MAKING CONNECTIONS
Channel Inputs
1. XLR Jacks
These jacks accept XLR inputs for
balanced signals. They can be used
in conjunction with microphones such
as professional condenser, dynamic
or ribbon microphones - with standard
XLR male connectors. With low noise
preamplifiers, these inputs serve for
crystal clear sound replication.
NB.
When using an unbalanced microphone,
please ensure phantom power is switched off.
However, when using condenser microphones
the phantom power should be activated.
2. Line In Jacks
These inputs accept 1/4” TRS and 1/4”
TS line inputs for the addition of various
music instruments – such as keyboards,
drum machines, electric guitars, as well
as a variety of other electric instruments.
3. INS (External Device Insert Jack)
The primary use for these TRS phone jacks is for the addition of
external devices, such as dynamic processors or equalizers, to
the corresponding mono input channel. This will require a Y cord
that can send and receive signals of the mixer to and from an
external processor.
4. Stereo Channel Inputs
The AM 844D features 4 stereo input channels (channels 9
through to 16), the inputs of which differ slightly to the mono
channels. The 3-pin XLR inputs on the first two stereo inputs
are for the addition of microphones with typical XLR male inputs,
where the Line 1/4” TRS jacks are for the addition of various
stereo line level input devices, such as keyboards. If you wish
to use a monaural device on a stereo return input, simply plug
the device’s 1/4” phone jack into the left (mono) stereo input and
leave the right input bare. The signal will be duplicated to the
right due to the miracle of jack normalizing.

MASTER SECTION
5. 2T Return
These inputs accommodate RCA connectors from such devices
as tape and CD players, PCs and other sources. The level of this
input can just adjusted using the 2T Return control on the face
of the Mixer.
6. Record Outputs
As with the 2T Inputs, these outputs will accommodate RCA
connectors, able to be fed to a variety of recording devices.
7. Phones Outputs
These output ports are suited for
use with headphones or headphone
amplifiers, allowing monitoring of the
mix. The audio level of this output is
controlled using the Control Room
/ Phones control on the front panel’s
master section.
8. 12V Lamp
This BNC socket allows you to attach
a 12 Volt gooseneck lamp, allowing
better visibility in areas with poor light.
REAR PANEL
9. Direct Outs
These connections are for the direct output of the signals
received by mono channels 1 through to 8, post-fader, post-EQ,
post-HPF, post-mute. They are most commonly used to connect
Multi-track recorders and they can be also used to connect your
multichannel audio to your DAW, AM 844D can also be used as
an 8-track studio mixer.
