Connecting Inputs and Outputs

Connecting to the Channel or Main Inserts

of a mixing console

Unbalanced I/O

When connecting audio

cables and/or turning power

on and off, please make sure

that your amplifiers are

turned down or off to prevent

damage to your speakers.

Most mixing consoles have insert jacks near the main outputs and

for each channel as well. These are typically Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS)

jacks with the send and return on the same jack. To use the

DEQ830 as an effects insert device, you will need an insert cable

(not included).

This cable splits the TRS insert jack into two unbalanced mono

connectors. Usually, the tip is wired to the “Send” connector,

which plugs into one input of the equalizer, and the ring is wired

to the “Return” connector, which plugs into the corresponding

output of the equalizer. However, the wiring of the insert jacks is

different on some recording consoles, which means that the

input/output relationship may be reversed. Check your mixer’s

Reference Manual to be sure, or just try it both ways – this won’t

damage the DEQ830.

f your mixer does not have

insert jacks available at its

main outputs, simply connect

the main outputs of your non-

owered mixer to the inputs

of the DEQ830, then connect

the outputs of the equalizer to

the inputs of your mixdown

recorder or amplified

monitoring system.
