Note:
500ADAT does not feature a dedicated switch to engage the insert point and so to
fully bypass the insert point during recording/mixing you will need to bypass
Inserted effect itself or disconnect the insert point.
Module Direct Outputs
Each 500 series slot features its own Module Direct
Output that is a fully balanced XLR line-level output of
each 500 series module that can be used to connect to
external A/D converters or advanced monitoring
systems. The Module Direct Outputs are positioned PRE
the Mix Level controls for each 500 series slot and mirror
what is sent into the ADAT interface.
You can also use the Module Direct Outputs to send
audio from one slot to another by simply using an XLR
cable.
Note:
For advanced patching combinations, you can
connect the module inputs and outputs of
500ADAT to a patchbay to allow convenient
re-ordering of modules as well as advanced
channel strip creation without accessing the
rear panel.
Slot Bypass Switch
The Slot Bypass switch is located on the backplane
connector by each 500 series slot and can be used to
bypass the slot if no 500 series modules are inserted.
Bypassing the slot allows you to connect line-level
sources such as external mic preamps and effects units
directly into the rear panel inputs of 500ADAT and
record those signals directly into the DAW via it’s ADAT
connections.
The Slot Bypass switch is available per-slot which allows
you to occupy some of 500ADAT’s 500 series slots with
modules whilst using the others to record line-level
sources.
The Module Source, Insert, Module Direct Output, and
Summing Mixer features function as normal for each slot that has the Slot Bypass switch
active.
