1. Connect the 1/4" output to the input
of an instrument amplifier.
The amp will see a blended signal
of both microphone and pickup.
2. Connect the XLR output to the input
of your PA system. The PA will see
a blended signal of both
Microphone and pickup. This is a
great way to control exactly what
the soundman has to work with and
what the audience will hear.
3. XLR to mains and transducer effects
to stage monitors to reduce
feedback.
Connect the XLR output to the input
of your PA system. The house will
see a blended signal-both
Microphone and pickup.
The signal from the transducer send
goes into a direct box and then into
the PA. Have the soundman put
only this signal through the stage
monitors to help reduce feedback.
The Microphone Channel return comes before the:
• Volume and master volume controls
• Mute Switch
The transducer effects loop lets you insert outboard effects or signal processors into the Transducer
Channel.
The Transducer Channel send comes after the:
• Bass and treble controls
• Trim control
• Phase switch
The Transducer Channel return comes before:
• Volume and master volume controls
• Phase and mute switches

Sends
When you need a fixed level signal (regardless of changes in stage level) use the transducer and
microphone sends. Typical applications for the sends:
• Transducer Send to an Electronic Tuner
The transducer send provides a strong and steady signal for electronic tuners. Since the send is not
affected by the mute switch, you may tune your instrument onstage without being heard through the
speakers.
• Live Recording or Broadcast Feed
Since the sends are not affected by any of the front panel volume controls, you can plug them into an
external DI for a fixed level signal for recording or radio gear.
Returns
The microphone or transducer returns can be used as alternate inputs. A buffered signal appearing at
one of the Returns will replace the signal appearing at the respective input of the Pocket Blender.
For example, a CD or MD player can plug into the microphone return, replacing the microphone signal.
Outputs
Plug the 1/4" output into an instrument amplifier or an unbalanced input on a mixer.
Plug the XLR output into the balanced input of a PA mixer or recording console.
Ground Lift
Use this switch to eliminate AC ground loop hum. When you use the XLR output together with the 1/4"
output or one of the effects loops and you hear hum from the speakers, push the ground lift switch in
and the hum should go away. If you have more than one AC powered device plugged into the Pocket
Blender, the "lift" position may not completely eliminate ground loop hum.
