Inserts - Calrec SUMMA User Manual

Meter Outputs
• Each of the four meter outputs are available for patching directly to I/O box output ports to feed external, third party
meters.
Talkback Output
• The talkback output feed is provided to allow you to patch the talkback feed to a specific location.
Tone Output
• As well as being routed to paths, tone can be hard-patched to an I/O box or Hydra patchbay output using the tone
output.

Inserts

• Inserts provide a quick way to insert third-party signal processing equipment into a system.
• Each insert has a send and a return, providing a convenient break in the signal chain.
• Insert sends and returns appear in the I/O patching screen from where they can be patched to I/O box ports for
connection to external devices.
• Inserts are available for faders, mains, groups and console monitors.
• A fader insert is available for each fader on the surface. Anything inserted into a fader's insert affects the path
currently attached to that fader. If the path is moved to a different fader, the insert will move along with it.
• Each insert has an individual 'IN/OUT' switch.
• Although mains and groups can be attached to faders and so fader inserts can be used, main and group inserts are
also provided for processing these paths when they are not attached to faders.
• Monitor inserts are used to insert processing into monitor feeds.
