Device Racks are used to assign and control the hardware and software I/Os, servers, and controllers available on the network. Use these

to set up a new configuration or to modify an auto-configured setup.

Devices

Racks A and B assign hardware and software I/O devices to the mixer. Racks A and B can be used interchangeably.

A rack consists of eight slots, each of which can hold one I/O device. The arrow in the rack slot opens a drop-down list of devices that are
part of the mixer’s SoundGrid network.

There are three categories of assignable devices to choose from.

More than one driver can be assigned to an eMotion LV1 system. This provides for a primary driver as well as backups

Available devices are shown in black. Devices that are not available for assignment are gray.

The rack slot number determines the device’s place in the Patch window and in certain drop-down menus. Device sequence is not

important, but some engineers choose to use one rack for PA devices and the other for monitoring.

The ID button next to the device name activates a changing-color LED on the device front panel to help identify the physical unit.
