4-3. Channel Inserts for Channel-specific Processing
Another way to get the mixer’s signal outside the box is to use the channel inserts. The channel inserts are
almost always located before the channel fader and, when used, actually “break” the mixer’s internal sig-
nal path. Unlike the AUX sends and returns, the channel insert only applies to the corresponding chan-
nel. Channel inserts are most commonly used for applying a dynamics processor such as a compressor or
limiter to a specific channel—although they can be used with just about any type of in/out processor.
Channel insert jacks must be used with a special insert cable that has a TRS phone jack on one end and
mono phone jacks on the split “Y” end. One of the mono phone jacks carries the “send” signal to be fed
to the input of the external processor, and the other carries the “return” signal from the output of the pro-
cessor.

When a plug is inserted into the channel insert jack, the inter-
nal signal path is interrupted and sent outside the mixer for
external processing.
