20 AIRFX REFERENCE MANUAL

Connecting to a Studio Mixer

The best method of connecting the airFX to a mixing console or

multitracker is to use the channel inserts. You’ll need two "insert

splitter" cables with a TRS stereo 1/4” connector on one side splitting

to two RCA connectors on the other. (Note: this is NOT a "Y" cord; the

ring is connected to one RCA and the tip to the other.) Insert the 1/4”

stereo plug into the mixer’s channel insert, connect the send plug to

the airFX’s Input and the return to the airFX’s output.

You can also use the main inserts, if your mixer has them, to use the

airFX on the entire mix, or on a group insert if you want to effect

multiple channels at once but not the entire mix.

Aux send/return: Note that in most cases, you won't connect the

airFX to an effects send and return of a mixer, the way that

many reverbs or other effect devices are. This is because when

the effect is off, the airFX still sends the "dry" signal to its

outputs. This may cause phase cancellation or other unwanted

effects if the aux return is mixed back with the original.

Mono Operation

If your source does not have stereo outputs, you can use only one side

of the airFX. Plug the mono output of your source into the Left input

of the airFX, then connect the Left output of the airFX to the

destination. If the destination is stereo, you may need a “Y-cable” to

split the one RCA jack into two RCA jacks.
