EFFECTS LOOP
This application uses the Studio Quad V2 in an effects loop of a mixing console. In this application, the source is
routed directly to the mixer channel input(s). From there, the Studio Quad V2 gets its source audio from the con-
sole's auxiliary send, and mix levels are controlled directly from the console. Figure 1-4 shows a common recording
studio or live sound reinforcement setup for effects processing with a console.
Figure 1-4 Effects Loop Configuration
Figure 1-5 shows an example of a typical stereo effect setup as seen from the console, and shows how to handle
both true stereo and mono input signals using two auxiliary sends.
This is the method of choice in many recording applications because of the impressive realism and depth of texture
that it produces. While it is slightly more complicated to set up and requires twice as many auxiliary sends, stereo
effects (particularly reverbs) improve dramatically in imaging and spaciousness.
