Page 3: Basic Setup
Basic Setup Figure 1 illustrates the basic AuxPander setup. The AuxPander connects to the mixing console insert points. Any processors that were connected to the mixing con- sole inserts are moved to the AuxPander INSERT jacks. The mixing console receives the same signal as in the original setup, including the processed signal from the mono and stereo processors. - Page 4 Figure 2 shows signal from the AuxPander Channel 1 input (IN/OUT 1) routed to each stereo output. To add signal from the Channel 2 input (IN/OUT 2) to the STEREO A outputs, use the LEVEL control in the same row (STEREO A / OUTS 1–2) in the second column (2) .
- Page 5 AuxPander IN/OUT jack First “click” Direct Inputs The DIRECT INPUT jacks on the back of the AuxPander feed signal directly to the outputs, bypassing the mix bus. (See Callout H in the next section.) Daisy Chain Connection for Mono Monitoring Use this method to add a signal to four mono outputs.
- Page 6 This method sends a single line input (such as a click track or mixing console submix) to the left channel of each PSM transmitter and a personalized mix (from the AuxPander stereo bus) to the right channel. Each performer uses the ...

Tip Assign Switch This switch makes the AuxPander compatible with all mixing consoles. It reverses the function of the tip and ring con- tacts of the IN/OUT jack. NOTE: Change the position of this switch if, after connecting the AuxPander to the mixing console inserts, the signal does not return to the console. -
Page 9: Output Jacks
Direct inputs also allow you to expand the number of input channels while keeping the same number of mixed outputs. For example, connecting the outputs of one AuxPander to the direct inputs of another AuxPander creates a 16 X 8 matrix. -
Page 10: Appendix I: Applications
Headphones are often an essential part of the studio recording environment. They are used for foldback or cueing purposes and for performers to hear each other. The AuxPander’s eight outputs allow for a great degree of mix custo- mization in the studio. - Page 11 Hardwired PSM System Wireless PSM Systems...

MDMs. Do not fear, AuxPander is here. Portable, yet flexible, the AuxPander is the perfect front-end for MDMs. With its eight- output architecture, it easily connects to stereo, four-track, or eight-track MDMs. And since it connects to the prefader inserts of the mixing console, you can balance and fade a custom mix for an MDM without affecting the house mix and without the confusing network of reconnecting patch cables. - Page 13 Multitrack Monitoring Use the AuxPander IN/OUT jacks to insert it between the eight outputs of an MDM and the line inputs of another mix- ing console. You can mix the outputs to four individual stereo cue mixes without interrupting the signal flow to the mixing console.
- Page 14 Create these stereo auxiliary sends using the AuxPander. Performers can use the signal at the input of their devices, mix them to the stereo outputs of the AuxPander, and send them to the effect processor. Mixing Console...

Page 15: Installations
Often, the limited number of outputs on a mixing console does not meet the high demands of installed sound systems. The AuxPander adds eight channels, mixed into any combination of stereo or mono outputs, to cover all of the loca- tions (or zones) in your installation. - Page 16 Any device with a line-level input and output can be “inserted.” For example, a compressor might be inserted on a vocal microphone or a gate might be inserted on the snare drum channel. Likewise, the AuxPander is inserted on the inputs of a mixing console. First Things First:...
- Page 17 Some mixers use a knob instead of a sliding control. This fader does not affect the signal at the insert point. In fact, that is the reason the AuxPander connects to the insert point—so that you do not have to worry about the rest of the mixing console settings affecting the mix of the AuxPand- er outputs.
