After getting 5 Presonus Sceptre S8's I was hooking them up to my Presonus Studio 192 Mobile. Upon hooking them up I discovered that playing through the individual speakers is not working properly. Here's the situation: NOTE In "Audio midi setup" on MAC the setup is named differently than what is displayed in Logic Pro X. Where Logic Pro X utilizes the Standard 5.1 ITU setup and "AMS" is named from Presouns = Main out Left, Main out Right, Line Out 1, Line Out 2, Line Out 3, Line Out 4. Listed in UC Surface Speaker are receiving signal properly through "DAW input"

Set up:

Pink noise is being sent to each speaker.

Front Left (FL) = Normal (Main out Left)

Front Right (FR) = Normal (Main out Right)

Front Center (FC) = Signal to FL + C (Line out 3)

LFE = Signal sent to FR Speaker

Left Surround = Signal sent to FL

Right Surround = Signal sent to FR

In using the UC Surface interface I can select Speaker Sets A, B, and C. Where Set "A" is controlling monitors FL and FR and LFE where set "C" is controlling FC. How do I send individual signals to the individual speakers? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It is not possible to split A, B, or C into individual signals. I sure wish there was a way because I would love to utilize surround sound 5.1 with just my Studio 192. They are all L/R : ( There may be a way to connect a secondary device though. Im not aware of anything like that though. If I was you, I would get in touch with sweet water. Their techs are very knowledgable and can pretty much help you figure out what you need and how to do it.
