Number of Buses - Mixer Models
The number of Mix, Group and Aux buses available in a S5 Fu-
sion console is dependent on the number of DSP cards and the
selected Mixer Model. A second DSP card may be added at any
time to increase the number of channels.

knobsets also include an overall group send level control.

sends on the knobset. The example on the right shows typical
Aux sends with 1 & 2 working as a stereo send with pan. Sends
can be individually set to feed pre or post-fader and can be used
as effects sends or foldback sends. Aux masters are controlled
from the center section and include individual talkback and tone
insert provisions. Each send may be named to reflect its destina-
tion. Aux sends can be flipped to be controlled from the faders
- very useful for setting complex monitor mixes and sends.
