MH-03 · Conference and stage modes

Functional reference design: six individual conference microphone feeds, echo reference, separate USB call send and return, room sound, four monitor mixes and recording.

MH-03-audio · Audio & return pathsSix independent speech AEC channels receive an external reference. Remote return enters room and recording mixes, never the call send. Eight stage inputs and four monitors belong to the separate stage mode. Reference design; 48 kHz audio. Stage mode disconnects call; conference mutes stage inputs. AEC-clean returns never feed PA or AEC microphone inputs. Raw speech never joins clean speech in conference recording. Six microphone inputs use individual pre-processing direct outs. Repeated device identifiers refer to the same equipment across views. Equipment illustrations are schematic; labels define quantities.{"sourceHash":"1aa3f3caaf87e3d22e99510f44ef044e54dc10bff8a7a86e4a6887ad8a68f077","view":"audio","nodes":["RF","SB","WIRED","EX","MIX","AEC","UC","PA","SP","FILL","MON","REC"],"edges":["L01","L02","L03","L04","L05","L06","L07","L08","L09","L10","L11","L12","L13","L14","L15","L16"]}PIXEL COMMAND SOLUTIONS / MH-03-audio / AUDIO & RETURN PATHSAudio & return pathsREFERENCE DESIGN · PROJECT VALIDATION REQUIREDRF → SB: 6 analogue6 speech channelsWIRED → SB: 8 analogue8 stagechannelsEX → SB: stereo line: 2 analogueStereo contentSB → MIX: 16 Dante via AV switch16 DantechannelsMIX → AEC: Dante 1-6: individual raw speech1–6 · raw speechMIX → AEC: Dante 7-8: direct content L/R7–8 · content L/RMIX → AEC: Dante 9-10: reference AUX7-8 post-fader remote + content only same dual-mono PA content9–10 · AEC referenceAEC → UC: USB send: AEC speech + content remote excludedUSB send · noremoteUC → AEC: USB receive: remote L/RUSB receive · remoteAEC → MIX: Dante TX1-2: remote L/RTX1–2 · remote L/RAEC → MIX: Dante TX3-8: AEC-clean speech6 record-only returnsTX3–8 · clean speechMIX → PA: ST L/R: 2 line outputsST L/R · room mixPA → SP: line 1-2Line 1–2PA → FILL: line 3-4Line 3–4MIX → MON: AUX1-4: 4 mono line outputsAUX1–4 · stage onlyMIX → REC: AUX5-6: stereo line conference: clean speech + content + remote stage: raw sources + contentAUX5–6 · recording6 wireless speech channelsRF6 wireless speechchannels1 stagebox 16 analogue inputs usedSB1 stagebox8 wired microphone / DI channels stage mode onlyWIRED8 wired microphone /DI channels1 HDMI interface same device as video drawingEX1 HDMI interface1 console: at least 32 inputs 24 processing channels used ST stereo + 8 mono-equivalent AUXMIX1 console: at least 32inputs1 AEC DSP: 6 speech AEC Dante licence at least 16x16 RX 10 / TX 8 used reference L/R summed to monoAEC1 AEC DSP: 6 speechAEC1 conference PC same device as video drawingUC1 conference PC1 room DSP 2 in / 4 out usedPA1 room DSP2 powered main groups cabinet count by coverage designSP2 powered main groups2 powered front fillsFILL2 powered front fills4 powered monitors muted in conference baselineMON4 powered monitors1 recorder/encoder same device as video drawingREC1 recorder/encoderAudioUSB / KVM
