Connection and Operation

Chaper 3

3-1 Mixer Connection

1

Connect the SEND connectors (channels 1 to 4) to the line inputs of
the reverberator or stereo effect unit.

2

Connect the return signal from the reverberator or stereo effet unit to
the RETURN connectors (channels 1 to 4).

Each input signal can be routed to the SEND buses by pressing the
auxiliary send select switch [1-2, 3-4] of the input module, and its level
can be adjusted with the SENDS 1/3 and 2/4 controls (for mono inputs) or
the SEND LEVEL and SEND BAL controls (for stereo inputs).  The
overall send bus signals, which are the collective send signals fed from
each input, are adjusted with the SEND MASTERS controls.

3-1-3 Connecting Audio Monitor Systems

The MXP-310 is provided with phono-type monitor output connectors
(channels 1 and 2). Connect the line inputs (or auxiliary inputs) of the
amplifiers to the MXP-310 MONI OUT connectors.
When using a talkback speaker, connect an amplifier to the TB connector
to drive the speaker. When using a PFL (pre-fader signal listening)
speaker, connect an amplifier to the PFL connector to drive the speaker.
