boost or cut the side channel more then 3dB, so I thought it was better to have a more

precise and recallable range, then going for a wide but less precise range.

Mid / Side mute:

The mid and side mute buttons will let you mute mid or side so that you can listen to just

the sum or the diff.

Other MS functions:

When you don't use the insert switches 5 or 6, you can still make use of the mid/side

functionality. When the stereo/MS switch is set to MS, it passes through the mid/side

circuit. What you can do for instance, is making the side channel a bit more wide or narrow

by changing the gain on the side channel with the width knob. You can also listen to just

the mid or side channel by muting the corresponding channel.

Insert 7 and 8:

Insert 7 and 8 are the same as insert 1 and 2, so 100% passive.

Outputs:

Rearpanel:

On the rearpanel you will find 2 outputs with balanced Neutrik XLR's.

Output switches:

On the frontpanel you can choose between the 2 outputs by pushing the corresponding

switch. It's also possible to use both outputs at the same time, but keep in mind that this

could cause some impedance and so level changes.

Ins Bypass:

When you engage the 'Ins bypass button' all inserts will be bypassed at once. You will see

that all lights on the insert switches from 1/8 will go out, giving you extra visual feedback.

Out 1:

Out 1 is a passive output selector with just relays, so no active circuit. So basically, it's

passing the signal from the inserts straight into the output. But when you push the 'out 1

bypass button', it will bypass all inserts and the active gain stage 'out 1 monitor trim'

comes active. The monitor trim will allow you to change the bypass gain to make up for the

processing of the inserts. This way you can A/B between the analog processing and level-

matched bypassed signal. The gain range is set from -1dB till + 12dB done with a potmeter

instead of a stepped switch for a more precise adjustment. And since this is just an AB

function no recall is needed. Internally the gain range of the monitor trim can be calibrated

with 2 multiturn trimmers.

Out 2:

Out 2 is a passive output selector with relays and no active stages.

Technical:

Hardware:

This device is built around mostly passive circuits, but some parts need to be active, but

always with transparency in mind. The sturdy frontpanel-switches have, depending on their

function, 2 color leds for visual feedback. All relays are high sensitive, long-life (15.000.000

cycles) Omron Relays. Stepped switches are high quality Blore Edwards for long life and

really nice mechanical feel. In and output connectors are gold plated Neutrik and industrial

DB25 connectors for inserts. Active sections make use of SSM214x and Burr Brown drivers,

Mid/Side section makes use of THAT drivers, known for their clean and transparent sound.
