Chapter 8: Outputs and Output Routing 73
Setting the Hardware Insert Location
You can choose the location of the hardware insert in the sig-
nal path, relative to the four plug-in inserts, for each channel.
A hardware insert does not need to be currently assigned to do
this.
To set the hardware insert location:
1 Go to the Outputs page and select the channel where you
want to set the hardware insert location.
2 In the Inserts section of the Outputs page, click the hard-
ware insert indicator so that it lights red.
Activating and Bypassing Inserts
After hardware and plug-in inserts are assigned to an Output
bus, they can be activated and bypassed from the console or
the corresponding Output page controls.
To activate or bypass an Output bus insert:
1 Target the bus by pressing its Select switch.
2 Press any of the Plug-In switches, or click the HW in/out
switch on-screen, to activate or bypass the corresponding In-
sert. The switch lights when the Insert is activated. (Hardware
inserts cannot be bypassed from D-Show Profile; use the
on-screen control instead.
Inserting the Built-In Graphic EQ on
Output Busses
A built-in 31-band Graphic EQ can be inserted on any of the

Groups), Auxes, Matrixes, and PQs. A maximum of 24
