Insert points
Insert points allow the signal path to be broken allowing the insertion of some signal processing
device. The device inserted is then in series with the signal path. When not required the device can
either be switched out using the INSERT switch or unplugged from the console.
LF
The Long fader is normally used to feed the mix. The lighter areas of the channel strips are areas
used for the LF signal path. There may be a dark switch labelled SF allowing that facility to be
switched into the SF or short fader path.
Line
The line input is a high level, high input impedance input intended for high level sources such as
the outputs of a DAW or other recording device, sampler etc.
Mic
The microphone input is a low level, low impedance input intended for use by low output devices
such as microphones. This contrasts with the line input which is intended for use by equipment with
high output levels, such as a DAW line output for example.
Mix
This allows signal to be routed to the stereo mix bus which is the main output of the console. This
routing can be applied to both the SF and LF signal paths and is particularly useful during mix
down when as many inputs as possible are often required.
