Digital signal processing (DSP) technology has produced effects processors that are low cost and
packed with features and performance. These processors can enhance your performance by
adding studio quality reverb and effects to your sound. Your effects processors can easily be
connected to your mixer as shown. Here’s how to set-up and use your effects processor with
your MusicMix 16.
1. Complete the system set-up as described in the Quick Start section of this guide.
2. Connect your effects processor as shown in the illustration.
3. Determine which inputs will have the effect applied. For this discussion, let’s add reverb to a
vocal mic on input channel 1.
4. Bring the channel 1 EFX control to the 2:00 o’clock position.
5. Bring the EFX MASTER control to the 2:00 o’clock position.
6. Engage the LISTEN switch next to the EFX MASTER control. Note the LISTEN ON LED lights.
7. Ask the performer to speak or sing into the microphone. Observe the MusicMix16 METER and
make sure that it is not being driven past the top LED. Disengage the EFX LISTEN switch.
