Surround
Sound for
Today...and
Tomorrow
Home theater sound systems and motion
picture sound tracks have raised consumer
expectations for multi-channel audio playback.
The DVD technology provides a media capable of
delivering up to two hours of video programming with
5.1 channel surround sound tracks on a single disk,
replacing the VHS home video player. The new broadcast
standards, Advanced Television (ATV) and Direct Satellite
Broadcasting (DSB) will bring digital video and surround sound
directly into the television adding significantly to the growing
demand for programming with high quality surround sound. A console
that can’t keep pace with these trends faces the same destiny as the
typewriter. The Euphonix CS series consoles are designed to integrate
seamlessly with the Audio Cube expansion module, adding from 4 to 48 multi-
format mix buses. Hyper-Surround software defines these buses as stem mix
outputs in any surround format for multi-channel mixing.

Signal Processing
The Euphonix CS3000 is equipped with powerful processing such as the highly acclaimed 4 band equalizers and the optional advanced
dynamics processors and filters. Each dynamics processor includes presets to compress, expand, de-ess, limit and gate. Lower faders are
typically sourced from the multitrack return, freeing the automated upper faders for mono or stereo effects returns and additional inputs
to the mix. Each fader has a dedicated EQ, doubling the number of full function paths in the system during a mix.
Effects Devices
Four send controls in each channel feed 8 aux output buses per channel. The upper faders can be used as a send for lower
fader signals using a multitrack bus, which is then routed to outboard effects devices in exactly the same way as an in-line
system. Stereo effects devices may be returned on a single fader, which greatly increases input capacity.
Total Automation
Euphonix offers a level of creative possibilities that would not be possible with automation systems limited to
just faders and mutes. With MixView software version 3.0 the Euphonix provides expressive dynamic
automation of upper and lower channel faders and mutes, stereo panning, aux sends, and EQ. In addition,
SnapShots may be fired to timecode allowing instantaneous mix changes to occur at scene changeovers
(a feature unique to the Euphonix).
The Revisions and Remixes
Just when you thought it was safe to move on to the next project, the client comes back
with new visuals or revisions to the “final” mix. No problem with a Euphonix. Simply
reload the material on your machines, reload the mix title on the console and get ready
to go to work. Euphonix will recall and reset the mix right back to where you were
when you left it yesterday, last week or last year! No need to spend hours
recreating a mix to make a small change. With Euphonix Total Automation and
SnapShot Recall system engineers get more projects done in a day, with
better sound quality and happier clients. What could be better?
Simple To Operate
Euphonix automation is comprehensive, yet very simple to
operate. There are dedicated keys for master status, and
standard modes such as write, trim, touch record, safe,
monitor-before-record, write-to-head, write-to-end and
write-through the entire mix. It is even possible to
run automation while building in effects or music
tracks without interfering with normal
operation. Parts of the console may be
automated while others may be set to
manual. Automation moves are shown
on screen for each control in the
selected channel.
