Audyssey Subgroups

Introduction

Subgroups allow us to group similar sounds into a single signal in order to keep consistency when mixing a large number of sounds. For example, drums.

Steps

  1. Load and set signal levels on a channel
  2. Assign channel to group 1
  3. Raise bus master trim 1
  4. Raise group faders 1
  5. Assign to Mix

Channel Group Assign

There are 8 mono groups and 1 stereo group which is actually the main mix bus. By default, the groups are POST fader.

Group Masters

There are a number of controls available to each group. Each group has buttons to assign the group to the left and/or right main stereo mix independently. Like the channels, there is a button to engage or disengage the Pan.

Subgroup Faders

The first 6 group busses have dedicated faders for mixing subgroups and could be assigned to the main stereo mix.

External Routing

The subgroups feed the “Group Outputs” on the patchbay.
