Channel Inserts - Peavey Mixer User Manual

Each Channel of the Automix 4 has an insert connection that has several uses for connecting external components. The follow-
ing examples and connection diagrams illustrate the most common method of using this powerful feature. For proper automat-
ic mixing, the signal gain of the external component MUST be 0 db (unity). NOTE: These connections are unbalanced. Care
should be taken when considering the distance, type of wire and type of external connection.

In this example, the link switch is in it's normal BYPASS mode. The INS OUT connector provides a "tap" of the Channel's
automatically processed output signal just before the summing bus. When configuring the Automix 4 with direct outputs, the
master balanced output and the master line output are still active.

This example shows a "loop" to an external
device, such as an equalizer or compressor.
The INS OUT connection is made after the
Channel's automatic gain stage, and just
before the summing stage. To enable this
feature, the INS BYPASS/ENABLE switch
must be in the ENABLE mode.

You can also use this feature to provide
four direct outputs, one for each Channel.
In this example, the INS BYPASS/ENABLE
switch should be in BYPASS mode.
