Applications Super Clean Recording This example shows the shortest possible (lowest distortion) analogue signal path from mic to tape. It bypasses all EQ and Dynamics functions. Record Channel This example shows the ISA430 being used for mic or guitar recording. The insert point may be used to add external processing ‘in-line’ if required. - Page 11 Split + Digital Record Mode * This example shows the insert send feeding the “External I/P A/D Direct” input. This allows an analogue input to be connected to the insert return, and then routed, via the dynamics modules, to the digital output. * Requires optional ISA430 Digital Output Board.
