Each channel on Matrix has two line inputs: The first input would normally be sourced from the
output of a mic preamp, DI box or instrument and is labelled on the back of the desk as 'LINE
IN'. The second input would normally be fed from the output of the DAW and labelled as 'DAW
Return'. The Channel Input (CHIP) is sourced from the line in by default, and it is this
input that is referred to wherever the

The post-gain channel signal is always available to the Insert Matrix. Pressing the

Note that if you press the

Direct Channel Outputs
The individual Channel Outputs (CHOP), are designed to be used to feed the inputs of a DAW, and appear on
the desk's rear panel as CHANNEL OUT. The

or POST-fader, as selected by the
default setting.
The line-out's source is indicated by the LEDs to the right of the gain pot and by the colour of the
