Selection of processors at the master insert of a console
By connecting the Router to a console‘s master insert you can connect up
to eight various processors for easy comparison/selection, eliminating time-
consuming patching and re-patching.
Connect the console‘s master insert sends to the Router‘s STEREO INPUTS,
and the Router‘s STEREO OUTPUTS to the console‘s master insert returns.
Select LINE on the front-panel INPUT switch. The +10 dB switch should be
deactivated and FIXED mode activated so that the Router does not affect
levels. Now the units can be connected to the router for comparison.
Expanded source switching in connection with a console
The Router can easily expand your console‘s source inputs, allowing you to
monitor up to eight additional stereo sources. Simply connect your additional
sources (CD, DAT, TV, Video etc.) to the Router‘s RETURN CHANNELS, and its
STEREO OUTPUTS to your console‘s master input. The Router should be in
FIXED mode. You can also directly monitor your sources via the Router‘s head-
phone outputs.
Speaker selection
The Router can also select and/or compare various speaker systems. Connect
your stereo signal (e.g. console main outs) to the Router‘s STEREO INPUTS
and your amplifiers or active speakers to the SEND CHANNELS. The INPUT
switch should be set to LINE and the +10 dB switch deactivated.
Signal processor comparison/selection
The Router is an excellent tool for comparison and demonstration of various
signal processors (equalizers, compressors, reverb or multieffects units) in a
retail setting. Simply connect a CD player to the STEREO INPUTS, the SEND
connectors to the processors‘ inputs and the processors‘ outputs to the
RETURN CHANNELS. The INPUT switch should be set to LINE and the +10 dB
switch activated if necessary. Depending on the situation, the various proces-
sors can be compared via headphones (PHONES OUTs) or active speakers
(STEREO OUTPUTS). Use the LINE OUT pot to control the volume (FIXED mode
must be deactivated).
Mic preamp comparison/selection
Similarly, the Router can be used for comparison and/or selection of various
preamps. Connect a microphone to the MIC INPUT and set the INPUT switch
accordingly. Connect the left SEND channels to the mic preamps‘ inputs and
their outputs to either side of the Router‘s RETURN channels. Activate the
MONO switch. For accurate comparison, be sure that all preamps are set
to equal levels. If you are using a condenser mic, you will need to activate
phantom power.
NOTE: Switching noises may occur due to phantom power. We recommend
that you reduce the output volume before switching when using condenser
microphones.
