Owner’s Manual
The Mono mix output is most commonly used for one of two purposes:
• As a subwoofer feed; the Fat Channel EQ for the Mono output in
the UC Surface software includes a lowpass filter that is used in this
application. For more information,
see Chapter 4.6, “The Fat Channel,”
in the StudioLive AI Software Library Reference Manual
.
• As a center channel output
Power User Tip:
The Mono output is particularly useful when your RM-series mixer is set
to true LCR mixing (Global Settings>Device Settings>System>Pan Mode is set to LCR). But
when LCR panning is not needed, and the mixer Pan Mode is set to LR, signals still can be
sent to the Mono mix to use the Mono output as a discrete center-channel speaker feed.
Rear Panel DB25 Connector Pinout
The aux mixes are mirrored in analog format on the rear-panel DB25 connectors.
Power User Tip:
When connecting the mixer to transmitters for wireless
in-ear monitors located in the same rack, it is cleaner to cable from the
DB25 connectors directly to transmitter connections in the rear of the rack,
rather than running XLR cables or a snake from the front of the mixer.
Balanced DB25 fan-out snakes (breakout cables) can be obtained in various
configurations at most recording and live-sound retailers. Common fan-
out configurations are DB25-to-(8) XLR-M and DB25-to-(8) ¼-inch TRS.
The DB25 jacks are impedance balanced and rated +18 dBu maximum output
level. The DB25 connectors are wired according to the convention Tascam
established on its DA88 recorder, since adopted as the AES59 standard.
