Signal Processor Routing

In keeping with SSL's legendary range of large-format consoles, the AWS 900+ provides comprehensive signal
processor routing facilities. Each channel strip has access to up to three separate signal processing devices:
• 4-band parametric equaliser and high pass filter
• Assignable dynamics section comprising a compressor/limiter and expander/gate
• Any device connected the channel insert point

Three buttons – IP, OP,
where each processor will be placed in the signal chain. Three
additional buttons are provided to switch each device into circuit:

EQ IN, INS(ert) IN
Two further buttons – Dynamics 1 and 2
on one or other of the assignable dynamics sections.
The table below shows the routing possibilities along with some
applications for the insert send/return where it is not needed for
use with an external processor (note that selected buttons are
shown with white text on a black background).
