Hi,
when connecting a stereo paired channel to sockets, you can only use consecutive sockets starting with an odd number, for example:
Stereo-Paired Channel 7/8 → Socket 11/12
I know that normally this is completly no problem – but why is it not possible to patch “freely”? It could be helpful if you get the rider from a band, prepare everything, and they finally come to stage with a different setup. In such cases a free-stereo-patching can help, for example:
Stereo-Paired Channel 7/8 → Socket 12/21
Best Regards,
Tobias
PS: @Hugh: If you really need to answer this, please be polite and helpful.
