day, and then use a combination of aux sends, direct outputs and console bus outputs another day without reaching behind an equipment rack.

This setup is designed for a patch bay that is not normalled. A normalled patch bay is one that automatically sends the signal from one jack of the patch bay (typically the top row) to another jack (typically the lower jack).

To connect a patch bay using this configuration:

Use balanced or unbalanced cables (depending on your patch bay) to connect the Input module row of Input jacks to one row of the patch bay.

Patch another set of cables from the Input module Thru jacks to another row of the patch bay.

Patch an audio signal into the Input row of the patch bay.

The signal is processed by the Transmitter. It will appear in the Personal Mixers.

To send the signal elsewhere in the studio, patch a cable into the Thru row on the patch bay.

Repeat these steps to add additional audio signals to the mix.

Adding Effects to a Monitor Mix

Sometimes you may want to have reverb, delays, etc. sent into the monitor system. This works for studio cue systems as well as for live applications. There are two ways of accomplishing this:

Patch the effects returns from the mixer into the Input module via insert points if available.

Connect the effects device outputs to the Input module first and then use the Thru jack on the Input module to complete the signal chain.

In either case the performers can now decide how much reverb is required in their personal mix. And, they can save up to sixteen mixes with various amounts of effects in each.

Adding Live Ambience to a Monitor Mix

For performers using in-ear monitors in a live-performance situation, it may be desirable to add some room tone into the monitor system to help add a sense of space. This technique can be used with most live consoles. All you need is a way to send the signal from a pair of stage or room mics into the Input module Transmitter.

If you are using direct outputs from channels to send instrument and mic
