Main Aux Returns (A1-A4); B" Aux Returns - Mackie SR40.8 Owner's Manual

MAIN AUX RETURNS (A1–A4)
Point Before: Balanced or unbalanced line-
level cable with
(tip = hot, ring = cold, sleeve = shield).
Point After: MAIN AUX RETURNS (A1–A4)
The left jack's signal is normalled to the right
jack — a mono signal, patched into the left jack
only, appears on the left and right sides.
Since the MAIN AUX RETURNS (A1–A4) are
actually stereo channels with full routing and
EQ, patch in the outputs of your essential
effects devices (or any line-level signals) here.
These signals can be sent to any mix, including
the AUX SEND MASTERS
ideal for sending effects to the stage monitors.
Similarly, essential mono effects outputs (one
cable) should be patched into a mono Channel.

"B" AUX RETURNS

Point Before: Balanced or unbalanced line-
level cable with
(tip = hot, ring = cold, sleeve = shield).
Point After: "B" AUX RETURNS
.
The left jack's signal is normalled to the right
jack — a mono signal, patched into the left jack
only, will appear on the left and right sides.
Since AUX RETURNS B1, B2 and B3 can be
assigned only to the LEFT/RIGHT mix, and B4
only to the CENTER mix, patch the outputs of ef-
fects devices (or any line-level signals) that need
to go only to these destinations. If you need full
routing but you've already used all four of the
MAIN AUX RETURNS (A1–A4), you can also
patch into two Channels, panning one left and
the other right.
