EQ Out
This example shows you how to connect the PEQ-450 to one mono
source. You can use this method to connect two mono or stereo
sources to the PEQ-450. You would need up to four insert cables to
make these connections.
Balanced I/O
Some recording consoles have balanced sends and returns for each
channel. If your recording console has these connections, use a
balanced TRS cable to connect the insert send to the
equalizer, and another balanced TRS cable to connect the equalizer
to the insert return.

the mixer, and connect the two mono jacks to the left
of the PEQ-450. Use another insert cable to connect the right

Tip: Use both channels Since the PEQ-450 has two stereo channels,
A and B, you can connect two independent stereo sources. Try
using channel A to EQ the lead vocal, and channel B to EQ the
main output bus. Or use channel A on the kick drum and
channel B for the snare drum.
