Main Mix
The Main Mix jacks (6) on the top panel are 1/4"
TRS unbalanced, with tip high, and ring and sleeve
tied to ground. The nominal level is +4dBu. These
two jacks carry the L/R Main Mix, for connection to
your master 2-Track recorder’s inputs, for instance.
The same Main L/R Mix is also available, fully bal-
anced, at the two XLR connectors on the back panel.
MIX-B Output
The MIX-B jacks (7) are 1/4" TRS unbalanced,
with tip high, ring and sleeve tied together as ground,
nominal level +4dBu. These jacks make the MIX-B
signal available for external patching.
Phones
The two Phones jacks (8) are 1/4" TRS stereo,
with tip connected to left, ring to right and sleeve to
ground. The final output of Phones 1 and Phones 2
appear here. These jacks may be connected to exter-
nal power amplifiers for headphone distribution, or
you may plug your phones directly into the jacks.
There is plenty of level. In fact, you should turn the
PHONES level
down
before you plug your phones in,
and then bring the level up to where you want it.
Studio Output
The two Studio Output jacks (9) carry the signal
for the Studio speakers. They are 1/4" unbalanced,
wired tip high, ring and sleeve ground, nominal level
+4dBu. This is where you connect the inputs to your
studio monitor amplifier.
Alternatively, the Studio Output jacks can be
wired to a second Control Room amplifier and set of
speakers. Then, to switch between the two sets, turn
the CNTRL-RM level control fully
down
and turn
up
the STUDIO level control — or vice versa. This con-
cept is very handy during mixdown. It won’t work
very well if you plan to use any of the talkback
switches, as you would during tracking/overdubbing.
2-Track Input and External Input
The 2-Track Input (10) and External Input (11)
are 1/4" TRS unbalanced jacks, with tip wired to high
and ring and sleeve tied together to ground. These
inputs offer you the ability to listen to two mono or
stereo sources directly, without patching through in-
put channels. Either input can be connected to any
stereo source you’d like to listen to. Usually, you will
have the 2-Track Input connected to the output of
your 2-Track master recorder, to check the mix.
The inputs are directly wired to the “2-TK” and
“EXTERNAL” source selection switches in the
Phones 1 and 2 and MONITOR sections of the
Output Panel. These are +4 dBu inputs.
