# Connecting audio consoles to Relay for scene control

> Connect supported mixing consoles to Relay to sync channel names, recall scenes, and send assignments.

Relay can connect to supported digital mixing consoles over your network, turning your dashboard into a control and monitoring surface for audio workflows.

## What audio console integration provides

* Channel-name sync
* Scene and snapshot recall
* Planning Center assignments to console channels
* Rundown cues and snapshots
* MIDI-based scene mapping on supported models
* Automation destinations

## Add an audio console

1. Open `Relay > Settings > External Devices`.
2. Click `Add Device`.
3. Set the device type to `Audio Console`.
4. Choose the model or family.
5. Enter the host, IP, and port.
6. Configure any model-specific options.
7. Save the device.

## Common model notes

* X32/M32: OSC-based workflows, channel-name sync, cue or snippet sending
* Allen and Heath Qu: MIDI over TCP/IP
* dLive and Avantis: MixRack or Surface target selection
* Yamaha: MIDI input and output plus Program Change mappings
* DiGiCo: show RTF import for channel mapping when needed, plus Relay `1.1.1` adds direct OSC channel-name sync, DiGiCo automation actions, and a clearer Brand/Model split in console settings

## DiGiCo in Relay 1.1.1

Relay `1.1.1` expands DiGiCo workflows in a few practical ways:

* sync channel names from the console directly into Relay
* use DiGiCo trigger actions in the automation graph for macros and OSC commands
* pick channels by name across supported channel types

If you already use Relay for console-linked dashboard cues, `1.1.1` makes DiGiCo setup and automation much easier to maintain.

## Troubleshooting

If the console does not respond, verify the model, IP, port, network path, and any MIDI-specific prerequisites for that console family.
