PLUGGING UP THE OUTPUTS
Use these sockets if you wish to insert external signal processing equipment into the L-
R mix post-mix amp and pre-L-R fader. This lets you check the effect of the inserted
equipment using the console headphones or local monitor. For live sound it is
common to insert graphic equalisers to adjust for the room acoustics. In recording you
could plug in a compressor to prevent unexpected peaks overloading the recording.
Use a suitable stereo jack lead or Y-adaptor for tip = send, ring = return.
L-R MIX
INSERTS
2-TRACK REPLAY
Plug your 2
-
track recorder into a stereo
return to monitoryour recording, or for
replay over the PA. The return can
also be used for intermission replay
from a CD player or similar.
STAGE MONITOR
AND CUE SENDS
Set up a post
-
fade aux mix to send
channel signals to an external effects
device such as reverb or delay. Return
the processed signal to the mix by
plugging the device output into ST1 or
ST2 stereo return, or into a channel
input. These inputs can operate
balanced or unbalanced. For a mono
return simply plug into the L input leaving
R unplugged. The setting of the channel
aux send control determines how much
effect is added to the signal.
EFFECTS SEND
AND RETURN
Set up a pre-fade aux mix to
send a monitor or cue mix to the
performers. The aux outputs
are 3-wire impedance balanced
for interference rejection when
plugged into balanced
equipment inputs. You could
insert a graphic EQ between the
output and the amplifier for
monitor feedback control.
These outputs are 3
-
wire balanced XLR operating at a n
ominal +4dBu to drive
professional equipment over long cable runs without interference pickup. You can,
however, connect to 2-wire unbalanced equipment inputs by linking signal - (cold) to
ground (XLR pin3 to pin1). Connect to an amplifier of suitable power rating for the
venue to drive the PA loudspeakers. Or connect to a 2-track recorder for studio or
location recording.
