Direct Access to ADC
The Insert return connection on the iD44
is a electronically balanced input stage
that directly drives the analogue to digital
converter for that channel.
As such, this is a great place to input
signals directly to the ADC, bypassing the
preamplifiers and minimising any colouration
of the signal.
This makes it useful to patch in external
microphone preamplifiers without adding
additional colouration or noise. It is also handy
for using the iD44’s outputs to drive external
eects before returning them into your DAW
using the insert returns.
Please note; the digital calibration level of the
iD44’s converters is 0dBFS = +18dBu.
Patching Inserts
To incorporate your favourite processing
before conversion, simply patch the iD44
insert send into the first piece of gear in your
processing chain. Then take the output of the
last device in the chain and patch this into the
iD44 insert return.
