Studio Quad V2 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 Studio Quad V2 allows you to independently process four discrete signals simultaneous-
ly. 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 Studio Quad V2 for
this application.

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 Studio Quad V2 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 Studio
Quad V2 features Application Specific Bypassing so that the Studio Quad V2 functions appropriately in nearly every
application. When Bypassed, the Studio Quad V2 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 effec-
tively Mutes the Studio Quad V2. If the Dry Level is up, then the Studio Quad V2 passes the original signals through
without processing. A line through the modules in a Effect Configuration Matrix indicate that the module is
Bypassed.
