Here are three ways you use the INSERT jacks:
Direct out with no signal interruption to master.
Insert only to first “click.”
Channel Insert jack
Channel Insert jack
Channel Insert jack
Direct out with signal interruption to master.
Insert all the way in to the second “click.”
For use as an effects loop.

70. DIRECT OUTS
Each of these DB-25 connectors provides balanced
direct outputs for eight channels. They are designed to
be connected directly to a recorder’s analog inputs, and
use the TASCAM standard pinout for analog signal con-
nections (the same standard used on the analog cards
for the Mackie D8B and Hard Disk Recorder).
The signal at the DIRECT OUTS comes after the
input GAIN control, Polarity switch, Low-Cut switch,
and INSERT jack, but before the EQ. This way you can
EQ a channel 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 fl exibility for the
mixdown stage.
Internal jumpers are provided to change the DIRECT
OUTS to post-EQ on a channel-by-channel basis, if
desired. This requires some soldering skills, so contact
Tech Support for information on how to access the
pre/post-EQ jumpers for the DIRECT OUTS.
See Appendix B for a wiring diagram of the DIRECT OUT
connectors.
71. STEREO AUX INPUTS 1-8
These 1/4" TRS input connectors accept balanced or
unbalanced line-level stereo signals from an external
processor or other line-level device. The stereo AUX IN-
PUTS use a technique called jack normalling. If a signal
is plugged into the LEFT (MONO) side and nothing is
plugged into the RIGHT side, the signal is automatically
connected to both LEFT and RIGHT sides.
As soon as
something is plugged into the RIGHT side, the normalled
connection is broken and the LEFT and RIGHT inputs
become stereo inputs (LEFT goes to the LEFT MAIN OUT
and RIGHT goes to the RIGHT MAIN OUT).
72. AUX SENDS 1-8
These 1/4
"
TRS output connectors provide balanced
or unbalanced line-level signals for connecting to the
inputs of effects devices or stage monitor amplifi ers.
73. AUX SEND INSERTS
These 1/4
"
TRS jacks are for connecting serial effects
such as compressors, equalizers, deessers, or fi lters. The
insert point is after the mix amps, but before the Aux
Send Masters (and before the GROUP/AUX FLIP switch,
so the insert point only affects the Aux Send signal).
Refer to the description of the channel insert
on page 21
to see how to make this connection.
74. GROUP SENDS 1-8
These 1/4
"
TRS output connectors provide balanced
or unbalanced line-level signals for connecting to the
inputs of any line-level device.
75. GROUP SEND INSERTS
These 1/4
"
TRS jacks are for connecting serial effects
such as compressors, equalizers, deessers, or fi lters. The
insert point is after the mix amps, but before the Group
Send Masters (and before the GROUP/AUX FLIP switch,
so the insert point only affects the Group Send signal).

on page 21
