5. Audio Connections
There are various ways to integrate the FEX800 into your set-up.
Depending on the application in question, you will need different sets
of connecting cables. The cables to use are described below.
5.1 Connection with insert cables
Please use standard insert cables equipped with 1/4" connectors to
connect the MINIFEX to the insert path of a mixing console.
These Y cables have two 1/4" TS connectors at one end, and one 1/4" TRS
connector at the other. Connect the plug marked „Send“ to the
INPUT L jack on the effects unit. Connect the „Return“ plug to the
OUTPUT L jack on the device. Connect the TRS connector to the insert
jack of the channel strip on the mixing console. Use two insert cables
for stereo sub-groups and main-mix inserts. The second cable must
be connected to the INPUT/OUTPUT R jacks of the FEX800.

5.2 Connection with 1/4" cables
To wire the MINIFEX in series with other equipment or via the aux
paths of a mixing console, please use 1/4" cables, sometimes also
referred to as patch cords. These cables have a 1/4" connector at each
end. Connect the aux send outputs of your console to the inputs,
and the aux returns to the outputs of the MINIFEX. You can also
connect balanced stereo 1/4" cables to the MINIFEX outputs.
