PLUGGING UP THE SYSTEM (CONT’D)

CONNECTING CHANNEL INPUTS (CONT’D)

CONNECTING TO CHANNEL INSERTS

You do not need to plug anything into the channel insert socket for normal operation. You

may, however wish to insert a signal processor such as a compressor/limiter or noise gate

into the channel signal path to prevent excessive peaks or to cut down source noise. The

insert lets you do this by breaking the signal path after the input pre-amp and before the EQ.

Use a Y-lead or suitable TRS jack lead to connect to the external processor. The insert

operates at 0dBu line level. Adjust the processor input and output levels for optimum signal

level.

CHANNEL DIRECT OUTPUTS

The channel direct output taps the signal off post-fader (pre-fader if the internal link option is

changed) for connection to external processing or recording equipment. This is ideal for

multitrack recording during a live performance. Here each channel can be recorded on a

separate track for mixdown later. The output is impedance balanced on TRS jack. This

means that you get the benefit of interference immunity when connecting to outboard

equipment with balanced inputs. You can, of course, also connect to unbalanced

equipment. The signal operates at nominal 0dBu line level.

L-R MAIN OUTPUTS

These 3-wire balanced outputs on XLR connectors operate at a nominal +4dBu to drive

professional equipment over long cable runs without interference pickup. Connect to an

amplifier, of suitable power rating for the venue, to drive the PA loudspeakers. Or connect to

a 2-track recorder for studio or location recording.
