API Audio The Channel Strip - Manual (Page 29)

7.2 Audio Path Outputs
The Channel Strip provides multiple audio outputs at various points in the audio path. All ¼” outputs are
non-switching jacks so inserting a plug will not break the connection with the input it feeds.
CHANNEL OUT: Line level output from the 325 Line-Driver
• Main TCS output
• Male XLR
• +4 dBu
• Balanced, low-impedance output
SECOND EFFECT OUT: Line level output from the second signal processor in
audio path
• Feeds the input to the 325 Line-Driver
• ¼” tip, ring, sleeve jack
• +4 dBu
• Balanced, low-impedance output
FIRST EFFECT OUT: Line level output from the first signal processor in audio
path
• Feeds the SECOND EFFECT IN
• ¼” tip, ring, sleeve jack
• +4 dBu
• Balanced, low-impedance output
PRE OUT (Preamplifier Output): Line level output from the 512C Preamp
• Feeds the FIRST EFFECT IN
• ¼” tip, ring, sleeve jack
• +4dBu
• Balanced, low-impedance output
7.3 Rear Panel Half-Normals
There are three “half-normalled” connections on the rear panel. Switching jacks are used on the FIRST
EFFECT IN and SECOND EFFECT IN, so the signal fed from the normal will be broken when a plug is
inserted.
PRE OUT to FIRST EFFECT IN: (Normally 512C output to 527 input)
• PRE OUT is a splitting jack and the signal will not be broken
when a plug is inserted
• FIRST EFFECT IN is a switching jack and feed from PRE OUT will
be broken when a plug is inserted
FIRST EFFECT OUT to SECOND EFFECT IN: (Normally 527 output to
550A Equalizer input)
• FIRST EFFECT OUT is a splitting jack and the signal will not be
broken when a plug is inserted
• SECOND EFFECT IN is a switching jack and feed from FIRST
EFFECT OUT will be broken when a plug is inserted
SECOND EFFECT OUT to 325 Line-Driver In: (Normally 550A Equalizer output to
325 input)
• SECOND EFFECT OUT is a splitting jack and the signal will not be broken
when a plug is inserted
• INSERT RETURN will replace the input to the 325 Line-Driver when the
INSERT switch is engaged
