4 − Using the mixer 4 Select the input channel for the return signal. Push the INT. EFFECT RTN switch in to send the return signal to channels 15-16. Leave the switch out (do not press it in) to send the return signal to channels 13-14. •• When sending signals to an external effect through AUX 1, turn the PRE switch OFF to send the post fader signal. •• When receiving external effect signals back through channels 13-14, do not set the internal effect return to channels 13-14 (by setting the INT. EFFECT RTN switch to CH 13-14). CAUTION Do not connect anything to the STEREO IN jack when using channels 15-16 for the return signal. Doing so cuts (mutes) the return signal. When connecting an iPod or other device to the STEREO IN jack on channels 15-16, set the INT. EFFECT RTN switch to channels 13-14 (pressed in) to send the return signal to these channels. 5 Turn the ST switch ON for the input channel receiving the return signal, and use its fader to adjust return levels. •• If the AUX 2 bus is used to send signals to an external effect, the AUX 1 bus can still be used for monitoring. •• With M-164 FX and M-164 UF units, by sending AUX 1 to an external effect and AUX 2 to the internal effect, two types of effects can be used. First, connect the input jack of the external effect to the AUX SEND 2 jack first, and connect the external effect output jacks to the L/R input jacks of mixer channels 13-14.

When using AUX 1 for stage or cue monitoring, if you want to monitor the sound with the effect applied, turn the TO AUX 1 switch ON for the input channel receiving the return signal. Using external effects External effects can also be used with this mixer. Channels 1-6, 7-8 and 9-10 can have an external effect applied by sending their signals to the external effect through the AUX 1or AUX 2 bus. The return signal can be input into any other channels as desired. In the following explanation, the signals are sent through the AUX 2 bus to an external effect, and the return signals are received by channels 13-14. When using the AUX 1 bus for monitoring, turn the TO AUX 1 switch for channels 13-14 ON to also monitor the effect return signal. 24 TASCAM M-164/M-164FX/M-164UF
