1)
Mix In
Designed exclusively to link another
442, 302, MixPre, or MP-2 to the 442
for additional inputs. Signal is sent
directly to the Output Stereo bus.
Pin-1 = Ground, pin-2 = Left, pin-3 =
Right. Shell of TA3 connector must be
grounded to pin-1 to open connection.
2)
Mono Mic Out
Unbalanced mono mic-level output on
1/8-inch female connector, designed to
connect to wireless IFB transmitters or
transcription recorders. Tip = Hot, sleeve
= Ground.
3)
Tape Output(s) / Mix Out
Unbalanced stereo outputs on 3.5 mm
and TA3-type connectors. TA3, pin-1 =
Ground, pin-2 = Left, pin-3 = Right. 1/8-
inch, sleeve = Ground, tip = Left, ring =
Right. Connect to the Mix In of another
442 for additional channels.
4)
Hirose Multi-Pin Output (Return A)
Multi-pin connector includes second
master output (on separate winding
from XLR outputs) and unbalanced
stereo Return A. See Block Diagram for
pin confi guration
5)
XLR Master Outputs
Transformer-balanced ouputs. Pin-1 =
Ground; pin-2 = Hot (+); pin 3 = Cold
(-). Unbalance by grounding pin-3 to
pin-1 of the XLR connector.
6)
Battery Compartment
Holds four AA batteries required for
internal powering. Accepts Alkaline,
Lithium, or NiHM rechargeable cells.
7)
Headphone Outputs
1/4-inch and 3.5 mm stereo connectors,
drive headphones from 8-2000 ohm
impedances to required monitoring
levels.
8)
Return B Inputs
Unbalanced stereo TA3-type or 3.5 mm
input connectors for Return B audio.
TA3: pin-1 = Ground, pin-2 = Left, pin-3
= Right. 1/8-inch: sleeve = Ground, tip
= Left, ring = Right.
9)
Multi-Pin Hirose Output Level
Selects output level for the Hirose Multi-
Pin Output to Mic, Tape, or Line Level.
10)
Left XLR Output Level
Sets the nominal output level for the
Left XLR Master Output to Mic, Tape
(-10), or Line levels.
11)
TA3M-type Master Outputs
Mic- or Line-level selectable in the Setup
Menu. Pin-1 = Ground, pin-2 = Hot (+),
pin-3 = Cold (-), fl oat pin-3 to unbalance.
12)
Left XLR Output Level
Sets the nominal output level for the
Right XLR Master Output to Mic, Tape
(-10), or Line levels.
13)
DC Input
Accepts DC voltages from 5–18 V for
mixer powering. 4-pin Hirose connector
is wired pin-1 negative (–), pin-4 =
positive (+). Ext DC is completely
isolated (fl oating) from the rest of the
circuitry. Early 442 models (s/n < 0303)
use coaxial DC power connectors. Tip =
(+) and sleeve = (–).
