Multi-format/Routing Panel The OXF-R3 has 48 Multitrack Busses with access from all of the 96 Full input channels, as well as the Stereo Sub-Groups and the Main Stereo Bus output. The console distributes the 48 Multitrack Busses to two DASH machines via dual dedicated multitrack MADI outputs. -
Page 15: Aux Sends
The OXF-R3 has 24 Aux Send Busses that are accessible from all of the mono and stereo input channels. Adjacent odd and even Aux Sends can be linked to form stereo pairs for cue or stereo reverb outputs. In the Stereo mode, the even numbered Aux Send level controls function as pan controls. - Page 16 It is easy to link and key dynamics processing between channels, as Dynamics mode GUI showing the optional DMSK-R3001 Software the OXF-R3 supports both Link to Neighbour and Side-Chain Busses.
