2.4 Analog Outputs & Inserts
Headphone
8
You can monitor the playback signal from output 1, 2 through the headphone
output. The output level can be adjusted with the pot.
Inserts
14
The inserts allow you to use the microphone preamps of EX8000 for incoming signals, then run
the signal through external hardware effects before the AD-converter processes the signal. In
order to use the inserts, you typically need a so-called "insert-cable"
with a 1/4" TRS connector on one and two 1/4" mono connectors on
the two other ends. Here is a description of the insert connector:
- Tip: return signal (input from effect processor)
- Ring: send (output to effect processor)
- Sleeve: common ground
