Multi-Track  Recording or Track-Down

The  TOA  RX-7  series  of  mixing  consoles  allows  better
recordings  as  well  as  better  concerts.  For  multi-track
recording,  direct  outputs  on  each  input  channel  can  be

connected  to  multi-channel  recorder  inputs.  There  are
further  optional  connections,  such  as  monitoring  to  a
control  room  or  to  the  performers,  as  well as  a talkback

function. Monitoring to performers can be done via FB1 &
2  Group  1—4,  PGM  Out  and  even  Echo  1  &  2,  with

Accessory  Send  on  each  input  channel  also  available.

Monitoring to the  control room is by Phones  Out L & R,
and  talkback  via  Talkback  Output.

Four-track  or  stereo  recordings  can  be  made  through
Group  Out  or  PGM  Out,  while  monitoring,  talkback

functions  and  signal  processing  equipment  connections
are the same as for multi-track recording. For monitoring

output,  Group  Accessory  Sends  may  be  applied  for
recording out, instead of Group Out. Alternatively, signal

Connection Example II

processing  equipment  connections  can  be  made  via
Group  Accessory  Send/Receive  jacks.  The  PGM  output

can also  serve as a link to a sound reinforcement system,

if required  in  addition  to  the  recording  application.
There  are  4  track-down  applications:  connecting  each
input  channel of the  console to  an output  channel from a
multi-track  recorder,  mixing  down  16  channels  to  4,  to
stereo,  or  to  monaural.  Console  output  is  via  the  Group

Out  and PGM  Out,  while  control  room  monitoring  uses
Phones  Out.  A  wide  variety  of  signal  processing

equipment  and  special  effects  can  be  included,  such  as

harmonizers and flangers. Echo 1 & 2, as well as FB 1 & 2

outputs can be connected to special effects equipment via
Echo In,  Aux In or Sub In. Accessory Send/Receive jacks

can also be used for signal processing equipment. Signal
processing  equipment to  affect  only  one  input  channel is
connected  via  Direct  Out,  Aux  In  and  Sub  In.
