INSERT
The INSERT jacks make it possible for an individual channel to be processed with external effects,
without affecting other channels, and without hogging the EFFECTS BUS.
This
is
particularly
useful
for
adding
special
effects
to
single
instruments,
without
disturbing
the
other
instruments.
Examples
include
adding
delay
to
vocals,
compression
to
bass
guitar,
gated
reverb
to
a
snare
drum,
etc.
This
is
how
it
works.
A
signal
enters
the
board
at
a
1/4"
or
XLR
jack.
It
goes
through
the
preamp
and
then
gets
sent
out
of
the
board
on
the
special
TRS
(Tip-Ring-Sleeve)
insert
plug.
The
signal
leaves
the
equalizer
and
mixer
on
the
TIP
section
of
the
TRS
plug,
goes
through
the
external
effects,
and
returns to
the mixer
on
the RING
section of
the TRS
plug.
When it
returns
to
the mixer,
the
new,
effected
signal
continues
through
the
channel
to
the
channel
fader,
as
if
nothing
special
had
happened.
TAPE CUE OUT
The
TAPE
CUE
OUT
jack
outputs
the
playback
of
all
recorded
tracks
in
mono.
The
output
level
for
each
individual
track
can
be
adjusted
with
the
TAPE
CUE
knobs.
This feature is very useful for monitoring dry tracks without effects, and for sending a separate, dry,
monitor mix to musicians.
Note:
TAPE
CUE
OUT
affects
the
4
recorded
tracks
ONLY.
It
will
not
output
any
effects
or
instruments
added
in the mixer section, unless
they
have
been recorded
to
a
track.
EFFECT SEND
The
EFFECT
SEND
jack
sends
the
effects
bus
signal
(in
mono)
to
external
processing
gear
such
as
reverb.
The
output
level
for
any
individual
channel
can
be
adjusted
by
Effect
knob
on
on
that
channel,
and
the
overall
output
level
can
be
adjusted
by
the
EFFECT
MASTER.
EFFECT RETURN
The
EFFECT
RETURN
jack
receives
the
changed
(effected)
signal
from
the
external
effects.
Even
though
the
effects
send
is
mono
only,
the
EFFECT
RETURN
can
accept
stereo
signals,
or
mono
signals.
Mono
signals
should
be
plugged
into
the
left
side
of
the
stereo
EFFECT
RETURN.
The
amount
of
this
signal
which
is
mixed
into
the
STEREO
BUS,
is
controlled
by
the
effect
return
knob
on
the
front
panel.
