Connecting microphones
Mics can be connected to the
MAIN MIC INPUT
(
w
)
jack on the front of the unit or to one of the channel
1–6
C (MONO)
/MIC
(
h
) input jacks on the back of the
unit with the
INPUT LEVEL
(
j
) switch set to
MIC
.
Connecting electronic devices and other
audio equipment
When connecting an electronic device or other audio
equipment, connect it to channel 1–6
C (MONO)
/MIC
(
h
) input jacks, and set the
INPUT LEVEL
switch (
j
)
to
LINE
. The device can be connected to channel 1–6
LINE A
or
B
(
v
) input jacks.
When connected to channel 2–4
LINE A
(
v
) input
jacks, set the
LINE/PHONO
(
k
) input switch to
LINE
.
NOTE
The
C (MONO)
/MIC
(
h
) jacks are mono inputs.
Connecting record players
When connecting a record player, connect it to chan-
nel 2–4
LINE A
(
v
) input jacks, and set the
LINE/PHO-
NO
(
k
) input switch to
PHONO
.
Connect the grounding wire from the record player to
the
|
(GND) (
b
) connector.
Connecting monitor speakers
Connect monitor speakers (powered speakers or an
amplifier and speaker system) to the
MONITOR OUT
(
z
) jacks.
To mix in the mic input signal from the
MAIN MIC IN-
PUT
(
w
) jack, and output it from the monitor speakers,
set the
MONITOR OUT
(
s
) mic mix switch to
WITH
MIC
.
Connecting headphones
Connect headphones to the
PHONES
(
p
) jack (stan-
dard stereo).
You can monitor input channel pre-fader signals and
the signal before it is sent to the stereo output bus.
CAUTION
Before connecting headphones, minimize the vol-
ume with the
PHONES VOLUME
(
i
) knob. Failure
to do so could result in a sudden loud noise that
could harm hearing, for example.
NOTE
Since the headphone sound is output from the
monitoring bus, the position of the
MAIN OUTPUT
VOL
(
8
) knob has no effect on it.
Connecting stereo amplifiers
When connecting a stereo amplifier, connect it to the
MAIN OUTPUTS 1-2 (UNBALANCED)
(
f
) or
MAIN
OUTPUTS 1-2 (BALANCED)
(
c
) jacks.
TIP
i
When connecting 2 or more amplifier and speaker
systems, including main and sub, main and mon-
itoring, or front and rear combinations, using the
MAIN OUTPUTS 1-2 (UNBALANCED)
(
f
),
MAIN
OUTPUTS 1-2 (BALANCED)
(
c
), and
SUB OUT-
PUT
(
x
) jacks could be convenient. Moreover, the
outputs of the jacks are independent and have
their own dedicated output knobs, so you can set
the output levels separately with this unit.
i
By connecting a recorder to
MONITOR OUT
(
z
)
jacks, the signal output to amplifier/speaker sys-
tems can be recorded.
