Using Stereo Effects with the M-2600

MK

II Series Consoles

The M-2600

MK

II Series consoles provide four mono and two stereo effects sends. These

consoles provide six stereo effects returns. The two stereo sends are identified as AUX 1-

2 and AUX 3-4.  These are the same two AUX sends that function as CUE sends during

the recording process.

As AUX 1-2 and AUX 3-4 are normally summed, you will want to press the SPLIT 3-4

switch in the Aux Master Section of the console when using these as stereo effect sends.

This will enable you to use two discreet stereo effects processors with the M-2600

MK

II.

Make Your Connections as Follows:

1) Connect AUX 1/L  and 2/R to the left and right processor inputs

2) Connect the processor left and right outputs to the EFFECT RETURN 1* left and

right

3) Set the WET/DRY balance on the signal processor to WET

*  While the processor outputs can be connected to any of the six stereo returns, it is

advisable to align the sends and returns numerically.  This will assist you in remembering

the function of each particular effects "loop".  As you add more connections to the console,

you would be well advised to make written note of these various connections.
