9. On the NEVE console, in order to use the EQ, Dynamics, Aux Sends in the monitor path, you must: A. Do nothing, they are already part of the monitor path. B. Press the Pre buttons on the auxillary sends. C. Use the switches beside the small faders. D. None of The Above 10. On both the SSL and the NEVE, where does the output of the track assign matrix appear in the patch bay? A. Multi-track Sends B. Multi-track Returns C. Group Outputs D. Line Inputs 11. What patch-bay patch may we use to connect to the output of a MIC PREAMP in the NEVE console? A. Group Output B. Monitor Input C. Line Output D. Insert Send 12. To what are the orange-colored patches in the patch bay on the SSL and NEVE connected? A. Multi-track Harnesses B. Group Outputs C. Central Patch Bay D. Reverb Plates 13. When you are tracking, from which signal path must you obtain the signal for your headphone mixes? A. Channel Path B. Monitor Path C. Mix Busses D. Aux Sends 14. Select the ways below that you could insert an outboard compressor in the patch bay? A. (Line Out - Monitor In) and (Monitor Out – EQ in) B. (Group Output – Multi-track Send) and (Multi-track Return – Line In) C. (Insert Send – Insert Return) and (Group Output – Multi-track Send) D. Both B & C are Correct. E. Both A & B are Correct. 15. Why is it necessary to have multi-track returns connected to both the line input and monitor input in the patch bay? A. So that you can Track and Mix at the same time. B. Because of the Signal Routing in the Multi-track vs Mix Statuses. C. It’s really not necessary, they just do it to confuse us. D. To allow headphones to be used when Mixing. 16.
