ANALOG STUDIO SETUP II

ANALOG STUDIO SETUP II

• Patchbay Wiring - Console I/O

2
Using the subgroups or DOs, the console sends
the mic/line inputs to the multi-track
Audio from mics and instruments go into the
channel strips mic inputs
Recorded tracks return to the console for
monitoring and mixing
The final mix (main L/R) is sent to the two-track
and recorded. Returns from the two-track connect
to center section inputs.
Center Section outputs connect to control room
monitors (amps) and cue system.

The I/Os of a Channel Strip

• Direct Out/Tape Send - This channel strip output
  occurs after the EQ, and insert point. The output
  is either the channel fader output or the output
  of a bus (bus 4 shown), depending on the
  direct/group out switch. These are used to
  connect MTRs with more tracks (for example a 24
  track) than available bus outputs (i.e. an 8 bus
  console)
• Tape Return - This is used to monitor the MTR on
  the monitor (Mix B) inputs while tracking.
• Insert - This unbalanced point sends and returns
  audio on one TRS jack. Typically used to insert
  outboard (dynamics or EQ) processing.
• Line in/ Mic in - These inputs are the signals
  that will occupy the channel path. These cannot
  be used at the same time, and are selected by the
  Mic/Line switch at the top of the channel strip.

Recording Consoles Center Section I/O

Recording Consoles Center Section I/O

• Mix/ Mix B Outputs - Feeds the main mix buss
  outputs to two- track recorder inputs.
• CRM/ALT O/P - This output feeds the CR source to
  the main or alternate set of control room monitor
  amplifiers.
• 2TK A/B Inputs - Connects the line level outputs
  of 2 sets of 2-track recorders to the CR source
  select switch.
• Group/Mix Insert - This unbalanced point sends
  and returns audio on one TRS jack. Used to
  insert processing across an individual bus or a
  mix bus.
• STU O/P - Used to send the studio foldback
  source to studio monitor amplifiers (i.e. a PA
  system in the studio).

Recording Consoles Center Section I/O

• STU PHNS B Sends the signal selected in the
  Studio B Phones Output to the cue system
  amplifiers.
• FX Inputs Used to connect outputs from
  additional 2 track sources or time-based effects
  units. These signals show up on the stereo FX
  input pots in the center section.
• Aux Outputs - Used to create parallel sends to
  time based effects, etc. Often time these normal
  to time based FX inputs on the patchbay.
• Bus Outputs - These are additional individual
  bus outputs. The individual bus outs are also
  present on the channel strip outputs when the
  group/direct switch is set to group.
