MX500
Analog Output B
Analog Out B is identical to the Analog Out A description but refers to ana-
log Output Pair B only. Use Knob B to select between Mono Left and
Stereo B - Rear outputs.
Output Level
The MX500 outputs can be optimized to run with equipment requiring
different output levels. High end audio systems run at +4dBu levels while
many inexpensive system levels run at -10dBV levels. Consult the technical
guides that came with the equipment you will be connecting the MX500
to so as determine which output level should be selected. Use Knob C to
change between –10dBV or +4dBu.
Digital Out A/B
The MX500 can send unprocessed digital audio out either of its S/PDIF
Digital Outputs while monitoring processed audio through the analog
outputs. This is useful when you want to record a dry performance digitally,
but also hear effects processing while you are recording. To send unpro-
cessed audio out the MX500 digital outputs, set the Digital Out A and
Digital Out B options to Dry. Turn Knob A to change Digital Out A,
and Knob B to change Digital Out B.
Note: This feature is only available for signals brought into the MX500 via
the analog inputs. It has no effect on signals being received at the S/PDIF
In. Digital in/out signals are processed normally regardless of whether the
Digital Out A/B settings are set to Dry.
Bypass Select
There are four different bypass options for effects and programs (turn
Knob C to select):
Dry – the inputs and outputs of the effects are muted but dry signal
is passed around them.
Mute – The inputs, outputs and dry signal paths are all muted leav-
ing no signal at the outputs.
Input Dry – The inputs to the effects are muted but reverb decay
and delay tails will still finish. Dry signal will also be passed around
the effects.
Input Mute – The inputs and dry paths around the effects are
muted but reverb decay and delay tails will still finish.
