SETTING UP THAT MIX-MINUS FOR THE HOME STUDIO

Setting up confidence monitoring and mix-minus or bus-minus feeds for home studios can be as simple as setting bus-minus assigns. Read on.

Associated Connection

All of our IP consoles have bus-minus sends from the fader and these provide an automatic mix-minus of program content minus the source, so in most cases it’s a simple matter of pairing faders to the codec. But if you have a smaller plant with a limited number of AoIP I/O units feeding a small console, you’ll want to know about a WheatNet IP feature called Associated Connections.

Top: Associated Connections screen showing that when the Tieline codec is assigned to Channel 24 on the LXE Bus-minus output from Ch. 24 is automatically assigned to feed the Tieline mix minus input.

Right: Shown is the Talkback button on Ch.24, which will interrupt the Ch 24 Bus Minus output to provide direct talkback to the Tieline codec.

Associated Connections can be used to route several home studio feeds and their respective bus-minus presets along with assigned codecs using shared hardware I/Os and faders. With this, you can build a set of rules to automate routing for predetermined backhauls, IFB feeds or mix-minus for each device based on its location in the system or on a fader. When a base connection is made, up to 10 additional connections can happen automatically.
