All audio channels are kept in the digital domain once converted by the mixing system input hardware. e. Extra digital conversions are eliminated in the signal flow, with 96kHz AES mix outputs feeding all main theater directly for the main loudspeaker and monitor mix drive lines. The design strives for maximum fidelity from the sound system audio paths, reducing the multiple A/D and D/A conversions found in typical installations. The mixing console digital I/O and conversion hardware is powered via balanced-power isolation units located in each I/O hardware location, further reducing noise and improving audio clarity. f. Custom-designed and fabricated I/O panels are provided to allow visiting mixing consoles to be interfaced into the house system with ease. Analog and Digital I/O paths are provided for main system drive and monitor mix drive lines from visiting mixing consoles. This allows for visiting road equipment to be connected with minimal disruption of the normal house system connection cabling. 6. Wireless Microphone Systems a.
