A
Level Control Knobs
Each
LEVEL
knob increases or decreases the input signal level at one of the four stereo output buses.
The detented stop at the midway position of each level control knob indicates unity gain (the signal level at the stereo
bus equals the input level at the AuxPander
IN/OUT
jack). Turn the knob clockwise beyond the detented position to
increase the level up to 12 dB.
B
Balance Control Knobs
Each
BALANCE
knob pans the signal between the left and right outputs of a stereo bus. Set the knob to the middle,
detent position to make the signal level equal at both outputs.
C
IN/OUT Jack
NOTE: This section assumes a basic understanding of insert points. To learn about the fundamentals of insert points,
see Appendix II.
Normal Connection (from Insert Point):
Use a
1
/
4
” TRS–TRS cable to connect any of these jacks to another mixer’s unbalanced channel insert. The AuxPand-
er splits the signal into two, routing one to its mix bus and the other back to the mixer’s insert point. The signal returning
to the mixer is unaffected, unless you choose to first route it through the AuxPander’s inserts.
IMPORTANT: Depending on whether your mixer inserts are tip-send or ring-send, you may need to change the
TIP
ASSIGN
switch position. See Callout D—Tip Assign Switch.
D
Tip Assign Switch
This switch makes the AuxPander compatible with all mixing consoles. It reverses the function of the tip and ring con-
tacts of the
IN/OUT
jack. NOTE: Change the position of this switch if, after connecting the AuxPander to the mixing
console inserts, the signal does not return to the console.
TIP ASSIGN
IN
OUT
TIP ASSIGN
IN
OUT
IN: Use this setting with tip-send inserts. The AuxPander receives in-
put signal from the plug tip and sends output back through the plug
ring. (Tip is in.)
OUT: Use this setting with ring-send inserts. The AuxPander receives
input signal from the plug ring and sends output back through the plug
tip. (Tip is out.)
E
Insert Jack
Use an insert cable (”Y” cable) to connect these insert jacks to serial processors (compressors, gates, equalizers).
You can route the returned (processed) insert signal three different ways. See callout F— Insert Assign Switch.
NOTE: The
INSERT
tip/ring assignment matches the
IN/OUT
tip/ring assignment, as determined by the TIP ASSIGN
switch setting.
