the signal both in and out of the mixer/amplifier combination. The insert
points are interrupting, meaning the insertion of a plug will interrupt the signal
going to the amplifier. The tip is the return, or input to the amplifier, while the ring
is the send, or output of the mixer.

EXTERNAL PROCESSING

To place an external processor in the loop, first you need to obtain or make
a special three conductor cable which is terminated on one end with a stereo TRS
(tip-ring-sleeve) 1/4" plug, and terminated on the other end with two mono TS (tip-
sleeve) 1/4" plugs. The shield at the TRS end must connect to the sleeve of each
mono plug. The tip from the insert point connects to one mono tip (return), while
the ring (send) from the insert point connects to the other mono plug's tip (see
figure 8). Remember to identify which mono plug is send and which is return. As
these are unbalanced signals, avoid running them more than ten or fifteen feet to
the outboard processor. Any greater distance may increase hum susceptibility. If
at all possible, always mount external processing in the same rack as the power
amplifier to minimize the chance for ground loops in the system.

AUX OUTPUTS

If you wish to tap the mixer's output for external use without disturbing the
signal sent to the amplifier, as in driving a tape deck or auxiliary amplifier, the
procedure is similar. Make a cable with a stereo plug on one end, only connect
together the tip and the ring. This is the hot signal to whatever device you are
driving. Keep the cable length to a minimum and avoid ground loops by the same
techniques as mentioned above. Connect the shield to the sleeve as you would any
signal cable and terminate it at the other end according to your needs.
MIXER OVERRIDE
You can override the mixer by simply inserting a mono plug with your
external source on the tip. This feeds directly to the power amplifier without any
level control on the amp itself. Again, this is an unbalanced input, so follow the
techniques mentioned above for minimum noise and ground loop hum.
