Expansion

Expanding the input and output capacity of the SM 

26B Splitter Mixer is quite easy. Figure 5 shows the 

procedure for splitter mode expansion. The Left and 

Right Input buses are “daisy chained” using the EX-

PAND OUT jacks as shown, and the Outputs are taken 

directly from each SM 26B's MONO OUTS.

Mixer expansion is the reverse procedure and ap‑

pears as Figure 6. Inputs are brought into each of the 

SM 26B’s while their respective LEFT and RIGHT MIX 

OUTPUTS are used to cascade the chain by connect‑

ing to the LEFT and RIGHT INPUTS of the next SM 

26B, and so on.
