Using Insert; Using The Internal Effects Processor; Applying The Internal Effects - Fostex LM16 Owner's Manual

• Using Insert

The [INSERT] jack, as well as the AUX post
send, is used for connecting to an external
processor. Unlike the AUX send, you can ap-
ply effects to a single channel signal.
The LM16 provides the [INSERT] jacks for
mixer channels 1 through 8. Each jack is used
mainly for connecting a compressor, limiter,
equalizer, etc.
By connecting an external effect processor to
the [INSERT] jack, you can send the channel
signal to the processor and receive the pro-
cessed signal.

The [INSERT] jack on the LM16 is the TRS-
type unbalanced phone jack. You can make
bidirectional connection with the effect pro-
cessor using a "Y" cable as shown below.

Using the internal effects processor

The LM16 features the internal effects (re-
verb/delay) processor, which allows apply-
ing effects to the mixer channel signals.
The effect send signal of each channel is ad-
justed by the [EFF] control after the channel
fader. The effected (wet) signal is adjusted
using the controls in the [EFFECT TO STE-
REO], [EFFECT TO GROUP] and [EFFECT TO
AUX] sections and sent to the stereo, group
and AUX busses.

(1) Set the [EFFECT] ON/OFF switch to "ON"
( ).
(2) Select the desired effect type using the
[SELECT]
The indicator for the selected type is
illuminated. (See the next page for details
about each effect type.)
(3) Adjust the effect send level of the channel
signal using the [EFF] control on each mixer
channel.
Note that the effect send level is affected by
the channel fader.
