This example shows you how to connect the PEQ-450 to one mono
source. You can use this method to connect two mono or stereo
sources to the PEQ-450. You would need up to four insert cables to
make these connections.
Balanced I/O
Some recording consoles have balanced sends and returns for each
channel. If your recording console has these connections, use a
balanced TRS cable to connect the insert send to the
INPUT
of the
equalizer, and another balanced TRS cable to connect the equalizer
OUTPUT
to the insert return.
Connecting to the Main Inserts of a mixing
console:
Unbalanced I/O
In addition to channel inserts, most mixing consoles have main insert
jacks near the main outputs. You can use insert cables to connect the
PEQ-450 to the main L/R bus the same way you connect it to a pair
of channels. Simply connect one insert cable to the left main insert of
the mixer, and connect the two mono jacks to the left
INPUT
and
OUTPUT
of the PEQ-450. Use another insert cable to connect the right
main insert to the right
INPUT
and
OUTPUT
of the PEQ-450.
Tip:
Use both channels Since the PEQ-450 has two stereo channels,
A and B, you can connect two independent stereo sources. Try
using channel A to EQ the lead vocal, and channel B to EQ the
main output bus. Or use channel A on the kick drum and
channel B for the snare drum.
