DL471 DSP Operator Manual 23 Appendix C: XL8 Live Performance System The XL8 Live Performance System is a very powerful and flexible audio processing system that provides a complete solution for any audio mixing and signal distribution application in a live sound environment. The standard XL8 system offers 96 channel inputs, 51 outputs, 51 buses (32 auxes/groups, 16 matrices and three masters), 16 on-board effects processors, PEQs (four-band on inputs and six-band on outputs), up to 48 assignable GEQs (if all stereo effects units are being used), 16 configurable stereo effects (from eight options), surround panning (5. 1, LCRS and quad) and comprehensive, easy-to-use routing. XL8 automation provides up to 1, 000 scenes with snapshot save/recall capability and global edit, presets and show file archiving. The XL8 Control Centre forms the core of the XL8 Live Performance System, which also includes a number of 19" rack modules that are interconnected by a networked data system. The network carries both proprietary control data and open architecture AES50 digital audio, and uses readily available standard cabling and connectors. Third party hardware and software (and plug-ins) can be easily integrated into the system. Included with the XL8 Control Centre are four mic splitters, five I/O units, 10 DSP units, two routers and a Klark Teknik DN9331 RAPIDE that, collectively, form the standard XL8 Live Performance System configuration. The XL8 Live Performance System is tolerant of any single failure of hardware or software. To achieve this the system employs dual redundancy, where a key component has an identical redundant spare that is ready to take over should it fail. Other failure scenarios are managed by the N+1 principle, where redundant components form an acceptable fraction of the system, for example, one of the DSP units in the rack is a redundant spare. Features Please remember, the XL8 is not just a console, it's a LIVE PERFORMANCE SYSTEM!
