Hey folks,

Anyone out there have an outboard compressor hooked up to their 828mkII? Got a Blue Series DBX 160SL Stereo Compressor that I'd like to utilize and was wondering about the NO INSERTS factor.

If a seperate mixer with INSERTS is needed, what might be a good one to consider?

Thanks

The 828mkII does have inserts, in a manner of speaking. Take the Send output and patch it into the compressor. Compressor line outs then go into one of the 828mkII line Ins. Yes, it means you have to give up an analog in, but this should be no problem, especially if you have a patch bay to manage the connections.
