Figure 6 Insert Cable for Use with FET III
On the familiar RCA plugs used on home theater equipment, the red
plug is always the right side. „Y‟ cables often use the same color
scheme because usually the cable was intended to split a stereo
signal into two mono signals: left and right. When you use this „Y‟
cable as an insert cable the tip side is the send side and the ring side
is the return side. This cable is BOTH an output and an input!
Steps for Patching with an Insert Jack and Cable:
1.
Patch the TRS side of the Insert or „Y‟ cable
into the jack marked “insert” on the patch bay of your mixer. If you
had signal playing through the channel at the time, this cable will
break the connection, and you shouldn‟t hear anything. If you touch
the tips of the other two plugs together, you will get signal back.
2.
Plug the connector marked “tip” or “send” or
simply in white into the input connector.
3.
Plug the connector marked “ring” or “return”
or that is in red into the output connector.
