Interfacing To A Mixing Console - Alesis Wedge Reference Manual

Chapter 2 – Connections

mono cords to the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] outputs of the Wedge to a stereo
amplification system or two mixer inputs.
• Stereo: Connect two cables to the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] INPUTS of the Wedge
from a stereo source , and two other mono cords from the [LEFT] and [RIGHT]
OUTPUTS of the Wedge to a stereo amplification system or two mixer inputs.

Interfacing to a Mixing Console

The Wedge handles mono or stereo sends at all system levels. The input circuitry of
the Wedge can easily handle professional +4 dBu levels (+20 dBu peaks), while
having enough input and output gain to interface with the lower -10 dBV signal
levels of home and project recording studios.
The Wedge may be connected to a mixing console in several different ways. It can
be used to effect several instruments at once by using the auxiliary send and return
controls of the mixer. Another method of interfacing is to connect the unit directly
to the insert send and return patch points of the channel that is to be effected. Still
another way of interfacing the Wedge to a mixer or recording console would be in-
line across the output of your mixing console. This last setup would be used only if
you needed to affect the entire mix.
