4. Putting Your System Together
________________________________________________________
The System Mix 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.
4.1 Two Typical Systems
System #1
This is a system for a preamp (or amp effect loop) and one or two separate effects devices. It
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 input of Mix 1 In 1. The passive split sends copies of the preamp signal
to the mono inputs of the effects devices.
2. 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 because 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.
In this example, the Mix 1 knob controls the level of the preamp, and the Mix 2 knob controls the
level of the entire mix. Please refer to Section 3.3 to correctly set levels.
System #2
This is a system that demonstrates a two stage effects system. This allows certain effects to affect
other ones. Traditionally, the final effects are delays or reverbs that you want to affect the entire
signal.
