PROCESSING
INSERTS
Inserts provide a quick way to insert signal processing equipment into the system. Input channels, groups, auxes,
mains and the console monitor output all have an insert.
Each insert has a send and a return, providing a convenient break in the signal chain. Sends and returns all appear in the
I/O patching screen where they can be patched to I/O box ports for connection to external devices.
Path Inserts
Path inserts are associated with the attached path. If, for example, an input channel is attached to fader three and its
paths insert is patched to an I/O box, if input channel on fader three is moved to a different fader, such as fader 10 for
example, the insert patching will move along with it to appear on fader 10’s insert send and return displays.
Patching Inserts
From the Brio 36 surface, insert sends should be connected to outboard inputs and Insert returns should be connected to
outboard outputs. Outboard devices should have their inputs connected to I/O box output ports and their outputs con-
nected to I/O box input ports, as shown in Figure 1.

INSERT
In/Out
Each insert has its own activation in/out button which, for faders, groups and mains can be found in the insert & width
processing tab. The console monitor insert in/out button is accessible from the settings tab within the console monitor
pop-up, as shown in Figure 2.
In/out buttons are useful for quickly comparing processed and unprocessed signals.
Note: Brio 36 has 2 Inserts available per path.
