MAKING CONNECTIONS
Inputs and Outputs
1. XLR Microphone Jacks
These jacks accept typical 3-pin XLR inputs for balanced
and unbalanced signals. They can be used in conjunc-
tion with microphones – such as professional condenser,
dynamic or ribbon microphones - with standard XLR male
connectors, and feature low noise preamplifiers, serv-
ing for crystal clear sound replication. The MU 200XP
features four standard XLR microphone inputs for your
convenience.
NB
. When these inputs are used with condenser microphones, the Phantom
Power should be activated. However, when Phantom Power button is engaged,
single ended (unbalanced) microphones and instruments should not be used on
the Mic inputs.
2. Line Inputs
This input accepts typical 1/4” TRS or TS inputs, for
balanced or unbalanced signals. There are various
numbers of these inputs depending which mixer you are
using. They can be used in conjunction with various line
level devices, such as keyboards, drum machines, electric
guitars, and a variety of other electric instruments.
3. Stereo Channels
The MU 200XP mixer features a couple of stereo
channels, thrown in for maximum flexibility. Each of
these stereo channels features two 1/4” TRS phone
jacks, for the addition of various line level input devices,
such as electronic keyboards, guitars and external signal
processors or mixers. These Stereo Channels can also
be used as Mono channels, where the signal from any
1/4" phone jack plugged into the Left stereo input will
cause the signal to be duplicated to the Right input due
to the miracle of jack normalizing. This does not work in
reverse, however.
4. Stereo AUX Return
These 1/4” TS inputs are for the return of audio to the
MU 200XP mixer, processed by an external signal
processor. If really needed, they can also be used as
additional stereo inputs, with a level control located on the
face of the mixer. The signal received by AUX Return 2 is
routed to the internal effects processor. Furthermore, the
Stereo AUX Return can also accept Mono signals, where
plugging the 1/4" phone jack of any device into the Left
input will cause the signal to be duplicated to the Right
input also. This does not work in reverse, however.
5. AUX / Effects Send
These 1/4” TS outputs may be used to connect to an
external digital effect processor, or even to an amplifier
and speakers (depending on your desired settings), to
the mixer.
6. Main L and R Outputs
These two ports will output the final stereo unbalanced
line level signal sent from the main mixing bus. The
primary purpose of these jacks is to send the main output
to external devices, which may include power amplifiers
(and in-turn, a pair of speakers), other mixers, as well
as a wide range of other possible signal processors
(Equalizers, Crossovers, etcetera).
NB
.
When sending unbalanced signals from this output, a 1/4" TRS stereo plugs
must be used and have the ring-pin disconnected, as to avoid damaging this
mixer.
7. Control Room Outputs
These two 1/4” Phone Jack outputs feed the signal
altered by the CTRL RM / SUBMIX level control on the
face of the mixer. This output has extensive use, as it can
be used to feed the signal from the mixer to an active
monitor, for the monitoring of the audio signal from within
a booth, among other possible uses.
8. Phones
This stereo output port is suited for use with headphones,
allowing monitoring of the mix. The audio level of this
output is controlled using the CTRL RM / SUBMIX level
control.
9. Record Out
These outputs will accommodate RCA cables, able to be
fed to a variety of recording devices. Also included is a
mini stereo jack for the addition of recording devices such
as MD players, and even laptop computers, as well as a
Trim control, allowing users to control the output signal
level, ensuring total control over recording quality.
10. 2T Return
These RCA and mini stereo inputs are used to connect
the mixer with external devices, such as tape and CD
players, or even Laptop computers, receiving a signal
from another source and feeding it to the Main L-R mix-
ing bus.
