Multi-Track Recording or Track-Down
The TOA RX-7 series of mixing consoles allows better
recordings as well as better concerts. For multi-track
recording, direct outputs on each input channel can be
connected to multi-channel recorder inputs. There are
further optional connections, such as monitoring to a
control room or to the performers, as well as a talkback
function. Monitoring to performers can be done via FB1 &
2 Group 1—4, PGM Out an d even Echo 1 & 2, w ith
Accessory Send on each input channel also available.
Monitoring to the control room is by Phones Out L & R,
and talkback via Talkback Output.
Four-track or stereo recordings can be made through
Group Out or PGM Out, while monitoring, talkback
functions and signal processing equipment connections
are the same as for multi-track recording. For monitoring
output, Group Accessory Sends may be applied for
recording out, instead of Group Out. Alternatively, signal
Connection Example IIprocessing equipment connections can be made via
Group Accessory Send/Receive jacks. The PGM output
can also serve as a link to a sound reinforcement system,
if required in addition to the recording application.
There are 4 track-down applications: connecting each
input channel of the console to an output channel fr om a
multi-track recorder, mixing down 16 channels to 4, to
stereo, or to monaural. Console output is via the Group
Out and PGM Out, while control room monitoring uses
Phones Out. A wide variety of signal processing
equipment and special effects can be included, such as
harmonizers and flangers. Echo 1 & 2, as well as FB 1 & 2
outputs can be connected to special effects equipment via
Echo In, Aux In or Sub In. Accessory Send/Receive jacks
can also be used for signal processing equipment. Signal
processing equipment to affect only one input channel is
connected via Direct Out, Aux In and Sub In.
