Stereo Operation & Signal Routing - Source Audio Atlas Compressor SA252 User Manual

Stereo Operation & Signal Routing
The Atlas is flexible for many different use cases due to its stereo INPUT and OUTPUT jacks. By
default, the Atlas auto-detects the cables connected to INPUTS and OUTPUTS 1 & 2 and engages the
appropriate Routing Mode. Stereo Routing can also be performed manually with the Neuro Editors,
select between "Mono In, Stereo Out" or "Stereo In, Stereo Out."
There are four routing modes available when the Atlas is in its default Auto Detect mode. See
detailed descriptions of each Auto Detect mode in the sections below.

Stereo In, Mono Out
Mono In, Mono Out
This is the most common use case. Plugging the incoming signal into INPUT 1 with OUTPUT 1
connected to an amp (or the next device in the signal chain) produces a standard mono signal. Dual
processing effects are also mixed down a single output.
Mono In, Stereo Out
This is a very common use case that allows you to create some nice stereo imaging from a single
mono instrument input or use your Atlas as a splitter to send your signal to two separate outputs.
When the unit is bypassed in this mode, it will automatically switch to Soft Bypass mode to maintain
the bypass signal on the Channel 2 output. When Ch. 1 and Ch. 2 are linked, the output will be the
same for both channels. When they are unlinked, you can configure separate settings for Channel 2.
