SUB 1-4 FADERS These faders control the levels of the signals sent to the sub outs. All channels that are assigned to subgroups, not muted, and not turned fully down will appear at the sub outs. Unlike the main out, the subgroup signals do not pass through an insert jack on the way to the subgroup faders, although effects may be acquired easily enough. Simply patch from the sub outs to the effect's input, and from the effect's output to whatever the final destination may be, typically back in on one (or more) channel's input jacks. The subgroup signal is off when the fader is fully down, the "U" marking is unity gain, and fully up provides 10 dB additional gain. Remember that if you are treating two subgroups as a stereo pair, subgroup 1 and 2 for example, make sure that both subgroup faders "ride" together to maintain the left/right balance. The signal at the recording outs comes just after the input gain control, and before the low-cut switch, insert jacks, and EQ. This way you can EQ a channel, connect a compressor or other dynamics processor to the insert jack, and adjust the channel fader to suit your live mix, but it has no effect on the signal going to the recorder. This provides maximum flexibility for the mixdown stage. The recording outputs may also be used in lieu of a splitter. Picture this: all of the microphones, instruments, DI's, etc - any input connected to an Onyx 1640i as a monitor mixer - may then be sent out from the recording outputs 1-16 directly to the line inputs of yet another Onyx 1640i used as the front of house mixer. SUBS 1-4 TO FW 5-8 Engage this button (located just below the sub 2 and sub 3 fader) and the sub groups can be sent to FireWire sends 5-8, taking the place of channel direct outputs 5-8. This allows the user to combine different channels on to subgroups and record material to separate tracks on a DAW. This is particularly useful if FireWire sends 9-14 can not be used because the aux masters have taken over. 1/4" TRS Main Outputs Tape Out 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE LINE BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE HI-Z BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE HI-Z BAL/UNBAL ONYX MIC PRE XLR Main Outputs TALKBACK MIC +48v BALANCED R L MAIN OUT BAL /UNBAL L MONO MAIN INSERT (TIP=SEND RING=RTN) L TAPE IN OUT L CTRL-RM OUT BAL /UNBAL L MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL +4dB MIC POWER ON R R R R +6 OO FIREWIRE SUB OUT BAL/UNBAL 3 1 4 2 AUX RETURN BAL/UNBAL 4 3 2 1 AUX SEND BAL/UNBAL 5 3 1 L L L L (MONO) (MONO) (MONO) (MONO) 6 4 2 R R R R 9-16 RECORDING OUTS POST GAIN PRE INSERT BALANCED 1- 8 Main Output Level +4dB/Mic Recording Outputs ASSIGN TO FW 15-16 Engage this button (just above the main mix fader) ALTERNATE FIREWIRE ASSIGNMENTS 1 2 3 4 LINE FW 1 LINE FW 2 LINE FW 3 LINE FW 4 48V 48V 48V 48V 1 5 LINE FW 5 48V SUBGROUPS 2 6 LINE FW 6 48V 3 7 LINE FW 7 48V 4 8 LINE FW 8 48V 1 9 LINE FW 9 48V AUX MASTERS MAIN MIX 2 10 LINE FW 10 48V 3 11 LINE FW 11 48V 4 12 LINE FW 12 48V 5 13 LINE FW 13 48V 6 14 LINE FW 14 48V L 15 LINE FW 15 48V R 16 LINE FW 16 48V 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT 75Hz 18dB/OCT GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN GAIN 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 20 40 PREMIUM ANALOG MIXER w/ PERKINS EQ & FIREWIRE LAMP 12V 0.5A and the main mix can be sent to your computer via FireWire. The FireWire output is not affected by the main mix fader, allowing you to record the main mix of live performances. The left main mix will appear Assign to FW 15-16 on FireWire output signal 15, and the right on signal 16. (When this button is engaged, mixer channels 15-16 are not available to send via FireWire.) Sub Assign L MAIN MIX Switches R In addition to recording the main mix using FireWire, SUB1 you can record individual mixer channels 1-14 using FireWire (for a total of 16 streams available) for studio mixing at a later date.
