Bucket
The Options Bucket is located on the right-hand side of the Center Section. It has 42 slots for API 200

echo returns.
The Options Bucket can be fitted with the following modules:
•
205L Direct Input
•
212L Microphone Preamplifier
•
215L Sweep Filter

Any combination of these modules may be installed.
When the Options Bucket is equipped with preamp modules (205L and/or 212L), the Upper 200 Slots in
the channels are available for addition signal processing modules and may be fitted with such. If the
channel Upper 200 Slots are equipped with preamps, the entire Options Bucket is available for signal
processors and echo returns.
NOTE: 500 Series modules do not fit in the Options Bucket.
9.1 E1068L Stereo Surround Echo Return Module
The E1068L Stereo Surround Return module is a fully featured echo return with surround panning
capabilities. It offers a powerful suite of controls that provides the flexibility to handle a wide
range of applications.
As many as twenty-one (21) E1068L Echo Return modules can be installed in the Options Bucket.
NOTE: The E1068L Stereo/Surround Return is two (2) units wide. Each one occupies two (2)
200 Slots in the Options Bucket and can not be fitted in a channel.
Effects devices (or other sources) are patched to the E1068L input patch points (E1068L
SURROUND RETURN).
The outputs of each E1068L feed the FX Return Surround ACAs, where the signals are summed
and sent to the FX RETURN ACA OUTPUT patch points. The outputs of the FX Return Surround
ACAs feed the FX RETURN SUR ACA OUT patch points only and do not directly feed the Program
busses.
To feed the output of the E1068L Echo Returns to the program busses, patch the FX RETURN ACA
OUTPUT patch points to the STEREO SUM BUS ACCESS IN or SURROUND SUM BUS ACCESS
INPUT patch points.
