    first (sigh!). So the first section after this introduction is a Quick-Start Guide called “Getting Started” to help you get the HMX-56 set up fast so you can start using it right away. Right after that are the ever popular hook-up diagrams that show typical setups for live sound and recording.
  • Page 5: Getting Started

    LEFT and RIGHT EFFECTS RETURNS on the rear of the HMX-56. If the effects return is a mono signal, use a “Y” cord to connect the signal to both the left and right return jacks.

    ���������� ���� ����� ���� ��� ����� ���� ��� ��� This illustrates using the HMX-56 as a live monitor mixer. Three of the Phones outputs are routed to In-Ear Monitor (IEM) systems, and three are routed to amplifiers powering monitor wedges.
  • Page 7 Four aux sends from the 1640 provide four separate mono headphone mixes to the HMX-56. The Phones output from the 1640 is connected to the Main Inputs on the HMX-56, allowing the talent to listen to the same mix as the engineer in the control room (i.e., stereo return from the DAW for overdubbing), along with their own individual headphone mix (tracking).
