal of the input channel
selected to the corresponding bus�
When an assignment has been made, the key MUTE will be illumi-
nated and the name of the bus and the current level adjustment
will be indicated in the central section of the channel strip of the
input channel�
4) Use the control knob to make the level adjustment (the signal part
of the input channel to be sent to the bus)� To quickly set the value
0 dB, press the key SOLO�
5) For additional settings, tap the central section of the channel strip�
The Send view of the input channel selected will be displayed
(fig� 9)�
6) Define for each of the signal buses assigned if the signal is picked
up ahead of (Pre Fader) or after (Post Fader) setting the channel
volume� To switch over, tap the corresponding button�
Note: For taking off a monitor signal, it is recommended to use the setting
"Pre Fader"� Thus, the volume on stage can be adjusted independently of
the sound for the audience (FOH)� For effects, "Post Fader" is usually useful:
When the volume of the channel signal changes, the volume of the effect
will change accordingly�
7) When the input channel has been assigned to one of the stereo
buses (Bus 5 – 8), the stereo position of the signal (for mono input
channels) or its stereo balance (for stereo input channels) can be
set: Tap the numeric field underneath the Pre / Post Fader button
of the corresponding bus� The field will have a yellow frame� Use
the control ADJUST (9) to adjust the ratio between the left stereo
channel and the right stereo channel� To make it easier to reset the
setting to the centre position "50|50", tap the display field twice�

5.2.2.2 Settings for a bus selected
Input channels can also be assigned to a bus from the bus� It will,
however, not be possible to set the stereo balance of the input chan-
nels and to define where the signal is picked up (Pre Fader/ Post Fader)�
1) Press the key BUS 1– 8 (8)� The overview of the buses will be dis-
played (fig� 10)�
A channel strip is displayed for each bus containing the following
information (from top to bottom):
– direct assignment of the bus signal to an output, e� g� "OUT 1"
☞
( chapter 5�2�4)
– insert effects used for this bus, e� g� Mod 1, Rev 2 or GEQ 1
☞
( chapter 5�7�1); INSERT will be displayed if no effect has
been assigned to the insert point
– miniature curve of the parametric equalizer (
– input channels assigned to this bus including the signal part
adjusted (Send control); for stereo buses also the mono buses
assigned
– bus name ( ☞ chapter 6�1)
– volume adjustment for the bus (bar graph on the left)
– PAN (mono buses) / BAL (stereo buses) stereo position or stereo
balance of the bus signal
– assignment to the stereo sum "L&R"
– status indication ⓣ when the signal delay has been activated
– SOLO status and MUTE status; like the signal of an input channel,
a bus signal can be monitored via the SOLO key (11) (
ter 5�1�4)
– signal level (bar graph on the right)
