Section 1: Introduction SECTION 1 : INTRODUCTION he Euphonix CS3000 & CS2000 are digitally controlled analog audio mixing systems. The system foundation consists of four component parts: the digital Mix Controller, the Audio Tower, the patchbay, and the support computer.
Page 18: The Audio Tower
The result is an electronically well-managed audio control system. Since all of the analog audio circuitry is in a remote Tower, the Euphonix Mix Controller is sleek and compact, freeing up valuable control room real estate. The remote location of the...

Page 245: The Gainball And Rms Vs. Peak Detectors
Because the RMS and Peak levels of the side chain signal are not generally the same, the GainBall must choose which one to follow. To address this situation, Euphonix has adopted the following convention: When a Peak- driven processor (gate or peak limiter) is adjusted, the GainBall follows the Peak level of the side chain signal.
