About the MX500
abouT The mX500
The MX500 is an extremely versatile effects processor; in fact it can operate like three
different processors. When using the MX500, it is recommended that you decide what
type of processor you need it to operate as (Surround, Stereo, or Dual Stereo proces-
sor), make the proper cable connections, and select the Configuration that coincides
with your setup. Each Configuration has its own bank of factory and user programs
that are designed to work best with the recommended audio connections for each
Configuration (see Connecting the MX500). Since the MX500 offers multiple processor
configurations, the following section is a guide to help select which Configuration is
best for your needs.
ConneCTIng The mX500
The MX500 has four 1/4" inputs and four 1/4" outputs grouped in pairs A - Front
(Stereo) and B - Rear. There are also two S/PDIF input/output connectors (A and B)
that are the digital equivalent of these analog input and output pairs.
Surround confIguratIon connectIonS
This configuration can load a single effect from either the User bank or the Factory
bank. Each bank contains 25 presets that work with this configuration.
The MX500 is the first processor in its class to provide true surround reverb processing.
The surround reverb algorithm always uses both output pairs A and B (analog and
S/PDIF) and can accept stereo input signals via Input Pair A (analog or S/PDIF) or
true 4-channel input sources via input pair A and B (analog or S/PDIF). Input/output
pair A is for use with the front stereo speakers in your surround system, while input/
output pair B is for use with the rear left and right speakers. The S/PDIF outputs A and
B always mirror analog outputs A and B but input pairs A and B can only be analog or
digital (selectable in the MX500's System menu).
