6. Putting Your System Together
________________________________________________________
The System Mix Plus is a very flexible and versatile mixer. It can be used in many different
ways. The following examples demonstrate some typical systems. Your needs may require
different connections. These systems are simply meant to be starting points.
Remember, all
connections are intended for line level signals only, NOT speaker connections.
6.1 Two Typical Systems
System #1
This is a system for a preamp (or amp effect loop) and one or two separate effects devices. It
takes advantage of the volume control and demonstrates a very basic system.
1. The guitar is connected to the amp or
preamp input. The preamp output or amp
effect send is connected to the Left volume
control input.
2.
The signal comes out of the volume
control and is fed into Mix 1 In 1 Left. (If you
don't want to use the volume control, connect your
amp directly to Mix 1 In 1.) The passive split
sends copies of the preamp signal to the mono inputs of the effects devices.
3. The stereo outputs of the effects are
brought back to the mixer to be blended
with the original preamp tone. For this
example, we will use Mix 2 In 2 and
Mix 2 In 3. Remember, Mix 2 In 1 is
being used by the internal connection
with Mix 1 (the preamp). Next, the
Mix 2 Outputs are connected to the
power amp input, or the amp effect
return.
4. Additionally, you can connect the
rear panel Direct Outs, or the front panel
Balanced Outs to a mixing console or
recorder. Be sure the Cabinet Simulator is
on.
