DuTCH audio IM2.1(s) manual

(v1.6 29-06-2021)

Introduction:

Thank you for purchasing the DuTCH audio Insert Machine IM2.1(s). In this manual we will
explain how this device works and how to use it. Since this is not really a beginner’s device,
we will skip the basics and focus on it’s functions. We will go from the inputs (left side), to
the inserts (middle) and to the outputs (right side), basically how the device handles
signals.

The IM2.1 is available in 2 versions, the IM2.1 and the IM2.1s. The only difference is the
output section. More on this can be found in the output section of this manual.

machines (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.

This machine typically runs slightly warm when operated. Install in a normal ventilated
area. If the product will be used in a rack, make certain there is sufficient air

do not place it on top of hot equipment.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
machine has been damaged in any way, such as when the powersupply plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the machine, the machine
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
