MINICOM COM800

5.1.2 The MINICOM as a mix-signal compressor connected in series

If your mixing console has no insert connectors, you can also connect the MINICOM to the outputs of an audio card or the main-mix outputs of a mixing console. In this configuration the outputs of the mixing console/audio card are connected to the inputs of the MINICOM. Then, connect the outputs of the COM800 directly to the recording device or the inputs of the audio card. The following illustration shows the corresponding wiring scheme.

Use standard cables with two 1/4" connectors, sometimes also referred to as patch cords or instrument cables.

If your equipment has balanced outputs, you can also use balanced cables to connect the inputs of the COM800. Balanced cables are immune to interference, such as hum caused by power cords.

If you want to operate your MINICOM in mono only, connect one cable each to the left input and output jacks. Select a suitable mono preset.
