Return 1 and 2 (Line Inputs).
These are the line-level inputs for channels 1 & 2. Their gain structure
is identical to the ¼” inputs for channels 3-8 and are typically used for signals not requiring
preamplification (like CD/MP3 players, effects processors, etc.) These inputs are normalled to the
channel 1 & 2 preamp outputs so take precedence over the corresponding Mic/Instrument input on the
front of the FireStudio. (i.e. if a cable is plugged into channel one return input on the rear of the
FireStudio, the channel one Mic/Instrument input will be inactive until the cable is removed from return
input one.)
Send 1 and 2 (Preamp 1 and 2 Outputs).
These ¼” jacks are balanced outputs of the preamps on
channels 1 & 2. They are half-normalled to the preamp inputs 1 & 2, so plugging a cable into either of
the preamp outputs does not interrupt the signal flow from the preamps to the ADC.
NOTE: The Send outputs are typically used for patching in external signal processors such as
compressors, limiters, EQ’s, de-essers, etc. to the audio signals on channels 1 or 2. These outputs are
not connected to the DAC (digital to analog converters) in any way and so are only capable of routing
the input signals from channels 1 & 2. If you need to route recorded audio or input from channels 3-8,
you will need to use the FireStudio Control Console to route the input to one or more of the General
Purpose Outputs.
