VLZ4 Stereo Inputs and Returns:
Mono, Stereo, Whatever
Stereo line inputs and stereo returns are a fine
example of our philosophy (which we just made up)
of Maximum Flexibility with Minimum Headache.
The inputs and returns will automatically be mono
or stereo, depending upon how you use the jacks.
Here’s how it works:
A mono signal should be patched into the input
or return jack labeled left (mono). The signal will
be routed to both the left and right sides of the return
circuit, and will show up in the center of the stereo pair
of buses it’s assigned to, or it can be panned with the
pan [26] control.
A stereo signal, having two plugs, should be patched
into the left (mono) and the right input or return jacks.
A jack switch in the right jack will disable the mono
function, and the signals will show up in stereo.
A mono signal connected to the right jack will show
up in the right bus only. You probably will only want to
use this sophisticated effect for special occasions.
Mults and “Y”s
A mult or “Y” connector allows you to route one output
to two or more inputs by simply providing parallel
wiring connections. You can make “Y”s and mults for
the outputs of both unbalanced and balanced circuits.
Remember: Only mult or “Y” one output into
several inputs. If you need to combine several
outputs into one input, you must use a mixer,
not a mult or a “Y.”
