Connecting inputs and outputs
✪
When connecting audio cables and/or turning power on and
off, make sure that all devices in your system are turned off
and the volume controls are turned down.
Connecting to the Channel Inserts of a mixing
console:
Unbalanced I/O
Most recording consoles have a jack near the mic and line inputs
labeled "Insert". This is typically a TRS jack with the send and return
on the same jack. To use the PEQ-450 as a channel insert, you will
need an insert cable (not included).
Tip:
Insert Send
Ring:
Insert Return
Sleeve:
Insert Ground
Insert Send:
To EQ Input
Insert Return:
From EQ
Output
This cable splits the TRS insert jack into two unbalanced mono
connectors. Usually, the tip is connected to the
INPUT of the
equalizer and the ring is connected to the OUTPUT of the equalizer.
However, this may be reversed on some recording consoles. Check
your mixer’s Reference Manual to be sure or just try it both ways –
this won’t damage the PEQ-450.
