channel direct outputs may be used to directly route signals to appropriate

channels on the multi-track tape recorder. Simply leave the channel assignment

switches in the "up" or unassigned position. This will interrupt the signal flow to

the eight main outputs while still offering the signal at the channel direct

outputs. You may then route the channel direct output signal to the input of a

particular channel on your multi-track deck. This will allow the most direct

connectio of a channel signal to the multi-track deck. The direct output is both

post fader and post equalizer.

Channel direct outputs are an alternate means of routing

signals to your multi-track tape recorder. They allow

you to effectively bypass any output "summing" circuitry

and thereby offer a more direct signal path to the tape deck.

This affords better overall noise performance and frees up

the output channels for any additional sub-grouping that you

may require.

* The channel patch allows you to access a channel for inserting

various effects or signal processing equipment. Usually these jacks are used with

such signal processing equipment as compressors, limiters. de-essers, exciters,

delays, EQ's, etc. These jacks allow you to address particular channels for problem

situations requiring special attention. For instance, if you have a vocal input

requiring compression, uand more precise equalization you may wish to patch in

a more elaborate equalizer and a compressor. This allows you to affect that

particular channel without affecting adjacent channels. And. you achieve your

objective of fine tuning the vocal.

* The send jack is used to send the signal from the channel to your

signal processing eqipment. This jack accesses the signal pre-fader. The normal

signal routing through the channel is not disturbed when plugging into this

jack. So, the "Send" jack may also be used as a pre -fader, post -Equalizer send,

simultaneous to normal signal routing through the channel.

* When you plug the output of your processing equipment back into

the "Return" jack (1/4" phone plug input), the signal flow through the channel is

interrupted. Only signals appearing at the Effects Return jack are then routed

through the channel. This interruption of the normal signal path forces the

signals from the mic or line input through the send jack Post- Equalizer, into your

signal processing equipment and subsequently back into the channel via the

"Return" jack. Returned signals through this jack are then normally routed

through the channel. So, you could use the Effects Return jack as a Post -EQ line

input to the channel. Remember, any signal source plugged into the mic input

will be interrupted whenever plugging into the Effects Return jack (unless

looped from the Effects Send back through the Effects Return).

* The Sub-Output patch jacks allow you to add signal processing to

each of the sub-group outputs. The "Send" and "Recieve" are both Pre -Output
