The studio-wide audio network — the same for every band. Stage sources run over snakes and AES50 into the M32C, across MADI to Pro Tools and the converters, out to monitoring, with the analog mastering chain patched through Patch XT and the Flock Patch. (Generated from the master draw.io "New Audio Channel Network".)
How it flows
- Stage → desk. In-ear monitors, the Front Stage Snake (12 out) and Rear Stage Snake (16 out / 4 in) feed the Stagebox (32 in / 16 out), which links to the MIDAS M32C over AES50 A. Snakes also feed the Grace M801 mk2 and Phoenix DRS8 MKII mic pres.
- MADI core. The M32C crosses to the PCIe Card 3 MADI (Pro Tools) and the 32-channel AD/DA converters, hubbed through the FerroFish A32 Pro over MADI optical.
- Monitoring. The MADI card feeds the Grace M905 monitor controller → Cue Mix and AES OUT.
- Mastering. The analog outboard (Shelford, Manley Core/Force, Heritage 1073) patches through Patch XT and the Flock Patch back into the FerroFish.
The per-channel D-sub patch assignments behind Patch XT and the Flock Patch are mapped separately (rack + DB25/D-sub mapping).
