© TAPE SEND (GROUP OUT/DIRECT OUT)
These connectors should be connected to inputs 1-8 of your multitrack
recorder. If you are using a 16-track recorder or two 8-track recorders, the eight
remaining multitrack inputs should be connected to the adjacent GROUP
OUTs. See page 12 for information about the GROUP OUT connectors.
These TAPE SENDs can be used as group outputs 1-8 or direct outputs for
input modules 9-16 on RM800-16 (17-24 on RM800-24). They are unbal­
anced phone jacks and the nominal output level is -lOdBV. The TAPE SEND
SELECT switches are used to select GROUP or DIRECT.
When a TAPE SEND SELECT switch is set to GROUP, the TAPE SEND is con­
nected in parallel with the corresponding GROUP OUT. So there are, in effect,
two -lOdBV outputs for each group. If you include the +4dB GROUP OUTs,
there are actually three sets of group outputs. The idea is that if you use a
16-track recorder or two 8-track recorders, you can connect to all 16 inputs
simultaneously. For example, TAPE SENDs 1-8 to recorder inputs 1-8 and
GROUP OUTs to recorder inputs 9-16 (or 1-8 on a second 8-track recorder).
Even though tracks 1 and 9,2 and 10,3 and 11, etc., receive the same input sig­
nals, you can determine which track actually records the signal using the
recorder’s track select buttons. You should plan your tracking sheet so that you
don’t run into a situation where you need to record to tracks 1 and 9, tracks 2
and 10, or tracks 5 and 13, etc., at the same time.
When a TAPE SEND SELECT switch is set to DIRECT, the TAPE SEND jack
outputs the post-fader signal from the corresponding input module. This
allows you to record input module signals directly, one module to one track.
Direct recording has two main advantages: 1) since the signal level is controlled
by the input module GAIN control and fader (i.e. the group fader is not used),
level setting is more straightforward. 2) It allows you to send eight additional
signal sources to the multitrack. In combination with the eight GROUP OUTs,
this provides true 16-track simultaneous recording.
