Connecting to the Channel Inserts of a
mixing console:
Most recording consoles have a jack near the mic and line inputs
labeled "Insert". This is typically a TRS jack with the send and
return on the same jack. To use the Metavox as a channel insert,
you will need an insert cable (not included).

This cable splits the TRS insert jack into two unbalanced mono
connectors. Usually, the tip is connected to the INPUT of the
Metavox and the ring is connected to the OUTPUT of the
Metavox. However, this may be reversed on some recording
consoles. Check your mixer's Reference Manual to be sure or just
try it both ways – this won't damage the Metavox.
For stereo operation, you would use two insert cables, inserted
into two adjacent channels of the mixer. One would send and
receive signal to the left channel of the Metavox, and the pan pot
of that mixer channel would normally be panned to the left. Pan
the next mixer channel, for the right side of the Metavox, to the
right.
