The following article will guide through setting up an M-480 for FOH and an M-200i as a Broadcast mixer receiving audio from the M-480.

The example below will use the M-480's SPLIT/BACKUP port connected to the M-200i's REAC port.
Notes:
- The M-480's SPLIT/BACKUP port duplicates it's REAC A output network.
- The SPLIT/BACKUP port is a send only (i.e.output port only) and does not receive audio.

 

REAC CONNECTION
Connect the M-480 SPLIT/BACKUP port to the M-200i's REAC port.

M-480 SETTINGS

1. Press the SYSTEM button and set the INTERNAL SAMPLING FREQ to a desired sample rate.
2. Press F2 (REAC CONFIG) and then press F1 (SETUP).
3. Move the cursor to the REAC SETUP section, select FOH (DEFAULT) and then press ENTER.

M-200i SETTINGS

1. Be sure that an iPad is not connected wired or wirelessly to the M-200i.
2. In the M-200i's DISPLAY section towards the top of the console, press the SETUP button.
3. Looking at the M-200i's display screen on the top-right, cursor to "SYSTEM" and then press ENTER.
4. Set the "SAMPLING FREQ" to match that of the M-480 and then press EXIT.
5. Cursor to to "REAC SETUP" and then press ENTER.
6. Cursor to "SPLIT" and press ENTER twice.

 

ASSIGNING CHANNELS

Now that the consoles are setup, the M-480's input channel DIRECT OUTs can be used to patch out to its REAC A outputs. These will be "seen" as input sources on the M-200i.
For example, if the M-480's input channel's direct out is patched to its REAC A outut 32, this will be received and "seen" from the M-200i as REAC input 32.

M-480

1. Press the PATCHBAY button.
2. Press F2 (OUTPUT) and then F3 (REAC A).
3. Press the down arrow to scroll down until the input channels appear on the left (e.g. CH 1, CH 2, etc).
   
4. Cursor to a desired REAC A output for a channel and then press ENTER. An arrow will appear in the box indicating the channel's direct out is patched to the REAC A output above.
   
   After patching all channels is completed, each input channel's direct out point needs to be set:
5. Press the SEL button for each input channel and then set the DIRECT OUT on the screen to PRE EQ.
   
6. Repeat this for each input channel.

M-200i

1. Be sure that an iPad is still not connected wired or wirelessly to the M-200i.
2. In the M-200i's DISPLAY section towards the top of the console, press the SETUP button.
3. Cursor to "PATCHBAY" and then press ENTER.
4. Select “INPUT PATCHBAY“ and press ENTER.
5. Cursor to a desired input channel and then press ENTER.
6. Cursor to a desired input source for the channel and then press ENTER.
   * As a reminder, these input sources are sourced from the M-480's direct outs.
7. Press EXIT and then repeat steps 5 and 6 for additional input channels.
