i need effects loop connection help

[maskedman72]

i just took delivery of a soundtracs topaz mixer and i am testing all of its functions to make shure it is fully functional before i shell out the cash for it.


anyhow, all is well except for the aux section for effects. i have an alesis quadraverb and when i hook it up to the aux i can only get the effect on the left side(i am hooking up to the quadraverbs mono input and output jacks). i have a pan pot on the aux's so i know it can be in stereo.

the board only has 1 send and 1 return for each aux.

i tried hooking up the fx to another aux and it is the same story....left side only.

what am i dong wrong?

its going to be something stupid and i am going to feel like a total ass but i am ready for it.

thanks -jay

I seem to recall there is a pan pot on each of the aux returns. Are they panned hard left?

there are pan pots and they are in the center.

could the problem be that i need to have a trs cables hooking up the unit to the aux? right now i am using a mono ts cable.

the board only has one jack for return and a pan pot so there has got to be a way.

Nor enough data to work from via "remote control"...sorry!

IIRC, Harvey Gerst over at prosound web has a soundtracs in one of his control rooms. Maybe he can help you. Good luck!

i can only get a stereo signal if i dont push the cord all the way in. i tried a trs cable and it was still only in the left side,but pull it out 1 click and it puts it in both left and right sides.

how can i get it in both sides with the cord all the way in?

i am waiting for a reply from harvey at prosound web.

i just need to make a purchase desicision soon. the clock is ticking for me.
