Using Inserts

In addition to using Auxiliary Sends and Returns to access outboard devices, the TM500

also provides channel inserts for each of its eight monophonic channels. These should

be used when you want to affect just one input signal, as opposed to signal from several

inputs—most often, this will be for dynamic processing purposes (such as outboard

equalization, compression/limiting, or noise gating). You can also use the channel insert

sends as post-eq (but pre-fader)

direct outputs, if you need to route a single monophonic

signal to an external device such as a tape deck.

The TM500 also provides two sets of main inserts—one “pre” graphic equalizer and

stereo fader, and the other “post” graphic equalizer and stereo fader. These allow you

to process the entire mix simultaneously (for example, “strapping” a stereo compressor

or gate across the mix) at unity gain.

All TM500 insert jacks (channel and main) accept 1/4" TRS plugs, with the ring carrying

the send signal and the tip carrying the return signal; this will normally be connected to a

Y-cord (see the “Connecting The TM500” section on page 10 in this manual for a wiring

diagram). This configuration is sometimes known as an “effects loop,” since the signal is

sent and returned over the same cable.

If nothing is plugged into the main or channel insert jacks, they have no effect—but if you

connect them to a passive device like a patchbay, you’ll need to

normal (permanently

connect) or

half-normal (connection is made unless overriden by a patch cord) the send

to the return. Note that channel insert signals are returned just before the channel

faders. For this reason, you’ll have to be careful to set the output of connected external

devices to unity gain.
