Turn Off all equipment before making any connections.
Mount the 266XL in a 1U rack space (optional).
The 266XL requires one rack space (height) and 1 rack space (width). It can be mounted above or below anything that doesn't generate excessive heat, since it requires no special ventilation. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113ºF (45ºC) when equipment is powered.
Make connections via 1/4” phone or XLR jacks according to your requirements. Typical patch points include: a mixer's channel or subgroup inserts when using the 266XL on individual instruments or tracks; the mixer's main outputs when mixing; an instrument preamp's effects loop when using the 266XL for guitar or bass; main outs of a submixer (i.e., keyboard mixer) as the signal is sent to main mixer; between a DAT's output and an analog cassette input. When using a chain of processors, the 266XL may be placed either before or after effects or dynamics processors. We rec- ommend you use common sense and experiment with different setups to see which one provides the best results for your needs.
