WIRING A TRS INSERT CABLE
Note: Some manufacturers reverse the Tip and Sleeve connections, where the Tip is Return and the Sleeve is Send.
This would mean that IN becomes OUT and OUT becomes IN when referring to the previous drawing. Be sure to
check the owner’s manual of your console.
5.3 EFFECTS LOOP PATCHES
As we stated early on, the Exciter was primarily designed as an in-line device. However, if you choose to use it with
a post fader aux send, keep in mind that the Exciter has two independant processers labeled channel one and chan-
nel two. A cable would be patched from the aux send output to the channel one input and another cable would
be patched from the channel one output to a mono effect return or input channel on the mixer. Another aux send
could be used with channel two of the Exciter the same way. Also, the signal being returned back into the console
is not a 100% wet effect signal. The return is a mix of effects and the original sound. Because of this we recommend
that you set the mix controls of both the Aural Exciter and the Big Bottom to the maximum setting (fully clockwise)
when using the Exciter in this way. Because very little Aural Excitement goes a long way, it is possible to get very
good results from this type of set-up.
