MAIN AUX RETURNS (A1-A4) Point Before: Balanced or unbalanced linelevel cable with 1⁄4" TRS or TS connector, (tip = hot, ring = cold, sleeve = shield). Point After: MAIN AUX RETURNS (A1-A4) . The left jack's signal is normalled to the right jack - a mono signal, patched into the left jack only, appears on the left and right sides. Since the MAIN AUX RETURNS (A1-A4) are actually stereo channels with full routing and EQ, patch in the outputs of your essential effects devices (or any line-level signals) here. These signals can be sent to any mix, including the AUX SEND MASTERS , making them ideal for sending effects to the stage monitors. Similarly, essential mono effects outputs (one cable) should be patched into a mono Channel. "B" AUX RETURNS Point Before: Balanced or unbalanced linelevel cable with 1⁄4" TRS or TS connector, (tip = hot, ring = cold, sleeve = shield). Point After: "B" AUX RETURNS . The left jack's signal is normalled to the right jack - a mono signal, patched into the left jack only, will appear on the left and right sides. Since AUX RETURNS B1, B2 and B3 can be assigned only to the LEFT/RIGHT mix, and B4 only to the CENTER mix, patch the outputs of effects devices (or any line-level signals) that need to go only to these destinations. If you need full routing but you've already used all four of the MAIN AUX RETURNS (A1-A4), you can also patch into two Channels, panning one left and the other right. 25 DIRECT OUT INSERT SEND INSERT RETURN LINE IN SUB 1 SUB 5 SUB OUTPUTS SUB SUB 2 3 SUB SUB 6 7 SUB 4 SEND SUB INSERTS (BAL/UNBAL) 1 RETURN SEND 5 RETURN SEND 2 RETURN SEND 6 RETURN SUB 8 SEND 3 RETURN SEND 7 RETURN SEND 4 RETURN SEND 8 RETURN MIC 25 DC POWER IN (MACKIE 400-WATT POWER SUPPLY !)
