Alesis 7-51-0121-A manual Connecting to the Channel Inserts of a mixing console

Connections 2

Connecting to the Channel Inserts of a mixing console:

Most recording consoles have a jack in each channel 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 Smashup as a channel insert, you will need an insert cable (not included).

	Insert return		To ModFX INPUT
Tip:		Sleeve:
				Insert RETURN:
Insert send		Insert Ground

From ModFX OUTPUT

This cable splits the TRS insert jack into two unbalanced mono connectors. Usually, the tip is connected to the INPUT of the Smashup and the ring is connected to the OUTPUT of the Smashup. 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 Smashup.

For stereo operation, you would use two insert cables, inserted into two adjacent channels of the mixer. One would send and receive signal to the left channel of the Smashup, and the pan pot of that mixer channel would normally be panned to the left. Pan the next mixer channel, for the right side of the Smashup, to the right.
