AUX INPUTS 1-5 RCA jacks

These five stereo AUX Inputs are unbalanced, line level Inputs 

available for selection on all six Input channels.

XP 2016S EXTERNAL PROCESSOR

The XP 2016S port provides the required socket for connecting 

the ribbon cable (supplied with the optional XP 2016S). If an XP 

2016S is not connected, the front panel XP 2016S engage switch 

has no effect. If ribbons longer than that supplied with the XP 

2016S are used, crosstalk may increase and immunity to RF, 

magnetic and conducted interference may be compromised — 

don’t do it.

TAPE OUTPUT – PRE-EFFECTS RCA jacks

This unbalanced line-level Output is located 

before

 the EF-

FECTS LOOP and tone controls for recording the Master Mix. 

MIC Inputs are mixed as any other source and will be present at 

both TAPE OUTPUTS.

TAPE OUTPUT – POST-EFFECTS RCA jacks

This unbalanced line-level Output is located 

after

 the EFFECTS 

LOOP and 

before 

the tone controls. This may be used as an 

Auxiliary Output. For this application, as well as for more flex-

ibility when recording, a LEVEL control has been provided as 

described below.

TAPE OUTPUT – POST-EFFECTS LEVEL control

This adjusts the POST-EFFECTS TAPE OUTPUT from unity 

gain to 

off

, allowing optimum sensitivity adjustment for record-

ing or for an Auxiliary Output.

EFFECTS LOOP SEND ¼" jacks

SEND Outputs are unbalanced standard ¼" tip-sleeve jacks. 

They provide a line level Output for external signal processing or 

effects units. If effects are not being used, these outputs may be 

used as Auxiliary Outputs.

EFFECTS LOOP RETURN ¼" jacks

RETURN Inputs are unbalanced standard ¼" tip-sleeve jacks. 

They provide the Input from external signal processing or effects 

units. Switching jacks are used so there is no loss of signal if the 

front panel EFFECTS LOOP switch is active with no effects 

connected. RETURN Inputs are 

not

 appropriate for Auxiliary 

Inputs as this signal is only selected when the front panel EF-

FECTS LOOP switch is active, at which time Master signal is 

derived 

only 

by the signal present at the RETURN Inputs, the 

mix signals are disconnected.

BOOTH OUTPUT RCA jacks

The unbalanced stereo BOOTH OUTPUT is normally used for 

booth monitoring. As previously outlined, very flexible source 

selection is provided as well as MIC ducking. Remember, the 

BOOTH OUTPUT is attenuated by 12 dB whenever one of the 

front panel MIC ENGAGE switches is active (unless ducking 

has been defeated with the internal jumper. See 

Mic/Line Inputs

 

on page Manual-6).

HOUSE OUTPUT jacks

Both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) jacks are provided. 

For long runs, we highly recommend using the balanced XLR 

outputs. The unbalanced RCA outputs are intended for short 

runs of less than 10 feet (3 meters). Both may be used simultane-

ously if required.
