Behringer Sonic Exciter SX3040 Manuel D’Utilisation

SONIC EXCITER SX3040 User Manual

3.2.4  Studio application
In a studio environment the SONIC EXCITER is ideal for mastering to enhance the 

sound of recordings. The SX3040 can lend your music the professional polish of 

high-quality productions in just a few steps. Even if you primarily work with a 

digital audio workstation, you can perform the final mastering with the SX3040 

and an external recorder. 
For this application connect the SX3040 before the mastering recorder. 

Channels 1 and 2 must have the same settings, as this application involves stereo 

processing. Otherwise, the original stereo image will be distorted.

3.2.5  Stage operation with instrument amplifiers
Besides being ideal for use with stereo signals, the SONIC EXCITER is also suitable 

for use with one or two individual signals, e. g. guitars. With electric guitars it can 

be used in combination with a combo amp or a separate modelling processor-

amplifier combination to give the guitar sound more presence, fullness and 

punch. A similar combination with a keyboard and an external amplifier 

is possible.
Because the two channels of the SX3040 work independently, even two different 

mono signals can be processed. 
Connect the SX3040 to the effects loop connections on your combo amplifier. 

Determine whether the effects loop connections on your amplifier work in 

series in Insert mode or in parallel in Aux Send mode. Then set the MIX controls 

accordingly (see sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2). If in doubt, refer to the instruction 

manual for your amplifier. 
If you are using a modelling processor, you must connect the processor output to 

the SX3040 input and route the SX3040 signal to the amplifier.
