This example shows you how to connect the PEQ-450 to one mono source. You can use this method to connect two mono or stereo sources to the PEQ-450. You would need up to four insert cables to make these connections.
Balanced I/O
Some recording consoles have balanced sends and returns for each channel. If your recording console has these connections, use a balanced TRS cable to connect the insert send to the INPUT of the equalizer, and another balanced TRS cable to connect the equalizer OUTPUT to the insert return.
Connecting to the Main Inserts of a mixing console:
Unbalanced I/O
In addition to channel inserts, most mixing consoles have main insert jacks near the main outputs. You can use insert cables to connect the PEQ-450 to the main L/R bus the same way you connect it to a pair of channels. Simply connect one insert cable to the left main insert of the mixer, and connect the two mono jacks to the left INPUT and OUTPUT of the PEQ-450. Use another insert cable to connect the right main insert to the right INPUT and OUTPUT of the PEQ-450.
Tip: Use both channels Since the PEQ-450 has two stereo channels, A and B, you can connect two independent stereo sources. Try using channel A to EQ the lead vocal, and channel B to EQ the main output bus. Or use channel A on the kick drum and channel B for the snare drum.
