Note that you will not hear any signal through the Multimix 12R if the INSERT jack is plugged in and the signal is interrupted in that loop (by the other cables being disconnected, the processor being turned off, or the volume turned off in the processor).

Connecting an in-line processor

1.Obtain a "stereo splitter" insert cable from your dealer.

2.Connect the stereo (TRS) end to the INSERT jack of the Multimix 12R.

3.Connect the mono plug from the tip connector to the input of the processor.

4.Connect the mono plug from the ring connector to the output of the processor.

If you're not sure which mono plug is from the tip and which is from the ring, check to see if the cable is labeled. If not, simply try it one way and if the signal doesn't pass through, swap the input and output plugs the other way.

•The [INSERT] jack may also be used as a direct output to a multitrack recorder such as the ADAT. The send from the insert jack is where the cleanest mic preamp signal may be obtained, without passing through the EQ or channel circuitry. Simply insert the plug to the first "click" (the ring connector) and it will not interrupt the flow through the mixer, while
