"ring" RETURN from processor · Direct out with no signal interruption to mains. Push a MONO plug into a CHANNEL ACCESS jack until you feel it click once. In this configuration the channel access is acting as an independent direct out with no signal interruption to the master. · Direct out with signal interruption to master. Push the plug all the way into the CHANNEL ACCESS jack. The signal will now be interrupted from the master and be available at the direct out only. Use this mode when connecting to the inputs of multi-track recorders. A stereo plug wired as shown in the drawing above turns the CHANNEL ACCESS into a loop that will send and receive to and from an external device using the same channel access jack. Use this mode when connecting to the inputs of multi-track recorders. EXAMPLE 2 You can also create sub-mixes without tying up additional CR-1604 channels. As before, press the MUTE ALT 3/4 buttons on the five drum Channels (1­5). These channels are no longer part of your main mix. Connect the CR-1604's ALT 3/4 Outputs to the LEFT and RIGHT jacks of an AUX return, . In our diagram we've used AUX 1, LEFT. Stereo AUX RETURN 1 now controls the master drum sub-mix level. In either of these two setups, you can instantly solo your sub-mix into your headphones (or monitor speakers if they are connected to the headphone output) by pressing the CR-1604's ALT/PREVIEW button or soloing the submaster channels. CREATING SUB-MIXES USING THE ALT 3/4 OUT Surprise!The CR-1604 really has FOUR buses, not just two!The following are working examples of how to effectively use the flexibility of the ALT 3/4 OUTPUT buses. In the first example, let's imagine that you want to create a separate drum sub-mix. This setup is used to control the level of all of the various channels that make up the drum 16 SUBMIX HOOKUP EXAMPLE 1 SUB-MIX Pan Ch. 16 hard LEFT 0 0 L R L R CHANNELS TO BE SUB-MIXED Pan Ch. 16 hard RIGHT MUTE these channels 0 0 0 0 0 L R L R L R L R L R PAN SOLO MUTE ALT 3/4 PAN SOLO MUTE ALT 3/4 PAN SOLO MUTE ALT 3/4 PAN SOLO MUTE ALT 3/4 PAN SOLO MUTE ALT 3/4 PAN SOLO MUTE ALT 3/4 PAN SOLO MUTE ALT 3/4 15 OL 16 OL OL OL OL OL OL +20 +20 + 20 +20 +20 +20 +20 HOOK UP 16 U 15 U 14 UNBALANCED LINE INPUTS 13 6 5 U 4 U 3 U 2 U 1 U BALANCED OR UNBALANCED LINE INPUTS LOW Z BALANCED MICROPHONE INPUTS AUX / MONITOR OUTPUTS 00 BUSS ALT 3-4 OUT INSERT AUX RETURNS TO M 00 L 1 2 3 5 1 00 4 00 3 00 2 00 1 00 MIC INPUT ADDS 8dB ADDITIONAL GAIN LEFT LEFT R 4 5 6 RIGHT RIGHT ALT 3-4 OUT Microphones are shown but these could also be 1/4" line inputs from drum machines .
