DuTCH audio IM1.3 manual (v1.1 29-06-2021) Thank you for purchasing the DuTCH audio Insert Machine IM1.3. In this manual we will explain how this device works and how to use it. Since this is not really a beginner’s device, we will skip the basics and focus on it’s functions. We will go from the inputs (left side), to the inserts (middle) and to the outputs (right side), basically how the device handles signals.

Operation: Input: Active gain: The input is passive with just relays, but by pushing the ‘active gain’ button you will enable the active gain stage which enables you to change the input gain to your liking. In the mid/0 position, there is no gain applied though it passes the active gain circuit. You can change the gain in 23x0.5dB steps from +5.5dB to -5.5dB with stepped switches.

The IM1.3 has balanced inputs. Both inputs consist of gold-plated Neutrik XLR’s. Inserts: The IM1.3 has 8 balanced inserts connected on the back with industry standard Tascam DB25 analog connectors. Each connector holds 2 inserts corresponding with the frontpanel numbering.

When this device is used in passive mode, so without active stages, it’s 100% passive and only relay-contacts are inline. This means it’s basically a straight wire. Pushswitch labeling: To have some extra visual feedback on the push-switches you can put labels under the switch-covers.
