SONIC EXCITER SX3040 User Manual

3.2.1  Series cable connection (Insert mode)
The simplest form of series connection consists of a signal chain in which several 

devices are connected in a row, e.g. keyboard  effects unit (SX3040)  

amplifier. An input signal is fed into the effects unit (SX3040) and a mixed signal 

consisting of an input signal and a processed effect signal is sent to an amplifier 

or a recording device (MD recorder, computer etc.) for reproduction.
Another type of series connection can be made by using the Insert point of a 

mixing console or instrument amplifier. In this configuration the signal is sent 

out from the mixer channel via a special Y-lead and a mixed signal (dry and 

effect signals) is routed from the outputs of the effects unit (SX3040) back to the 

mixer channel. 

3.2.2  Parallel cable connection (Aux Send Mode)
Parallel connection can be made via the Aux path of a mixing console. A parallel 

decoupled pure effect signal from the effects unit is mixed with the unmodified 

dry signal via this separate effects bus. Mixing of dry and effect signals occurs on 

the mixing console.

3.2.3  Live sound
The SX3040 is ideally suited for use with live sound systems in clubs, discos, 

live concerts and public performances. Here the unit not only can considerably 

improve the signal quality, but also can compensate for the inadequacies of small 

or weak PA systems. 
For this application the unit is ideally employed between the mixing console mix 

output and the amplifier input. If a graphic equalizer is also used, it should be 

positioned after the SX3040. 
Channels 1 and 2 must have the same setting since this application involves 

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