Configuring System Audio 69
When using more than one type of Stage IO unit, group units by type and connect them in series in the CONNECTED DEVICES
column, such as all Stage 64(s), then all Stage 32s, then all Stage 16s. The order of Stage I/O devices in the Connected Devices col-
umn does not need to match the order of physical network connections.
Virtual Soundcheck: Important Note
Slot designation (1–6) determines where I/O appears in the Patchbay I/O tabs 1–6, which
also determines Virtual Soundcheck channel order. For example, each Stage 16 slot occupies 16 channels of Virtual Soundcheck.
However, switching any slot from Stage 64 to Stage 16 creates four available Stage 16 slots. Even if only one Stage 16 I/O unit is
physically connected and the remaining three Stage 16 slots are empty, if a Stage 64 was assigned and connected to slot 5 the
Pro Tools inputs corresponding to that Stage 64 will begin at channel 65. To avoid this, it is recommended to assign Stage 64s (if
any) to the lowest numbered slots
1–3 whenever possible, followed by any Stage 32s, followed by any Stage 16s.
8 Once firmware updates are complete, dismiss all alerts and dialogs by selecting OK in each one.
9 If desired, give each Stage I/O unit a unique name by doing the following:
• Make sure the system is in Config mode (see
Enabling Config ModeEnabling Config Mode).
• In the Options > Devices tab of the external screen, select the appropriate Stage I/O graphic so it is outlined in blue.
• In the Information pane, select the DEVICE tab.
• Touch-and-hold (double-click) the field next to Name, enter a unique name using the keyboard, then press Enter.
10 Do the following:
• If your system does not include any Local 16s, proceed to the next step on this page.
• If your system does include Local 16, proceed to Assigning Local 16.
11 Shut down your system by doing the following:
• Make sure the system is in Config mode.
• On the external VENUE software screen, go to the
Options > System tab.
•Select Shut Down, then select Shut Down again to confirm.
12 Power down all connected components by pressing their back panel power switches to the off (0) positions, and leave all com-
ponents powered-off for at least 30 seconds.
13 Power the components back on in the following order:
• E6L engine
• S6L control surface
• Any connected Stage I/O units
14 Wait for the CTMs to complete their final software update, then proceed to
Setting the System Clock.
You can reassign Stage I/O units at any time after initial software installation, and after all necessary firmware updates are
completed. If you are replacing Stage units with one of a different type, simply select and Disconnect the unwanted Stage I/O
unit in the Connected Devices list, re-assign the corresponding Stage slot if necessary, then assign the desired Stage I/O units.
See Managing Connections for additional information.
Stage unit names will appear in the corresponding tab of the Patchbay. Device names are not saved as part of Show files, they
are stored in the hardware unit. In addition, you cannot rename devices in the Standalone software.
A complete power-cycle is required before using your S6L system.
