The INSERT jacks are ideal for connecting devices such as graphic equalizers or noise filters into the corresponding channels. These are TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that carry both the send and return signal (tip = send/out; ring = return/in; sleeve = ground). NOTE Connection to an INSERT I/O jack requires a special insertion cable as illustrated below. Use a separately-sold Yamaha insertion cable (YIC025/050/070).

(1: Ground; 2: Hot; 3: Cold) NOTE On any given channel, you may use either an XLR or phone jack, but not both. e Stereo input • LINE: These are stereo input jacks that connect linelevel instruments, such as a synthesizer. These are unbalanced input jacks. Two jack types are provided: phone type and RCA pin type. NOTE On any given channel, you may use either a phone or RCA jack, but not both. CAUTION The signal output from the INSERT jacks is reversephased. This should not be a problem when connecting to an effect unit, but please be aware of the possibility of phase conflict when connecting to other types of device. A reversed-phased signal may result in degraded sound quality or even complete sound cancellation. MGP16X/MGP12X Owner's Manual 25
