ADDING EFFECTS
The LOOP jack on each channel works like an "insert" connection on a mixing console. The LOOP jack is
a TRS type that can send the signal out to a processor and return it to the ProD8 signal path. Connect the
input and output of an effects processor to the LOOP jack using an "insert cable" which may be purchased
at a music retailer.
Each channel is fi tted with an internal EFX PRE/POST switch. The position of this switch determines if the
THRU output will be PRE or POST the effects-loop. When the switch is set to PRE, the THRU output will
be unaffected by the effects-loop. When the switch is set to POST, the effect processor will be heard at the
THRU output. The XLR output is always POST effects-loop. The ProD8 ships factory set to post effects-
loop so a processor in the loop will be heard on all outputs.
STEREO EFFECTS
When two of the ProD8 channels are
confi gured for a stereo keyboard, con-
nect the LOOP jacks on both channels
to the left and right inputs/outputs of a
stereo effect processor with two insert
cables. If the dual A/B inputs on a ProD8
channel are used to connect two stereo
keyboards the effects processor is
shared between them.
MONO EFFECTS
When one ProD8 channel is confi gured
for a mono keyboard connect the LOOP
jack to the input and output of the effects
processor with one insert cable. If the
dual A/B inputs on a ProD8 channel are
used to connect two mono keyboards
the effects processor is shared between
them. This can save mixer channels and
money. This also lets you share effects
when running redundant modules for
backup.
