with the Wave/4"? When we designed the Wave/4 card, we concluded
that having a built-in mixer would make it more complicated to use the
card in conjunction with an external mixer. Also, when extra mixer
circuitry is included in a sound card, an extra level of amplification is
required. This might diminish audio quality and add noise. So the
Wave/4 design follows the same model set by the popular CardD+ PC
audio card (a very high quality card). We decided to avoid needless
complexity and preserve the highest audio quality.
Connecting the Wave/4 to a mixer
Below are some block diagrams for connecting the Wave/4 card to a
mixer. The Wave/4 card can be used with a wide variety of mixers that
are available from many different manufacturers. If you are consider-
ing the purchase of a mixer for your recording setup, you can buy a
small line-level mixer; we've seen them as low as US $150. A more
flexible option would be a small console with prices that start at
around US $300.
If your mixer has channel inserts (also called patch points), for quietest
operation, we recommend that you directly patch the Wave/4 inputs to
the channels at the inserts points.
flexibility and allow you to monitor all the Wave/4 inputs and outputs
as you're recording.

If your mixer does not have channel inserts, you can achieve similar
flexibility by splitting the input signal prior to the mixer with Y-
adapters. Since the Wave/4 requires a line level signal, you will need
to make sure that any low-level signals, such as microphones, are
preamplified prior to the signal split.
