APPLICATION 4  -  HOME RECORDING / BROADCAST

In this example the desk is used to provide a final mix for stereo recording (or FM radio broadcast), mono recording

(or AM radio broadcast) or laying tracks on a multitrack recorder by tapping off the channel insert points.  A separate

back-up recording can be made using the Record Out sockets.  Effects units may be connected via Aux 2-4 (switched to

post-fade) and returned to the mix via the Stereo Returns or Effects Returns.  Foldback can be provided from Aux 1 if
required.
