Automix 4 User Manual

Each Channel of the Automix 4 has an insert connection that has several uses for connecting external components. The follow-

ing examples and connection diagrams illustrate the most common method of using this powerful feature. For proper automat-

ic mixing, the signal gain of the external component MUST be 0 db (unity). NOTE: These connections are unbalanced. Care

should be taken when considering the distance, type of wire and type of external connection.

In this example, the link switch is in it’s normal BYPASS mode. The INS OUT connector provides a “tap” of the Channel’s

automatically processed output signal just before the summing bus. When configuring the Automix 4 with direct outputs, the

master balanced output and the master line output are still active.

This example shows a “loop” to an external

device, such as an equalizer or compressor.

The INS OUT connection is made after the

Channel’s automatic gain stage, and just

before the summing stage. To enable this

feature, the INS BYPASS/ENABLE switch

must be in the ENABLE mode.

You can also use this feature to provide

four direct outputs, one for each Channel.

In this example, the INS BYPASS/ENABLE

switch should be in BYPASS mode.
