The Klark Teknik Quad Auto Gate is optimised for use at line level, therefore to gate a
microphone, the input to the has to be taken from the console preferably from the channel insert
point send. The output from the comes back to the channel insert return. By connecting the
at this position in the signal chain, its operation is unaffected by the use of any of the console
controls, except Input Gain.
The may, if desired, be connected via an auxiliary send and return, but if the aux send on your
console is post EQ, then operation of the EQ will alter the overall signal level and the Threshold level of the
will probably need adjustment.
Another alternative is connection to the group insert point of the console. This is useful when many inputs are
mixed down to a smaller number of outputs. A given number of gates can achieve a greater coverage.
