Mackie Stereo Inputs and Returns: Mono,

Stereo, Whatever

Stereo line inputs and stereo returns are a ﬁne

example of the Mackie philosophy (which we just made

up) of Maximum Flexibility with Minimum Headache.

The inputs and returns will automatically be mono or

stereo, depending upon how you use the jacks. Here’s

how it works:

A mono signal should be patched into the input or

return jack labeled Left (MONO). The signal will be

routed to both the left and right sides of the return

circuit, and will show up in the center of the stereo pair

of buses it’s assigned to, or it can be panned with the

PAN control.

A stereo signal, having two plugs, should be patched

into the LEFT (MONO) and the RIGHT input or return

jacks. A jack switch in the RIGHT jack will disable the

mono function, and the signals will show up in stereo.

A mono signal connected to the RIGHT jack will show

up in the right bus only. You probably will only want to

use this sophisticated effect for special occasions.

Mults and “Y”s

A mult or “Y” connector allows you to route one output

to two or more inputs by simply providing parallel wir-

ing connections. You can make “Y”s and mults for the

outputs of both unbalanced and balanced circuits.

Remember: Only mult or “Y” one output into

several inputs. If you need to combine several

outputs into one input, you must use a mixer,

not a mult or a “Y.”
