Speck Electronics ASC - Manual (Page 14)

When connecting to an audio mixer, you may choose to connect the
ASC to the insert points of the input channel. A mixer’s insert point
(access point) exist exclusively for the access of devices such as the
Model ASC, limiters, compressors, gates, etc. These aforementioned
devices are regarded as “processing” equipment and are normally
connected (inserted) into a single channel. Processing equipment differs
from “effects” devices in that effects such as reverb and delay are
connected into the send/return jacks and may be accessed from all
channels via the effects (aux) send controls and blended to the main
groups with the effects (aux) returns controls.
Some larger recording consoles that lack a patchbay may use two jacks
for the channel's insert points; one jack for insert output, and another for
the insert input. Although, many mixers have a stereo (TRS) jack for
the insert points. For these mixers it will be necessary to utilize a
special "Y" cable with a stereo plug at one end and two mono plugs at
the other ends. (See figure 3)
When patch points are not available, such is the case with many smaller
mixers, the source signal (recorder or sampler) may be connected
directly to the inputs of the Model ASC. The outputs of the Model ASC
would then be connected to the line inputs of the mixer.
