DPS24 STRUCTURE
DPS24 STRUCTURE
Internally, the DPS24 is laid out much like any conventional recording studio:
At the heart of this 'typical' studio is a large, multi-channel mixer.
This mixer has 46 channels: 12 mono + 1 stereo inputs, 24 track returns and 4 stereo FX
returns.
The mixer's 8 GROUP outputs are connected to the inputs of the MTR (multi-track recorder)
and inputs are routed to tracks on the MTR via these. The outputs of the MTR are fed back
into the mixer where the tracks can be mixed, EQ'd, etc.. Microphones are connected to bal-
anced mic inputs on the mixer and line sources are patched to the line inputs. The effects
sends are connected to the effects processors and the outputs of these are connected to the
mixer's effects return channels.
The mixer's stereo L/R outputs are connected to a stereo mastering machine. The outputs of
the stereo recorder can be patched through a mastering compressor/expander, before feed-
ing a CD recorder (not shown here).
Monitor outputs feed an amplification system and, as is common in high-end studios, there
are two monitor outputs - one feeds the control room's main monitoring system whilst an-
other feeds a smaller monitoring system (maybe a domestic hi-fi) for checking a mix on smaller
speakers. Also in this typical studio (but not shown here) would be compressors, noise gates
and so forth.
