G> MONitor OUTPUTs
These 1 /4" Phone and RCA phone jacks provide
stereo output signals from the MONitor
SE LECT SW ITCH RACK.
0 PHONES Level Cqntrol
This determines the final signal level available to
the headphone amplifier. The signal is derived
before the MON ITOR LEVE L control, but is
otherwise the same.
Ill Headphone Output Jack
This is located on the front of the mixer below
the arm rest. This circuit is designed to be used
with
8
ohm stereophones.

this connector, don't use them
( 1 /4"
phone 2-connector)
( 1 /4" phone 3-connector)
Your headphone connector must have 3 sections
to be safe. While accidents do happen, and pro·
tection circuits have been built in, use of mono/
2 wire headphones will eventually cause circuit
failure (2 to 3 minutes). Using the 2 wire con·
nectar shorts out one of the amplifiers driving
the headphones, which will cause it to burn out.
f)
EXTernal INputs
These RCA phone jacks are provided on the rear
panel so that any stereo input such as an addi·
tiona! submix, a half-track master recorder or
cassette machine can be connected and can be
switched in and out of monitor system, using
the EXT 1 and 2 MONitor Select Switches.

SOLO Level Control and Indicator
The SOLO BUSS receives signal from the channel
PF L switches, from the program AF L switches
and E FFECT RTN P F L switches. The LEVE L
control al lows the signal to be adjusted to the
desired level. Below the control is the SOLO
indicator. This large,
red
lamp lights whenever
any P F L or A F L switch is pressed. This indi·
cates; 1) A signal is present in the buss, and,
2) The MONITOR and HEADPHONE circuits
are switched from their normal signal, as deter·
mined by
the
MONitor switch, and are receiv ing,
instead, signal from the SOLO circuit. This one·
switch, automatic switching logic, allows fast,
easy changes in the monitor signal and is very
useful during complex mixing sessions.
II EXT SOLO
This 1 /4" Stereo Phone jack provides external
access to
the
SOLO Buss and the Solo Control
signal line. This connector when combined with
the SOLO OUTPUT jack of another 300 series
mixer allows the two SOLO systems to be
combined.
This is a valuable tool when assembling various
pieces of equipment for studio production work.
For this, connect the first mixer's SOLO OUT·
PUT and EXT SOLO to the second mixer's EXT
SOLO.
•soLO OUTPUT Jack
This RCA Phone connector prov ides a SOLO
Buss output from the mixer. It is essential when
two mixers are to be cascaded, patched together
to work as one larger mixer.
