4. Wiring Examples

4.1 Studio set-up

The following wiring example shows a studio set-up for 4-track-recording:

the drums are mixed down to two subgroups and then routed via the subgroup outputs to two tracks of the multi-track recorder. The remaining two subgroups are used to record the guitar, keyboard (stereo channel) and two vocal signals

on the remaining two tracks. The four return paths from the recorder are connected to four separate mono input channels on the EURODESK. The built-in compressor is used only for the bass, which is why this input channel is separate from all buses (SUB and MAIN switch not pressed). The bass signal is directly routed from the built-in effects processor to the respective subgroups

(FX TO MAIN control). The MAIN/SUB switch in the FX1 section is pressed, but NOT the SUB 1/2 SUB 3/4 button.

Fig. 4.1: Wiring the console for studio operation

◊Please make sure that none of the subgroup routing switches (1-2 and 3-4) is pressed in the channels connected to the recorder returns. Otherwise, a feedback loop will be created as soon as you start recording. Only press the MAIN switch on these input channels, so that the tape return signals are routed to the main outs and Phones/CTRL room outputs of the console.
