Quad 4 User's Manual

REMEMBER: When you use this method to process stereo sources such as keyboards, the auxiliary sends on

your console should be set up exactly opposite one another, as shown on channels 1 and 2 of Figure 1-5. Note

that the left channel is sent to Aux 1, while the right channel is sent to Aux 2. When using mono sources like

vocals and bass guitar, send equal levels from both Aux 1 and Aux 2 to maintain proper soundfield balance of

the effects, as shown on channels 5 and 8.

PARALLEL EFFECTS

Another application for the Quad 4 allows you to independently process four discrete signals simultaneously. This

method also utilizes the effects loops of your console, and since each effect has a mono input, the auxiliary sends

can be set up in a much more straightforward way. Figure 1-6 shows how to connect the Quad 4 for this applica-

tion.

Using this method, you could use channel 1 for a long vocal reverb, channel 2 for a short gated snare drum reverb,

channel 3 for lead guitar delay, and channel 4 to thicken keyboard instruments with a detuner. This method also

offers the flexibility of running different channels in-line or in an effects loop.

REMEMBER: Outputs can be configured any way you like, so don't let any of this input/output stuff scare you.

A WORD ABOUT BYPASS

Because of its flexibility, the Quad 4 can be connected in several different ways to meet the requirements of many

specific applications. However, the definition of Bypass may change, depending on the application. The Quad 4 fea-

tures Application-Specific bypassing so that the Quad 4 functions appropriately in nearly every application. When

bypassed, the Quad 4 simply switches the Effects in that Program OFF, but the Dry Levels defined in that Program

remain untouched. If the effects are all wet (no Dry Level), the Bypass function effectively mutes the Quad 4. If the

Dry Level is up, then the Quad 4 passes the original signals through without processing. A line through the modules

in a Effect Configuration Matrix indicate that the module is Bypassed.
