# Audio Signal Flow in Hub DSP

Here is a visual reference map showing how audio signals enter, travel through the built-in DSP, and exit the Catchbox Hub DSP Receiver.

Use this diagram to plan input gains, signal routing, and output mixes for your room setups.

![Audio Signal Diagram](https://help.catchbox.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Audio%20Signal%20Diagram.jpg?width=670&height=369&name=Audio%20Signal%20Diagram.jpg)

#### **1. Audio Inputs & Gain Stage**

**12 Available Input Channels**  
Accepts up to 4 Catchbox mics (Cube, Clip, Stick), 4 FLEX inputs (3-pin balanced), 4 Dante network inputs, AUX IN (3.5mm), and USB IN.

**Input Gain Control**  
Every input channel (except USB IN) features gain adjustments (-20 dB to +20 dB in 5 dB steps). 

#### **2. Internal Processing Paths**

**12-Channel Automixer**  
Mixer that automatically prioritizes active speakers while attenuating idle mics. Applied to all Catchbox mics; FLEX and Dante inputs configured to **Microphone Mode.**

**Feedback Suppression (In-Room Path)**  
Continuous 5 Hz frequency-shifting algorithm applied to local room outputs (MIXOUT 3-pin and RCA) to prevent room rings and feedback screech. 

**AutoLevel (Video Call Path):** Volume-stabilizing algorithm applied to the USB OUT path to ensure consistent speech volume for online participants on Zoom,  Teams, etc.

**Media Mode Bypass**  
External sources (FLEX, Dante, AUX) configured to Media Mode bypass the Automixer and voice processing entirely, passing raw line-level audio (such as presentation soundtracks) directly to the Mixer Matrix.

#### **3. Outputs & Channel Cloning**

**Mixer Matrix Outputs**  
Independent, customizable audio mixes assigned to 3-PIN MIXOUT L&R (balanced in-room), RCA MIXOUT (unbalanced in-room), and USB MIXOUT (video conferencing).  
  
**Direct Unmixed Outputs**  
Raw, individual microphone channels available on FLEX OUT and Dante OUT.

**Output Channel Cloning**  
Mirrors any processed master mix (e.g., In-Room mix with Feedback Suppression or USB mix with AutoLevel) directly ontoFLEX OUT 1–4 or Dante OUT 1–4 ports.  
  
**Output Gain Stage**  
Output gain control (-20 dB to +20 dB) available across destination channels (except USB OUT).
