Signal Flow Diagram
T he DS-M7.1 can be used to create exciting audio
presentations in 5.1 surround. In this example,
the surround outputs from a digital workstation
or hard disk recorder are connected to the Master
recorder inputs of the DS-M7.1.
The presentation can be created in any width
from mono to 7.1, and the downmix feature allows
you to monitor how a 5.1 presentation will sound
through a stereo system. This important feature
allows you to quickly create multiple mixes of a
project in a variety of formats, and ensures that
your presentation will dazzle no matter what the
sound system may be.
W ith its fl exible routing options, the DS-M7.1
links each of the components in your studio
to create an integrated surround mixing system.
Connections for your console, tracking recorder and
mixdown recorder route your signal with 96kHz/
24-bit digital precision, for the highest signal qual-
ity. Dedicated buttons on the DS-M7.1’s removable
front panel allow you to route signals through your
studio without repatching, so that changing from
a stereo tracking session to a surround mix session
involves a few button presses.
The digital insert connection allows you to hear
the effects of digital compression or a surround
encoder such as Dolby Digital® or DTS® for total
confi dence in your mix. The output router sends
your signal to a surround speaker setup, from mono
up to 7.1 surround. Conveniences such as monitor
Dim and Mono are also provided. In addition, fl ex-
ible downmixing features allow you to hear your
mix in any other format, including mono.
