Section 1 - Setting Up
Studio Quad Owner's Manual
REMEMBER:
When you use this method to process stereo
sources such as keyboards, the auxiliary sends on your console
should be set up exactly opposite one another, as shown on
channels 1 and 2 of Figure 1-5. Note that the left channel is sent
to Aux 1, while the right channel is sent to Aux 2. When using
mono sources like vocals and bass guitar, send equal levels from
both Aux 1 and Aux 2 to maintain proper soundfield balance of
the effects, as shown on channels 5 and 8.
PARALLEL EFFECTS:
Another application for the Studio Quad
allows you to independently process four discrete signals simultane-
ously. This method also utilizes the effects loops of your console, and
since each effect has a mono input, the auxiliary sends can be set up
in a much more straightforward way. Figure 1-6 shows how to connect
the Studio Quad for this application.
Figure 1-6 Quad Mono Input / Dual Stereo Output Configuration
Using this method, you could use channel 1 for a long vocal reverb,
channel 2 for a short gated snare drum reverb, channel 3 for lead gui-
tar delay, and channel 4 to thicken keyboard instruments with a
detuner. This method also offers the flexibility of running different
channels in-line or in an effects loop.
REMEMBER:
Outputs can be configured any way you like, so
don't let any of this input / output stuff scare you.
A WORD ABOUT BYPASS
Because of its flexibility, the Studio Quad can be connected in several
different ways to meet the requirements of many specific applications.
However, the definition of Bypass may change in these different appli-
cations. The Studio Quad features Application Specific Bypassing so
that the Studio Quad functions appropriately in nearly every applica-
tions. When Bypassed, the Studio Quad simply switches the Effects in
that Program OFF, but the Dry Levels defined in that Program remain
untouched. If the effects are all wet (no Dry Level), the Bypass func-
tion effectively Mutes the Studio Quad. If the Dry Level is up, then the
Studio Quad passes the original signals through without processing.
Remember that the lines through the modules in the Effect
Configuration Matrix indicate that the modules are Bypassed.
