88 Series Outboard / 8801 Issue 7.6
Audio Routing Screen
When the unit is connected to a computer via USB and the Recall software is
running, if you right-click on the software title-bar at the top of the screen, a
small fly-out menu will give you an option called Audio Routing (Mac users:
CTRL + mouse click).
This enables the various processing items (EQ, DYN, LPF etc.) to be switched in
and out of the audio path by dragging and dropping with the mouse from the
computer, rather than from updating the order from the front of the unit.
As soon as a new item is inserted in the Channel Path or the Dynamics
Sidechain, the unit is updated accordingly.
Similarly, if the order of processing is changed on the 8801, these changes
will be immediately reflected on this screen.
The Channel Path is shown on the first row, with the Side Chain directly
beneath.
All the available (ie bypassed) processing items are shown beneath these two
rows.
Items can be switched in three ways:
 To enable an item, drag it from the Available area to the Channel Path
area.
 To insert the item into the side-chain, drag it into the Side Chain area.
 To disable an item, drag it into the Available area.
On the right of the screen, a panel shows the current order of the processing
items, EQ, Dynamics (Compressor/Gate) and Insert.
 To reorder the EQ, DYN, INS units, drag the icons to their desired position
within this panel.
 To view another 8801 Audio Routing Screen, use the drop-down menu to
select another unit.
Output Section
The Line output is from a male XLR on the rear panel and accommodates
both balanced and unbalanced connections.
The output signal is routed to a headphone amplifier and is accessible on the
¼” jack socket also on the rear panel.
The signal level for both the XLR line output and the headphone output is
controlled by the O/P Gain knob.
It has a range of between −∞ to +10dB.
The gain of the headphone output can be increased by moving an internal
jumper (J37, as shown in red, left)
This jumper is shown here in the High Gain position across the lowest two
pins.
To swap to the Low Gain setting, put the jumper on the highest two pins.
There is a 6dB difference between the High Gain / Low Gain positions.
