Alesis studio24 Manual De Usuario

: at the upper right-hand corner of the top panel of the Studio 24 you’ll

find most of the connectors that provide the outputs of the console: two 1/4” MAIN
OUTs (plus two MAIN INSERT jacks), and two 1/4" GROUP OUT connectors (plus
two GROUP INSERT jacks). See the next chapter “Effects and Signal Processing” for
information about the AUX SENDS.

: the CONTROL ROOM OUT jacks are to the right of the power connector

on the back panel. Just to the right of these outputs are the 1/4” jacks for MONITOR
1/2 outputs. In addition to the balanced 1/4” MAIN OUT jacks on the front panel,
there are two unbalanced RCA MAIN OUTs on the back panel.

The  left and right MAIN OUTs are two balanced TRS 1/4" jacks which provide the
primary stereo mix of the Studio 24. These are normally connected to the inputs of a
mixdown tape machine or a PA system amplifier. The two MAIN OUTS connectors
on the back panel function in the same way, including the INSERT capability of the
front panel jacks, but at the lower level of -10dBV for connection to unbalanced
equipment.

These are two TRS 1/4" jacks, each of which consists of an insert send (the tip of the
TRS plug) and an insert return (the ring of a TRS plug). One is for the left channel
and one is for the right channel of the stereo mix. They are used to insert a outboard
stereo effects device (such as a compressor, limiter, reverb or EQ) directly into the
main signal path, before the fader. A special Y-cable (stereo 1/4" plug to two mono
1/4" plugs, as shown on page 44) is required.

The GROUP OUTPUTS are balanced 1/4" connectors which may be connected to the
inputs of a multitrack tape machine. To send a mix of several channels to a single
track, you may use a Group Output. (The DIRECT OUT jacks on the Studio 24’s back
panel normally send one source to one track. But you can route the Group Outputs to
any Direct Out pairs using the DIRECT OUT SOURCE switches. See page 54 and 55
for details.)

 In certain applications, such as video post-

production, a pair of Group Outputs may be used to provide a different mix than the
Main Outputs, such as a mix containing music and effects but minus the dialog.
Group Outs may also be used as a feed to an effect device, a separate section of a PA
system, or for a surround sound encoder.

Alesis ADAT recorders have normalling input

features, which allow you to record on any track without repatching, even when the
mixer output is connected only to tracks 1 and 2. There’s more about this later in this
manual, and in the ADAT manual as well.
