CONNECTING TO AN EFFECTS LOOP
You will need audio-instrument cables with 1/4” mono plugs. These are not included with your XP processor and are required for
connecting to an effects loop on a mixer or preamp. Carvin suggests high quality shielded cables for the best possible signal.
Carvin’s SH instrument cables are well suited for this type of installation.
1. Turn off all audio components that are to be connected.
2. Turn all your mixer’s send levels down as well as the input and output levels on the XP.
3. Connect the XP’s inputs to the Send (output) on the mixer or preamp effects loop.
4. Connect the XP’s output(s) to the Return(s) (input) on the mixer or preamp effects loop. Both Left and Right stereo outputs will
need to be used when in Stereo mode.
