Chapter 7: Using The Gate
Interfacing with the console
The DN530 is optimised for use at line level, therefore to gate a mic, the input to the
DN530 has to be taken from the console, preferably from the channel insert point send.
The output from the DN530 comes back to the channel insert return. By connecting the
DN530 at this position in the signal chain, its operation is unaffected by the use of any
of the console controls, except input gain.

An alternative is to connect to the group insert point of the console. This is useful when
many inputs are mixed down to a smaller number of outputs. A given number of gates
can achieve a greater coverage.
