OPERATION

2.4 USING THE PREAMP OUTPUT AND LINE INPUT AS AN INSERT

Send Return
The FP10 features ¼" TRS balanced and jacks on Channels 1 and 2. These jacks are labeled as
Preamp Output (Send) and Line Input (Return). These connectors allow the use of external processors such as
compressors, limiters, EQ's, de-essers, etc. Simply connect the Preamp Output jack to the line input of your
external processor. Then connect the line output of the external processor to the Line Input 1 or 2 of the FP10.
The input signal from channel 1 and/or 2 is now routed out of the FP10 into the external processor and back
into the FP10. The final, processed signal can now be recorded using channel 1 or 2.
NOTES:
The line inputs on channels 1 and 2 are normalled to the channel 1 & 2 preamp outputs, so take precedence over
the corresponding combination Mic/Instrument input on the front of the FP10. (I.E., if a cable is plugged into
channel one line input on the rear of the FP10, the channel one Mic/Instrument input will be inactive until the
cable is removed from line input one.)
The Preamp Outputs are not connected to the DAC (digital to analogue 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 your recording software and one or more of the Line Outputs.
