along the channel, fed through the dynamics processor and/or EQ, then returned to the console at the same
point where it left. The insert point is normalized, i.e. the signal is only interrupted when a jack is plugged into
it (see chapter 4.3 Patchfield).
2.3.1 Main input channels
All main input channels are equipped with insert points (stereo phone jack
on the rear). They are config-
ured pre-fader, pre-EQ and pre-Aux Send.
You can extend the functionality of your insert points by wiring them onto a patchfield, where send and return
can be accessed on separate sockets (see chapter 4.3).
Additionally, insert points can be used to automate the console functions. Our CYBERMIX CM8000
automation tool is ideally suited for this purpose and can be easily retrofitted via the insert points of your
MX3242X.
2.3.2 Subgroups
If you want to insert a dynamics processor, etc. into any Subgroup, you can use the Subgroup insert points
located on the interface panel.
2.3.3 Main mix
The MX3242X features two insert points
for the Main Mix bus.
2.3.4 Direct output on each Main input channel
Fig. 2.10: Using the direct outputs for multi-track recording
The MX3242X has four Subgroups which can be used to feed a multi-track recorder. However, it is often
necessary to record more than 4 tracks at the same time. For this reason, your EURORACK MX3242X has a
post-fader
direct output
for each Main input channel, which allows you to record up to 16 tracks
simultaneously.
If that isnt enough, you can also use the various routing options for the Aux Returns to connect line-level
signal sources. The signals are routed from there to the Subgroups and ultimately to the multi-track recorder.
Of course, you can also create a direct link by fitting a cable with a special ¼" mono phone plug
(tip = ground; sleeve = signal) to feed the signals directly via the inserts to the Subgroups. In this configuration,
you can record a maximum of 20 individual signals at the same time ... with a 12 rack units console!
