INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The MX-1 allows you two types of output connectors Balanced XLR (25) and Unbalanced RCA (32, 33, and
34). Use these connection to connect the output signal from a mixer, cross-over or EQ to your MX-1 mixer. A
balanced connection is recommended for cable runs longer that 10ft. When constructing your own XLR cables
follow the pin confi guration describe below for proper connections. For cable runs shorter than 10Ft. you may
choose the RCA unbalanced output option. The unbalanced output option may be more convenient for most
users due to the abundant supply of prefabricated cables on the market.
All the input options on the mixer are unbalanced RCA's. For best results do not use cable run longer than 10ft
for any incoming audio source, longer cable runs will result in inferior sound quality.

changed by the Voltage Selector (24) on the rear of the unit.
• Be sure the power switch is in the OFF position before making any type of connections to the mixer. Also

• You can connect up to 3 turntables using the Phono 1 (41), Phono 2 (38), or Phono 3 (36) RCA jacks on
the rear panel. The mixer will only accept turntable level signal if Line Level Switches (39) are in the
"PHONO" position.
• Connect your tape recorder, tuner, sound effects, CD player, and cassette decks etc. to the RCA Line
Level Input Jacks (35, 37, and 40) on the rear panel. CD players, cassette decks and other line level
