COMPRESSOR/LIMITERS
These are often used in location recording to prevent
unexpected signal peaks overloading the recorder.
Here, a typical small STUDIO RECORDING setup
is shown with 4-track multitrack and 2-track master-
ing recorders (ideal for hard disk and DAT recording
systems). The dedicated 2-track sends or the balanced
L,R outputs may be used to feed the 2-track.
Select aux 1 to 4 post-fade for the effects processors.
Two stereo devices are illustrated here with their
outputs returned to the stereo channels. Additional
floating effects devices may be patched into the chan-
nel or output inserts as shown.
Select aux 5 and 6 pre-fade to provide a stereo cue to
the musicians headphones. Alternatively these may be
set post-fade for additional effects and the L,R outputs
used for cue.
The additional rear panel phones/monitor output feeds
the studio reference loudspeaker system to monitor the
console signals and recorded tracks without interrupt-
ing the recording itself.
For LIVE RECORDING the channel inserts may be
tapped (link send to return) to provide additional pre-
fade direct feeds to a multitrack.
