Connect the inputs of your multitrack recorder to
the Tape Output jacks.
Why are there 24 submaster output jacks on
an 8-submaster mixer? This is called “triple-bus-
sing.” When you send a signal to Submaster 1
output, for instance, it will appear at Submaster
Outputs #1, #9 and #17. Now, whichever tracks
on your multitrack are in RECORD mode will ac-
cept the signal, while the tracks in SAFE mode
won’t. That way, you can feed a 24-track deck
without having to constantly re-patch. Connect
the Submaster/Tape Outputs to the correspond-
ing inputs on your multitrack, using only
Submasters 1 through 8 for an 8-track deck, or
1-16 for a 16-track deck.
Submaster/Tape Output
OPERATING LEVEL
Nominal level for the Submaster jacks is
switched to either +4dBu (switch out) or
–10dBV (switch in) in groups of 4 channels (3).
If you aren’t sure of your multitrack recorder’s
operating input level, check the specifications
section of the recorder’s owner’s manual.
REAR PANEL
CONNECTIONS
The connections to and from your multitrack re-
corder are on the Rear Panel of the 8•Bus Series.
There are 16, 24 or 32 Tape Return jacks (depending
on the model) and 24 Submaster/Tape Out jacks.
Tape Returns
The Tape Return jacks (1) are 1/4" TRS balanced,
with tip wired to high (+), ring to low (–) and sleeve
to ground. These jacks are also wired to accommo-
date 1/4" TS unbalanced connections. Each jack is
connected to the Tape input on the corresponding
channel, and is selected by the FLIP switch on that
channel.
Connect the outputs of your multitrack recorder
to the Tape In jacks. Note that they are grouped in
sets of eight: 1-8, 9-16 and17-24.
