PATCH SECTION
19. INSERT INPUT/OUTPUT LEFT and RIGHT: 1/4” jacks to connect
external processing device, such as compressor or equalizer to
MATRIX-200. Each 1/4” jack has input and output; one jack for Left
channel and one jack for Right channel. SLEEVE on 1/4” jack is connect-
ed to the ground. RING must be connected to the input of external
device, and TIP must be connected to the output of external device. Please
refer to the diagram labeled “Y-Cable Setup” on Page 7 of this manual
for a graphic depiction of this.
NOTE: Different processors may have a different configuration than the
MATRIX-200 on their connectors. Please review the manual information
of the external processor before assuming it is the same as the
MATRIX-200. If the external processor uses a different connection
standard, then you will likely need to buy adaptors to properly connect
the two units together.
NOTE: Do not insert Mono 1/4” jacks into insert jacks.

manual for a graphic depiction of this.
NOTE: Dif
fer
ent pr
ocessors may have a dif
fer
ent configuration than the
MATRIX-200 on their connectors. Please review the instruction manual
infor
mation of the exter
nal pr
ocessor befor
e assuming it is the same as
the MATRIX-200. If the external processor uses a different connection
