How to use ''channel patching" accessory jack
The accessory jack (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) is provided on each input channel to allow insertion of
outboard signal processing devices (example: compressor/limiters, noise gate, equalizer, etc.) into the signal path. The jack functions as both an output and an input (Tip=Receive,
Ring=Send, Sleeve=Shield). Connection cables for this purpose should be wired as illustrated in Fig. 2.
Inserting a plug into the jack interrupts normal signal flow and places the external device into
the circuitry just prior to the input equalizer section. (See Fig. 1.)

*The connection marked 
of the shield and sleeve is determined by the type of equipment to be connected.

The accessory jacks may also be used as a direct output for each input channel, allowing direct
connection to a
To unbalanced input of other input channels to mix dry signals with processed signals.

Normal impedance of the accessory send is greater than 10k ohms and the receive impedance is 10k ohms. Both nominal levels are at 0dB (0.775V).
