1- MIC INPUT
MX.6FX is equipped with 2 low-noise microphone preamplifiers with
optional phantom power, 60 dB of Gain and 115 dB of S/N ratio. You
can connect almost any type of microphone. Dynamic microphones
do not need phantom power. Use phantom power only with condenser
microphones but make sure that the phantom power button is dis-
engaged before connecting the microphone. Phantom power will not
damage dynamic microphones but it may damage tube or ribbon
microphones so make sure to read the microphone instructions manual
before engaging phantom power. Use switch (24) to activate/deactivate
phantom power. These two channels are also equipped with 1/4" TRS
balanced/unbalanced LINE-IN plugs to connect line-level instruments
such as keyboards, drum machines and effect devices.
NOTE: Never try to connect a line-level signal to the XLR MIC input
when the phantom power is engaged or you may seriously damage
your equipment.
2- STEREO LINE INPUTS
These are channels 3/4, and 5/6. They are organised in stereo pair and
provided with 1/4" TRS phone sockets. If you connect only the left jack,
the input will operate in mono mode, that's mono signal will appear
on both input channels. You can use these inputs with a stereo keyboard, drum machine, etc.
3- TRIM
This control is provided with 2 different indication rings: one is for the MIC and the other for the
LINE input. When you use a Microphone, you shall read the MIC ring (0~60 dB); when you use a
line level instrument, you shall read the LINE ring (+15~-45 dB). For optimum operation, you
shall set this control in a way that the PEAK LED will light up only occasionally in order to avoid
distortion on the input channel.

4- STEREO AUX RETURNS
You can use these stereo 1/4" phone sockets to return the stereo signal of an effect unit to the
Main Mix. Alternatively you can use them as an extra auxiliary input and using the AUX RETURN
level control as volume control. The signal will be sent directly to
MAIN MIX control.
5- AUX SEND
This 1/4" phone socket is used to send out the signal from AUX bus
of the input channels into external devices such as effect units and/or
stage monitors. AUX SEND is wired post-fader to control the signal
of the internal multi-effects unit. You can also connect an external
effect unit. In such case, the internal effect unit will be automatically
disconnected. If you want to wire the AUX circuit as pre-fader, read
Chapter 6. of this Manual. In the pre-fader mode, the AUX bus can
send the signal to a stage monitor.
6- PHONES
This socket will be used to send the signal to a pair of headphones.
7- CTRL ROOM OUTPUT
These 1/4" phone sockets will be used to send the signal to a pair of powered Studio Monitor
speakers or to a second set of PA.

PREFADER AND POSTFADER CONSIDERATIONS
Interesting consideration! Where are the faders in your MX.6FX
Actually a fader is usually regarded as a slider, that is a linear potenti-
ometer. All potentiometers in your
are of rotary type but we
keep the pre-fader/post-fader description that is quite industry
standard and easily understandable. When your
leaves the
Factory, the AUX bus of all input channels is wired post-fader. In this
way, the Aux bus can be used for the internal or external multi-effect.
If you want to use the MX.6FXAux bus for powered stage monitors,
you should disconnect the above-indicated POST route track and
solder the PRE route track like in this drawing. In this way, the signal
is routed to the AUX SENDS output before the Channel Level control.
