5. EFFECTS BUS LINK
If you own two MultiMix8Line mixers, you can connect them so that they can share one external
processor. Use a TRS-to-dual-TS 1/4" cable such as a standard "Insert" cable. Connect the
two separate TS (mono) plugs to the EFFECTS SEND of the first mixer, "Tip" signal Left and
"Ring" signal Right. Connect the TRS (stereo) end of the cable to the second mixer.
Connect your external effects processor to the EFFECTS SEND and EFFECTS RETURN jacks
of the second mixer. The AUX SEND levels from both mixers will now be routed to the effects
processor. Control the overall effect level using the EFFECTS RETURN knob on the front of the
second mixer.
6. STEREO EFFECTS SEND and RETURN
Connect a reverberation unit (such as the Alesis MidiVerb4) or other effects processor to these
jacks in order to add effects to your mix. Connect the input INTO your effects processor to the
EFFECTS SEND jacks. Connect the output FROM your effects processor to the EFFECTS
RETURN jacks. If you are using a mono effects processor, connect only the LEFT (MONO)
jacks of the MultiMix8Line. Using the LEFT (MONO) jack only, the effects return will be heard
through both LEFT and RIGHT output channels.
Once your effects processor is connected, use the AUX SEND knob on each channel to adjust
the amount of effect applied to that channel.
Consider setting your effects processor to "100% wet" so that it sends only effected signal back
to the MultiMix8Line. This will make it easier to dial in just the right effect amount using the
channels' AUX SEND knobs and the master EFFECTS RETURN knob.
These are unbalanced connections. Use TS (Tip-sleeve) 1/4" cables for connections.
7. MAIN OUTPUTS
Connect the MultiMix8Line to its destination output device (amplifier, powered speakers, main
mixer, etc.) using the main outputs. These are balanced jacks, so use TRS cables for best
results. The MAIN OUTPUT level is controlled by the MASTER volume knob on the front panel.
8. VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH
VERY IMPORTANT! Slide the voltage selector to the appropriate setting for your power source.
9. FUSE
The fuse is user replaceable. To ensure proper operation, replace only with a fuse of the rated
type as shown on the rear of the unit.
10. AC POWER CABLE
The MultiMix8Line contains a built-in power supply with switchable international voltage. Use an
IEC power cable to connect to a power source.
