Mixing a 2-track with the Stereo Mix
You can mix the 2T IN with the input faders using the Hard Disk
Mode. To do this follow these simple steps.
•
Connect the 2-track device to the 2T IN input connec-
tors and any mic or line inputs to channels 1-8.
•
In this mode the C/ROOM+PHONES control will
act as your master volume, so for now, turn that
all the way down.
•
Connect the CR LEFT and RIGHT outputs to
your power amp or powered speakers.
•
Press the HDM switch in the master section so
that the yellow LED is illuminated.
•
Now raise the C/ROOM+PHONES level control up to a
bit under 5.
•
Raise the MASTER FADERS to “O” so you can hear
the mix from the input channels 1 – 8.
•
Now, raise the channel faders and 2T to RETURN level control until you have the mix you want.
•
Adjust the C/ROOM+PHONES level control to set the desired final level.
2T TO RETURN
The 2-Track to Return control is used to adjust the
amount of signal that is sent from the 2T IN jacks to the
main L/R Mix bus. For more information see the follow-
ing section "Mixing a 2-track with the Stereo MIX".
HDM
The HDM switch enables the HARD DISK MODE and
is used to interface with a computer based, hard disk
recorder. When turned on, the channel RECORD
switches are activated for special bussing and monitor-
ing features. For more information on using HDM, see
the section "Using the HDM" on page 14 of this manual.

Controls and Functions
2 TRACK INPUT AND OUTPUT
The MDR6’s 2 Track section provides the connections for playback and recording for an external device
such as a DAT, cassette recorder, CD or Mini Disk. The signal from a device connected to the 2T IN is
heard only in the CONTROL ROOM and HEADPHONE outputs.
MASTER SECTION
Auxiliary Return
The MDR6 has a stereo auxiliary return, which can be accessed via the pair of 1/4-inch phone jacks located on
the top panel. The Auxiliary Return can be used to connect any stereo line level signal, but they are primarily
used to connect the output of external effects processors.
AUX RET
This adjusts the amount of signal that is coming from the AUX RET jacks to the MAIN bus.
