Getting Connected

This section shows how to connect the RFX-2000 to the sound source and to the playback system.
Insert Connection
Rhythm machine, synthesizer, or similar
Microphone
Guitar
This is an example for inserting the RFX-2000 between the
sound source such as a microphone or instrument and a
playback system or multi-track recorder (MTR). A stereo
source should be connected to the INPUT L/MONO and R
jacks. A mono source should be connected to the L/MONO
jack only.
Send/Return Connection
INPUT
L/MONO
This is an example for connecting the RFX-2000 to the
send/return jacks of a mixer or multi-track recorder. Connect
the send jack of the mixer or MTR to the INPUT L/MONO
jack of the RFX-2000, and connect the OUTPUT L/R jacks of
the RFX-2000 to the return jacks (or the stereo line input
jacks) of the mixer or MTR.

In this configuration, the MIX control of the RFX-2000 should
be set so that it outputs only the effect sound, and the balance
between original sound and effect sound should be adjusted at
the mixer or multi-track recorder. If the mixer or multi-track
recorder has a stereo send output, supplying the send signal to
the RFX-2000 in stereo is also possible.
