Instrument DI Inputs 1
Overview 1
In addition to the two 1073 microphone preamp inputs, the 8424 has two
760 kΩ Instrument DI channels that can be routed to various points on the
console. The Instrument DI inputs are ¼’’ Jack connectors (balanced or
unbalanced) that are located conveniently underneath the front of the
console. This allows for instrument tracking directly from the studio control
room. The 8424 Instrument DI’s have Smart Routing, enabling them to
be routed to console channels 19 & 20 at the push of a button with no
patching required.
Instrument D.I Controls 1
Each Instrument D.I channel has a level control which runs from -20dB to
+5dB. The SIG light at the top of each level control illuminates at
-30dB and will illuminate at +17dB to indicate Overload.
The instrument D.I channels have no default routing, this must be assigned
using the 500 series slots or the smart routing TO CH switches.
The level pot has smart routing, this push-function pot can be pressed to
assign the output of each preamp to channels 19 and 20 Input B
respectively. TO CH 19/20 light will illuminate to indicate that the DI
outputs are routed to channel 19 and 20.
-25 pad reduces the incoming signal by 25dB
500 series routing 1
Each of the two Instrument DI inputs can use the 500 series slots 1 or 2 as
inserts before the TO CH routing. The 500-1 500-2 switches at the bottom of
the Instrument DI section activate the 500 slots inserts.
Each of the two instrument D.I preamps can be routed to the 500 series
slots 1 or 2 by using the 500-1 500-2 routing switches at the bottom of the
instrument DI section.
Instrument DI Level is not included in the Save/Load Recall feature.
