It will depend on the switching method that the manufature uses on the sidechain jacks. If you have a XLR labeled "sidechain in", then you must press some button on the unit which will disengage the side chan input from the normal input and apply it to the "sidechain in" jack.

With this method if you want to create a "desser" by placing a EQ into the side chain, you will have to "mult" your input signal between the compressor input and the sidechain input and then activaate the "sidechain in" button. With the sidechain insert method, you just insert the EQ into the sidechain.

It's really a matter of taste up to the designer.
