Input and output patchingThis chapter explains how to edit the input patching and output patching, how to connect 
inserts, and how to use direct outputs.
When the CL series is in the initial state, the following input ports (jacks/ports) are patched to 
each input channel.
For CL5
For CL3
For CL1
When the CL is in the initial state, the output ports (jacks/ports) are patched to the following 
output channels.
CL console internal patching and Dante audio

Input patchingCL series consoles and I/O devices feature two types of patching: Dante audio network 
patching and CL console internal patching.
For Dante audio network patching, you will use the DANTE INPUT PATCH window. In this 
window, you can patch the CL console and I/O device inputs. Sixty-four (64) channels can be 
input from a Dante audio network to a CL series console. You can choose up to 64 channels 
from a maximum of 512 channels (logical value) of Dante audio network signals. Select the I/
O device (up to 64 channels) that you want to control from the CL series console.
Then, route the input signals (that were patched in the DANTE INPUT PATCH screen) to 
channels on the CL series console. To do this, choose input ports from DANTE 1-64 in the 
G A I N / PAT C H  s c r e e n .
NOTE
By default, DANTE 1-64 are assigned to input channels 1-64.
Output patchingUse the OUTPUT PORT screen to patch the CL console's output channels and Dante audio 
network. In this window, assign output channel signals to DANTE 1-64 ports.
NOTE
By default, MIX 1 - 24 are assigned to DANTE 1 - 24, MATRIX 1 - 8 are assigned to DANTE 25 
- 32, STEREO L/R are assigned to DANTE 33/34, and MONO is assigned to DANTE 35.
Next, patch the output signals from DANTE 1-64 (assigned in the OUTPUT PORT SETUP 
screen) to I/O rack outputs. Use the OUTPUT PATCH screen of the I/O RACK to make these 
assignments.
Changing the input patching
NOTEYou can also select an input port from the GAIN/PATCH screen.
