I still struggle to see how XLR is not the most versatile I/O. But…you do you.
2019/10/15 at 2:26 am #87040If you need more local I/O consider a DXLink card. That gives you access to 128 more local inputs with the 7 racks they make.
2019/10/14 at 10:13 pm #87033The only thing you would have to do to fix this “issue” is purchase a few cables. There is no reason you can’t use a XLR to 3.5 or RCA plug, or just use a DI as mentioned. The desk is far more versatile with XLR. Because you can at least plug anything into an XLR input. Not so easy to plug your mics into a line level only 1/4″ input.
2019/05/30 at 12:51 pm #84140This is something I use on Yamaha PM10/PM7 all the time and its awesome. Yes I understand different cost point. But A&H already has the best, fastest work flow. This would just push the desk that much further. Maybe even an All button (like Digico does it would work) for editing banks of channel parameters. This in conjunction with DCA spills is a fast way of working.

Dante devices can have different sample rates all on the same network. And they even share the same clock. Obviously you wont be able to route between sample rates but everything will work just fine.2018/12/28 at 4:42 am #81110Couldn’t you fire a default scene then fire the scene for you new show? Then you just need to turn the phantom on. That doesn’t take that long. Some other desks have and option to conform the desk to the rack or vis versa. If implemented by A&H I think this would make the most sense.

This would be difficult to measure because of some variables. But I would say over all that a 48k snake would sound better than any analog snake in almost all conditions. The bigger advantage is going digital snake in the first place, less so from 48k to 96k.2018/09/07 at 1:48 pm #78421The closes thing I know of for what your imagining is what SSL does with stem groups. They sit in the chain before auxes and can be routed to all buses and to other stem groups. (take a look at the attached file). But at the end of the day you could just assign a group to a DCA. Maybe its me but there seems to be a trend on the A&H forum for people wanted more processing. MORE EQ. MORE DYNAMICS! MORE EVERYTHING…… From my professional opinion and from the best live mixes I have ever heard, have the least amount of processing. Don’t be temped to just add and add to “fix” the sound. Most of the time taking away is more effective. LESS IS MORE.
sorry for the rant.

Because its all routed and done when you dial in all of your FX sends. Plus most people do the processing on the return side. Like with lots of features on the dLive…you can do it the old school way or the A&H way. But at least you have an option. I kind of like the speed. When working on a Yamaha (or other desks) I always have to think about how I setup my sends. Which can be annoying. Usually Aux 1 thru whatever are monitors. They I start from 16 down for effects. That way when I add an effect or a aux/group buss it makes sense. But on a dLive you just dial one more in the setup and boom…your done.
2018/07/20 at 2:30 pm #72838Yes unfortunately you would need to burn some buttons. The great thing about the Dlive is how flexible it truly is. On something like a Yamaha or Digico you wouldn’t have any choice in the matter.
The Dlive gives you “free” fx return channels. Meaning they are not included in the 128 input channels. However as your running into those channels are not fully featured (missing dynamics). But like on any desk you would wouldn’t be able to reuse an FX return (which is an input) as an output buss. Your mention of the FX return being the extension of the FX output…Its the extension of the FX buss. As configured in the Mixer Config. Which can be configured however you want. FX send to FX input-FX output to FX return. Which is, Buss to FX input-FX output to input. Digital or analog its all the same. The only difference with Dlive is that they are using busses specifically called FX sends. Which on most other console is just an aux. It does the same thing.
If you wanted to go the old school route then you could patch in FX rack input from a Aux buss (Which gives you full processing) then return on a channel, in your case 2. This is how almost all other digital desk operate. Even a 150k PM10.
2018/07/17 at 5:00 pm #72750It is odd that the FX return goes away. But you could still set inputs from FX rack on two input channels. Then set a softkey as a select for the send. This would bring the rack up. I get the workflow thing, this could cover some of those issues. An explanation from A&H for why the FX return bus going away would be nice.
2018/07/14 at 6:33 pm #72666If you were willing to give up your Direct Out level control you could use a tie line for the Waves. Then change the direct out to the desired part of the signal chain for the ME send.
2018/01/24 at 1:04 am #68422You should probably consult a AV contractor. Who can consider all of the uses your system will need to perform. And future uses you may not even know yet.
ps. absolutely use dante for the ULX-d

More than likely the original switch you were using was having issues passing the QOS. Dante uses this for clocking and sync. Not all switches even have QOS. I have done setups on lots of Cisco 300 switches with great success. A non POE version is pretty inexpensive on amazon or B&H (20 port for $240). Also choosing the clock correctly when using a card in a console is not so strait forward. If you want the console as the clock master…then the dante card in that desk should have the setting (sync to external clock) & (preferred master) selected. A good quality switch is always a good idea, obviously things never fail when its convenient so beware of cheep gear.Jason
2016/06/22 at 2:34 pm #56745With Audinate’s newer Via software you can route audio off a Dante network to a laptops headphone jack. This is assuming you have a Dante network. Latency should be reasonable.
