SONIC EXCITER SX3040
3.2.4 Studio application
In a studio environment the SONIC EXCITER is ideal for
mastering to enhance the sound of recordings. The SX3040
can lend your music the professional polish of high-quality
productions in just a few steps. Even if you primarily work with a
digital audio workstation, you can perform the final mastering
with the SX3040 and an external recorder.
For this application connect the SX3040 before the mastering
recorder. Channels 1 and 2 must have the same settings, as
this application involves stereo processing. Otherwise, the
original stereo image will be distorted.
With the MIX controls you define the portion of the
processed signal that should be mixed with the original
signal separately for the BASS PROCESSOR and
SONIC EXCITER sections.

3.2.5 Stage operation with instrument amplifiers
Besides being ideal for use with stereo signals, the SONIC
EXCITER is also suitable for use with one or two individual
signals, e. g. guitars. With electric guitars it can be used in
combination with a combo amp or a separate modelling
processor-amplifier combination to give the guitar sound more
presence, fullness and punch. A similar combination with a
keyboard and an external amplifier is possible.
Because the two channels of the SX3040 work independently,
even two different mono signals can be processed.
Connect the SX3040 to the effects loop connections on your
combo amplifier. Determine whether the effects loop connections
on your amplifier work in series in Insert mode or in parallel in
Aux Send mode. Then set the MIX controls accordingly (see
sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2). If in doubt, refer to the instruction
manual for your amplifier.
If you are using a modelling processor, you must connect the
processor output to the SX3040 input and route the SX3040
signal to the amplifier.
