1.7 Signal Flow: Patching Into and Out of Your Mic Pre EQ
1.7.1 Microphone to Mic Pre EQ to Audio Interface or Mixer
Basic Cables Needed:
(1) Microphone Type Cable (Female XLR to Male XLR)
(1) Female XLR to Male ¼” TRS Balanced Cable
Patch from the microphone to the mic input on the Mic Pre EQ using the
female XLR to male XLR microphone cable. Patch out of one of the line
outputs to a line input on your audio interface or console using either a
female XLR to ¼” TRS cable or a female XLR to male XLR cable.
1.7.2 Via a Patch Bay
In most professional setups, processors are racked and then installed as
part of a patch bay system. This makes it easier to make connections,
because you don’t need to go behind the rack to plug and unplug cables.
Patch bays are usually made up of modules with 2 jacks in the front, one
over the other, and two jacks (or solder terminals, or DB25, etc) on the
back. For the sake of this manual, we’ll assume you’re using a ¼” TRS
patch bay with jacks on the front and back.
