The following article will guide through setting up an M-400 for FOH and an M-400 as a broadcast mixer receiving audio from the FOH M-400.

The example below will use the FOH M-400's SPLIT/BACKUP port connected to the broadcast M-400's REAC A port.

Notes about the The SPLIT/BACKUP port:

• The SPLIT/BACKUP port is fixed to send the first 8 outputs of the REAC A output network (assigned in the patchbay) and then inputs from REAC A input network followed by REAC B network.
• For example: If an S-1608 (16 input digital snake) is connected to REAC A and an S-1608 is connected to REAC B, then the SPLIT/BACKUP port's outputs would be as follows:
  • Outputs 1-8 are sourced from what has been assigned to REAC A out in the patchbay.
  • Outputs 9-24 are sourced from the sixteen XLR inputs on the S-1608 connected to REAC A.
  • Outputs 25-40 are sourced from the sixteen XLR inputs on the S-1608 connected to REAC B.
    

 

REAC CONNECTION
Connect the M-400 SPLIT/BACKUP port to the M-400's REAC A port.

FOH M-400 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.

BROADCAST M-400 SETTINGS

1. Press the SYSTEM button and set the INTERNAL SAMPLING FREQ to match the FOH M-400.
2. Press F2 (REAC CONFIG) and then press F1 (SETUP).
3. Move the cursor to the REAC SETUP section, select MONITOR/BROADCAST A and then press ENTER.

PATCHING CHANNELS IN THE BROADCAST M-400

1. In the setup section of the top panel, press the PATCHBAY button.
2. Press F1 (INPUT) and then F3 (REAC A).
3. Patch the REAC A inputs on the top of the grid to the desired M-400 channels on the left. As a reminder, the Broadcast M-400's REAC A inputs on the top of the grid are sourced from the FOH M-400's SPLIT/BACKUP port.
