Output Channels - Yamaha M7CL Owner's Manual

The M7CL provides the following input channels and output channels.
■ Input channels
This section processes an input signal and sends it to vari-
ous buses (STEREO, MONO, MIX, MATRIX). There are
two types of input channel, as follows.
● INPUT channels 1–32 {1–48}
These channels are used to process monaural signals. By
default, the input signals from the monaural analog input
jacks (INPUT jacks 1–32 {INPUT jacks 1–48}) are
assigned to these channels.
● ST IN channels 1–4
These channels are used to process stereo signals. By
default, the input signals from EFFECT RETURN 1–4 are
assigned to these channels.
Signal assignments to the input channels can be changed
as desired.

■ Output channels

This section mixes the signals sent from input channels
etc., and sends them to the corresponding output ports or
output buses. There are three types of output channel, as
follows.
● MIX channels 1–16
These channels process the signals sent from input chan-
nels to the MIX buses, and send them from the output
ports. These are used mainly to send signals to the monitor
system or to external effects. The signals of MIX channels
1–16 can also be sent to the STEREO bus, MONO bus, or
MATRIX buses.
When the M7CL is in the default state, the following out-
put ports are assigned.
MIX channels 1–12 OMNI OUT jacks 1–12
MIX channels 1–8 Slot 1 output channels 1–8, 9–16
MIX channels 9–16 Slot 2 output channels 1–8, 9–16
● MATRIX channels 1–8
These channels process the signals that are sent from input
channels, MIX channels, STEREO channel, and MONO
channel to the MATRIX buses, and send them from the
output ports. Using the STEREO and MONO buses, dif-
ferent combinations of signals and mix balances can be
sent out from the M7CL.
When the M7CL is in the default state, the following out-
put ports are assigned.
MATRIX channels 1/2 OMNI OUT jacks 13/14
MATRIX channels 1–8 Slot 3 output channels 1–8, 9–16

● STEREO channel / MONO channel
These channels process the signals that are sent from the
input channels or MIX channels, and send them to the cor-
responding output port. These channels are used as the
main stereo output and monaural output.
The STEREO channel and MONO channel can be used
either to output independent signals, or for three-channel
L/C/R playback.
When the M7CL is in the default state, the following out-
put ports are assigned.
STEREO channel L OMNI OUT jack 15, 2TR OUT DIGITAL jack L
STEREO channel R OMNI OUT jack 16, 2TR OUT DIGITAL jack R
MONO channel No assignment
Signal assignments to the output channels can be changed
as desired.
