ONYX 80 SERIES

Here are three ways you use the INSERT jacks:

MONO PLUG

Channel Insert jack

Direct out with no signal interruption to master.

Insert only to first “click.”

MONO PLUG

Channel Insert jack

Direct out with signal interruption to master.Insert all the way in to the second “click.”

STEREO

PLUG

Channel Insert jack

For use as an effects loop.(TIP= SEND to effect, RING = RETURN from effect)

71. STEREO AUX INPUTS 1-8

These 1/4" TRS input connectors accept balanced or unbalanced line-level stereo signals from an external processor or other line-level device. The stereo AUX INPUTS use a technique called jack normalling. If a signal is plugged into the LEFT (MONO) side and nothing is plugged into the RIGHT side, the signal is automatically connected to both LEFT and RIGHT sides. As soon as something is plugged into the RIGHT side, the normalled connection is broken and the LEFT and RIGHT inputs become stereo inputs (LEFT goes to the LEFT MAIN OUT and RIGHT goes to the RIGHT MAIN OUT).

72. AUX SENDS 1-8

These 1/4" TRS output connectors provide balanced or unbalanced line-level signals for connecting to the inputs of effects devices or stage monitor amplifiers.

73. AUX SEND INSERTS

70. DIRECT OUTS

Each of these DB-25 connectors provides balanced direct outputs for eight channels. They are designed to be connected directly to a recorder’s analog inputs, and use the TASCAM standard pinout for analog signal connections (the same standard used on the analog cards for the Mackie D8B and Hard Disk Recorder).

The signal at the DIRECT OUTS comes after the input GAIN control, Polarity switch, Low-Cut switch, and INSERT jack, but before the EQ. This way you can EQ a channel and adjust the channel fader to suit your live mix, but it has no effect on the signal going to the recorder. This provides maximum flexibility for the mixdown stage.

Internal jumpers are provided to change the DIRECT OUTS to post-EQ on a channel-by-channel basis, if desired. This requires some soldering skills, so contact Tech Support for information on how to access the pre/post-EQ jumpers for the DIRECT OUTS.

See Appendix B for a wiring diagram of the DIRECT OUT connectors.

These 1/4" TRS jacks are for connecting serial effects such as compressors, equalizers, deessers, or filters. The insert point is after the mix amps, but before the Aux Send Masters (and before the GROUP/AUX FLIP switch, so the insert point only affects the Aux Send signal). Refer to the description of the channel insert on page 21 to see how to make this connection.

74. GROUP SENDS 1-8

These 1/4" TRS output connectors provide balanced or unbalanced line-level signals for connecting to the inputs of any line-level device.

75. GROUP SEND INSERTS

These 1/4" TRS jacks are for connecting serial effects such as compressors, equalizers, deessers, or filters. The insert point is after the mix amps, but before the Group Send Masters (and before the GROUP/AUX FLIP switch, so the insert point only affects the Group Send signal).

Refer to the description of the channel insert on page 21 to see how to make this connection.
