[. . . ] SEND is "post-fader, " which means that the amount of signal you send to the external processor will be affected by the VOLUME setting for the channel. SIGNAL/CLIP LED When normal signal levels are detected, this LED glows green. To minimize distortion, turn down your input source if the LED flashes RED (clip). [. . . ] To minimize distortion, turn down your input source if the LED flashes RED (clip). MIC/LINE For the first channel, switch between a MICROPHONE input or the LINE inputs on the rear of the unit. EFFECTS RETURN Adjust the amount of signal sent back to the mixer from an external effects processor. 8 STEREO OR 16 MONO LINE INPUTS Plug stereo sources into both the top (LEFT) and bottom (RIGHT) jacks. Doing this will "normal" the signal to both LEFT and RIGHT inputs. The MultiMix8Line provides a wide gain range suitable for simultaneous use of both -10dbV (consumerlevel) and +4dBu (professional-level) equipment. OPTIONAL MICROPHONE INPUT ON CHANNEL 1 Select MIC or LINE for channel 1 using the switch on the front panel. Note that a microphone must be connected to the XLR (3-pin) input and is always treated as a mono signal. The AUX SEND levels from both mixers will now be routed to the effects processor. Control the overall effect level using the EFFECTS RETURN knob on the front of the second mixer. STEREO EFFECTS SEND and RETURN Connect a reverberation unit (such as the Alesis MidiVerb4) or other effects processor to these jacks in order to add effects to your mix. If you are using a mono effects processor, connect only the LEFT (MONO) jacks of the MultiMix8Line. Using the LEFT (MONO) jack only, the effects return will be heard through both LEFT and RIGHT output channels. Once your effects processor is connected, use the AUX SEND knob on each channel to adjust the amount of effect applied to that channel. Consider setting your effects processor to "100% wet" so that it sends only effected signal back to the MultiMix8Line. This will make it easier to dial in just the right effect amount using the channels' AUX SEND knobs and the master EFFECTS RETURN knob.
