using a rnc through a yamaha mg12 for vocals

05steve	Date: March 5, 2007 @ 8:28 PM I'm gonna feel stupid asking this one... I plugged in my rnc compressor to channel one line above the xlr for my condensor mic using a "Y" connector with 2 ts phone jackes into one trs phone jack. The back of the rnc I connected the yellow ts jack to the left input and the red to the right output, then the trs to line in on mg12 Through the phones I had audio but no noticable difference in the sound with the rnc active. Could the rnc be dead? As far as I have studied this is the proper way to connect...comments.

imemine	Date: March 6, 2007 @ 10:17 AM I have almost the same setup except the 16 channel. This is how I use the RNC. Here's the mixer manual. www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/pa/english/mixers/mg12_4fxe.pdf Remember, it's a compressor. The effect should be subtle at best!

Have all the manuals and reviewed the connections..also still waiting on a reply from RNC. I know a compressor is subtle but even maxing out the controls changes nothing...I think I'll stop by a large music retailer and have them check it out to be sure..will keep you posted.
05steve	Date: March 11, 2007 @ 11:19 AM Just wanted to let the group know what the outcome was with this post hopefully helping someone else down the road. I took my mixer and the RNC compressor to a qualified sound guy at a large music retailer. He messed with the connections for about 5 minutes and got it working. It was out of phase..yellow and red were backwords...even though red should be right and yellow left. Go figure. The conection was different than suggested by RNC's manual. BTW they the manufacturer never replied to my emails. So I'm good to go. If all else fails seek professional advice
imemine	Date: March 11, 2007 @ 10:02 PM Uuuuu yea! Professional help is always good! I don't do yellow and red so well. All my connections are black. I do however have a concept of signal flow. Glad you got in worked out!
zedsalt	Date: March 12, 2007 @ 10:15 AM To me, the most damning thing is not the wiring mistake; it's the fact that they never answered your emails. Seriously, even if they had no better suggestion than to take it to a qualified pro, they owed you that courtesy.
