  • Crazyduss,

    You would want to connect the AFS224 to the insert point on the 286s using an insert cable (Y-cable with one TRS end, and two TS ends). The send (tip) would connect to the input of the 224, and the return (ring) is going to connect to the output of the 224.

    The filter types are as follows:

    Speech: 1/5 octave
    Music Low: 1/10 octave
    Music Medium: 1/20 octave
    Music High: 1/80 octave

    If you can ring out the monitors before your gig starts, try running the fixed filters at music medium or music high. Then when you switch the 224 to live mode you could use music low or speech. While in live mode, if you happen to have a frequency spike on you, the wider filters will be quicker.

    Hope that helps!
  • Thank you I will try....
