INSERTS AND DIRECT OUTS FULL INSERT The insert jack is a Tip Ring Sleeve (TRS) 1/4" phone jack, where the tip is the send, the ring is the return and the sleeve is ground. When used as an insert point or in full insert mode, the channel is opened up to allow an external piece of equipment to be inserted into the channels signal path. The channel signal coming from the microphone preamplifier will be forced to go through the external equipment before it can continue back through the channel re-entering before the channel tone controls. Most external equipment is not set up for the TRS plug directly so an adapter cable is required. The adapter cable will have on one end the TRS plug and two mono plugs either male or female, on the other end. The two plugs each have the ground connected to the sleeve, one has the return on its tip and the other has the send on its tip. This allows the send to be connected to the input of the external equipment and the return to its output completing the insert loop back to the channel. HALF INSERT DIRECT OUT The half insert connection creates a send sig nal without breaking the channels signal path. The insert in this mode is no longer used as an insert but it becomes what is called an "insert direct out". An insert direct out functions as a normal direct out but the plug has to be half inserted. If an insert is needed on the same channel, special cabling is required to perform both functions. The half insertion connects the tip of the plug being inserted to the ring of the jack. See the fig. If the jack is fully inserted to where the tip of the plug connects to the tip of the jack, the internal jack switch will open and the channel's signal path will be broken. The connection will still function as a direct out but the channel's signal will stop at the insert and not continue on to the rest of the channel and the masters. The result of the half insert is multiple outputs for use in multi-track recording.

This set up could be used with a live set up to record a live show. Also shown in this illustration, is the connection of a 2 track tape recorder connected to the RCA tape outs. One of the great features of the C2440 is the Tape Out Source switch. By assigning AUX 3-4 to the Tape Out Source, the operator can create an alternate mix for 2 track recording and maintain an unaltered main mix. If a 4 track recorder is used, assign the channels to the 4 group faders and use the group outputs for a 4 track recorder. For an 8 track recorder, parallel the 4 groups using group 1 for tracks 1 and 5, group 2 for 2 and 6, etc. Then use the 8 track recorder's track enable switches to select the track. Also both methods can be combined using the groups and Direct Outs for multitracking. 1 MULTI-TRACK RECORDER 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Multitrack IN MULTI-TRACK RECORDER AUX SENDS 1 3 2 4 GROUPS 5 1 3 6 2 4 LEFT

HALF INSERT DIRECT OUT
The half insert connection creates a send sig-
nal without breaking the channels signal path.
The insert in this mode is no longer used as
an insert but it becomes what is called an
“insert direct out”.
An insert direct out func-
tions as a normal direct out but the plug has
to be half inserted.
If an insert is needed on
the same channel,
special cabling is required
to perform both functions.
The half insertion
connects the tip of the plug being inserted to
the ring of the jack.
See the fig.
If the jack is
fully inserted to where the tip of the plug con-
nects to the tip of the jack, the internal jack
switch will open and the channel’s signal path
will be broken.
The connection will still func-
tion as a direct out but the channel’s signal
will stop at the insert and not continue on to
the rest of the channel and the masters.
The
result of the half insert is multiple outputs for
use in multi-track recording.
FULL INSERT
The insert jack is a Tip Ring Sleeve (TRS) 1/4”
phone jack, where the tip is the send, the ring is
the return and the sleeve is ground.
When used
as an insert point or in full insert mode, the
channel is opened up to allow an external piece
of equipment to be inserted into the channels
signal path.
The channel signal coming from
the microphone preamplifier will be forced to
go through the external equipment before it can
continue back through the channel re-entering
before the channel tone controls.
Most external
equipment is not set up for the TRS plug direct-
ly so an adapter cable is required.
The adapter
cable will have on one end the TRS plug and
two mono plugs either male or female, on the
other end.
The two plugs each have the ground
connected to the sleeve, one has the return on
its tip and the other has the send on its tip.
This
allows the send to be connected to the input of
the external equipment and the return to its out-
put completing the insert loop back to the chan-
nel.

MULTI-TRACK RECORDER
Multitrack IN
1/2 INSERT DIRECT OUT
TWO-TRACK
TAPE RECORDER
TAPE OUT
A multi-track recorder can be connected to the Channel Direct
Out jacks.
This set up could be used with a live set up to record
a live show.
Also shown in this illustration, is the connection of
a 2 track tape recorder connected to the RCA tape outs.
One of
the great features of the C2440 is the Tape Out Source switch.
By assigning AUX 3-4 to the Tape Out Source, the operator can
create an alternate mix for 2 track recording and maintain an
unaltered main mix.
If a 4 track recorder is used, assign the channels to the 4 group
faders and use the group outputs for a 4 track recorder.
For an
8 track recorder, parallel the 4 groups using group 1 for tracks 1
and 5, group 2 for 2 and 6, etc.
Then use the 8 track recorder’s
track enable switches to select the track.
Also both methods
can be combined
using the groups and Direct Outs for multi-
tracking.
