VLZ4 Stereo Inputs and Returns:
Mono, Stereo, Whatever
Stereolineinputsandstereoreturnsareane
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.”
