CONNECTING THE C Com 16
There are several ways to interface the C Com 16 to support a variety of applications. The C Com 16 features servo-bal-
anced inputs and outputs, so connecting balanced and unbalanced signals is possible without any signal loss. The
C Com 16 can be used on a single instrument by connecting to a channels insert points, or on an entire mix "in-line"
between a mixer’s outputs and a power amp or equalizer.
INSERT POINTS
Many mixers today provide channel and bus or group inserts. Insert points are input and output patch points that inter-
rupt the channel or bus signal so that external processors can be connected. Channel insert points are ideal for con-
necting to when using the C Com 16 to process a single channel like a vocal, bass or guitar. Bus insert points are ideal
for compressing groups of instruments like vocals, strings or drums. If you are connecting to a channel’s insert points,
you may have a single TRS jack for Send & Return. In this case, use an Insert Cable that is configured like the one in the
wiring diagram below.
