Using External Effects For Recording - Fostex MR16 Owner's Manual

Using external effects for recording

During recording, you can apply external effects to a sound source connected to an input con-
nector in the [INPUT A] channel.
The [INPUT A] channel has the [INSERT] connector (phone jack). You can connects an external
effect unit (typically, a compressor/limiter) to this connector using a Y-cable, as shown below.
Sound source
The source (dry) signal fed to the [INPUT A] channel is sent to the external effect unit
connected to the [INSERT] connector and the wet (effect) signal returns to the [INPUT A]
channel. Thus, you can apply effects to the "INPUT A" signal by connecting an external
effect unit.
Sound source
See the manual of your effect unit for details about how to use it.
A Y-cable is not supplied with the MR16, therefore, purchase an appropriate Y-cable
available in the market.
<Hint>: The unit provides two pairs of the [AUX OUT] connectors. During mixdown, you
can apply an effect to the desired tracks by connecting an external effect unit to the
[AUX OUT] connectors. For details about how to use the [AUX OUT] connectors, see "Ap-
plication examples" on page 149.
