4 Select the input channel for the return signal.

Push the

INT. EFFECT RTN

switch in to send the

return signal to channels 15-16. Leave the switch out
(do not press it in) to send the return signal to chan-
nels 13-14.

CAUTION

Do not connect anything to the STEREO IN jack when
using channels 15-16 for the return signal. Doing so cuts
(mutes) the return signal.

When connecting an iPod or other device to the STEREO
IN jack on channels 15-16, set the INT. EFFECT RTN switch
to channels 13-14 (pressed in) to send the return signal
to these channels.

5 Turn the

ST

switch ON for the input channel receiv-

ing the return signal, and use its fader to adjust
return levels.

When using AUX 1 for stage or cue monitoring, if you
want to monitor the sound with the effect applied, turn
the TO AUX 1 switch ON for the input channel receiving
the return signal.

Using external effects

External effects can also be used with this mixer.

Channels 1–6, 7-8 and 9-10 can have an external effect
applied by sending their signals to the external effect
through the AUX 1or AUX 2 bus. The return signal can be
input into any other channels as desired.

In the following explanation, the signals are sent through
the AUX 2 bus to an external effect, and the return signals
are received by channels 13-14.

When sending signals to an external effect through

AUX 1, turn the PRE switch OFF to send the post fader
signal.
When receiving external effect signals back through

channels 13-14, do not set the internal effect return
to channels 13-14 (by setting the INT. EFFECT RTN
switch to CH 13-14).

If the AUX 2 bus is used to send signals to an external

effect, the AUX 1 bus can still be used for monitoring.
With M-164 FX and M-164 UF units, by sending AUX 1

to an external effect and AUX 2 to the internal effect,
two types of effects can be used.

First, connect the input jack of the external effect to the

AUX SEND 2

jack first, and connect the external effect

output jacks to the L/R input jacks of mixer channels 13-14.
