NAME:

Study Guide 1 – REM Patchbays

1. The patch bay inputs to the Neve channel path in MIC status are labeled __microphone
inputs__.

2. The patch points connected to wall-mounted female XLR’s found on the studio microphone
panels are labeled ___microphone__ __lines__.

3. Which patch point accesses the console microphone preamp? Microphone input

4. In MIC or MIX status, the outputs of the multi-track recorder are labeled __multitrack__
_returns__ on the patchbay.

5. The outputs of the multi-track recorder are normalled to which patch points? Group output

6. Inputs to the channel path in MIX status are called… line inputs

7. After the amplifier on the console channel strip, what is the next available output patch
point that does not require a fader or a routing matrix selection? Insert sends

8. When using an outboard signal processor to process a single console channel, which input
patch point to the console channel path is used to connect the output of the signal
processor into the channel path? Aux equipment in

9. When using an outboard signal processor to process a single console channel, which output
patch point from the console channel path is used to connect to the input of the signal
processor? Aux equipment out

10. In MIC status a microphone signal found on channel 17 and assigned DIR, the channel's
output is found on which patch point? Group output 17

11. The multi-track routing matrix assignment pushbuttons correspond with what patch points?
Group outputs

12. In MIC status a microphone signal found on channel 17 and routed to 13 using the multi-
track routing matrix must have which pushbuttons engaged? (2 pushbuttons) “1-24” button
and “13” button

13. What patch points correspond to the actual inputs of the multi-track recorder? Multitrack
sends

14. In MIX status, what patch points enable the return of signal or provide input to the small
faders? Monitor inputs
15. In MIC status, how do you individually increase or decrease the signal level return on a
channel strip? Small blue fader

16. How many Auxiliary Master outputs are on the Neve console? 8
17. Output patch points from the Neve Auxiliary Master section used to connect to effects
processor inputs or the Behringer Cue System inputs are labeled __Aux O/P___ on the
patch bay.

18. What are mults? Multiple patch points connected in parallel to one another to take one
signal routing it to more than one source

19. What patch points are used to access outboard signal processor inputs and outputs? Aux
equipment in/out

20. What is the purpose of the orange colored patch points found on each control room patch
bay and the central patch bay? They are tie lines. They connect inputs and outputs from
other devices in outher rooms

21. Which pushbuttons on the console channel strips correspond to GATE INPUTS 1-48 on the
patch bay? Key (dyn. Sections)

22. What patch points are used to send a console stereo mix buss output to the inputs of an
attached multi-track recorder? Mix O/P 1-4

23. What outputs are used to patch your mix to an external signal processor (dynamic or eq)
pre-fader from stereo mix buss outputs 1-2? Insert send

24. What inputs are used to patch your mix from an external signal processor (dynamic or eq)
pre-fader to stereo mix buss inputs 1-2? Insert returns

25. The input patch points of Plate Reverb 1 and Plate Reverb 2 located in the central patch bay
are _mono__ (singular) inputs. _1___(number) transducer excites each plate while __2__
(number) transducers return the signal in ____stereo______ outputs (dual).

26. The central patchbay provides tie line access between which studios? REM A, B, C and B19

27. The Tascam 8-Track tape machines found in the machine room are used to generate analog
__tape__ __delay__.

28. The Studio B Cue Amp is shared with Studio _D_ by making a patch connection. Patch
points to accomplish this are: B cue (L/R)

_12__ Outboard Inputs, __4__ Outboard Outputs as well as _4__ Apollo Line Ins, _4_ Apollo
Line Outputs, and ___ Apollo Mic Pres. (numbers)
30. Generally speaking, the NEVE patch bay labels in REM A are located _below__ the patch
point, whereas in REM Studios B and D patch bay labels are located _above_ the patch
point.
