To connect external effects processors to the Soundcraft EFX8 mixer, follow these steps:
1. Identify the AUX send outputs on the EFX8 mixer. These are typically labeled as AUX SEND or FX SEND on each channel strip.
2. Use a balanced TRS cable to connect the AUX send output of the desired channel to the input of your external effects processor. The input on the effects processor may be labeled as INPUT, RETURN, or similar.
3. Connect the output of the external effects processor to a free channel on the EFX8 mixer. Use another balanced TRS cable to connect the output of the effects processor to the desired channel's line input. The line input on the EFX8 mixer may be labeled as LINE IN or similar.
4. Adjust the AUX send level on the channel you connected to the effects processor. This will determine the amount of signal sent to the effects processor. Start with the AUX send level at the minimum and gradually increase it until you achieve the desired effect.
5. Adjust the level of the effects return channel on the EFX8 mixer. This will control the volume of the processed signal coming back into the mixer. Use the channel fader or the dedicated effects return level control to adjust the level.
6. Finally, adjust the effects processor settings to achieve the desired effect. Refer to the user manual of your external effects processor for specific instructions on setting up and adjusting the effects.
By following these steps, you will be able to connect and use external effects processors with the Soundcraft EFX8 mixer, allowing you to enhance your audio with additional effects and processing capabilities. For more detailed instructions and illustrations, please refer to the user guide provided with the mixer.
