Using The Q5 With A Patchbay - Samson Q5 Owner's Manual

Using the Q5 with a Patchbay

If you are using the Q5 with an audio patchbay, you may find it advanta-
geous to connect its Left/Right Amp Inputs directly to a pair of patch
points. This way, you can opt to route signal to the Q5 from any source.
In a recording environment, for example, you may typically use a pair of
mixer Auxiliary sends for a stereo headphone (cue) mix. For maximum
convenience and flexibility, we recommend that you half-normal those
sends to the Q5 input patchpoints so that the connection will automati-
cally be made unless a patch cable is inserted. If a different signal (such
as a stereo bus output or a different pair of auxiliary sends) needs to be
substituted, you can then override this connection simply by inserting a
patch cable.
