While you can patch the source into a processing module before the input of the 5060 on channels 
1-24, we recommend also normalling the insert send and return together on another row of the patchbay 
for channels 1-8, as to avoid cutting off the signal when the insert is engaged with nothing patched in.   
For using the faders as mono center channels, the signal will be sourced from the left input (i.e. 1,3,5,7).
