Operating the MDR10
USING AN EXTERNAL EFFECT
If you prefer to use an external device for effects process-
ing, you can easily connect the unit using the MDR10 EFX
bus disconnecting the internal DSP. Follow the simple
steps below to interface your processor:
1. Connect the AUX 2 OUTPUT to the input of the exter-
nal effect processor.
2. Connect the outputs of the effect processor to the FX
RETURN 2 located on the MDR10’s top panel.
3. Set the L/R mix faders to the "0" position.
4. Raise the AUX 2/DSP knobs for the channels to which
you want the external effect to be applied.
5. Set the input level of the external effect so that the
sound is not distorted and so that the effect’s input
meter does not indicate a clipped signal.
6. Use the FX RETURN 2 control to adjust the level of
the effects processed by the external effects device.
