Using the D3500 for Mains and Monitors
Using the D3500 into Insert Points
You can use the D3500 in your mixer’s insert points if you want to equalize two mono channels individually in the mix. In this example
the D3500’s Channel 1 INPUT and OUTPUT are inserted on a bass guitar channel using a 1/4-inch TRS to 2 x 1/4-inch TS “Y” cable, and the
Channel 2 INPUT and OUTPUT are inserted on a keyboard channel using the same type of cable. For more information on cable wiring see
the D3500 Wiring Guide page 22 in this manual.
In this example, an D3500 is used for both the main PA speakers running a mono mix, and for the monitor mix, also in mono. For the main
PA, the mixer’s MONO output is connected to the D3500’s Channel 1 input. Then, the D3500’s output is connected to the input of the right
main PA active (self-powered) loudspeaker. The left main PA speaker is connected by “daisy-chaining” from the right. For the monitor mix,
the mixer’s AUX output is connected to the D3500’s Channel 2 input. The D3500’s Channel 2 output is connected to the input of the monitor
power amplifier operating in bridge mode. Finally, the power amplifier’s outputs are connected to the passive (non-powered) monitor loud-
speakers. (See the owners manual for your specific power amplifier for the proper bridge mode operation.)
