USING AN EXTERNAL EFFECT

If you prefer to use an external device for effects processing, you

can easily connect the unit using the MDR16 EFX bus disconnect-

ing the internal DSP. Follow the simple steps below to interface

your processor:

Connect the AUX 2 OUTPUT to the input of the external effect

processor.

Connect the outputs of the effect processor to the Aux

RETURN 2 located on the MDR16's top panel.

Set the L/R mix faders to the "0" position.

Raise the AUX 2/DSP knobs for the channels to which you

want the external effect to be applied.

Set the input level of the external effect so that the sound is

not distorted and so that the effect's input meter does not

indicate a clipped signal.

Use the Aux RETURN 2 control to adjust the level of the

effects processed by the external effects device.
