RETURN L (MONO), R Jacks
These are unbalanced phone-jack type line inputs. The signal
received by these jacks is sent to the STEREO L/R buses.
These jacks are typically used to receive the signal returned
from an external effect device (reverb, delay, etc.).
These jacks can also be used as an auxiliary stereo
input. If you connect to the L (MONO) jack only, the
mixer will recognize the signal as monaural and will
send the identical signal to both the L and R jacks.
4
SEND EFFECT (AUX) Jack
This is an impedance balanced* phone-jack type output that
outputs the signal from the EFFECT (AUX) bus. You can use
this jack, for example, to connect to an external effect unit.
5
STEREO OUT (L, R) Jacks
These are impedance balanced* phone-jack type outputs that
output the signals adjusted by the STEREO Master control.
You can use these jacks, for example, to connect to the power
amplifier driving your main speakers.
6
MONITOR (L, R) Jacks
These are impedance balanced* phone-jack type outputs that
output the signals adjusted by the MONITOR/PHONES con-
trol. Connect these jacks to your monitor system.
7
PHONES Jack
Connect a pair of headphones to this stereo phone jack. The
PHONES jack outputs the same signal as the MONITOR
OUT jacks.
8
P48 V Switch
This switch toggles phantom power on and off. When the
switch is on the mixer su48V phantom power to all
channels that have XLR mic input jacks (CHs 1–5/6).
Turn this switch on when using one or more phantom-pow-
ered condenser microphones.
When this switch is on the mixer supplies DC +48 V
power to pins 2 and 3 of all XLR-type MIC INPUT
jacks.
9
RETURN Control
Adjusts the level at which the signal received at the
RETURN jacks (L (MONO) and R) is sent to the STEREO
L/R bus.
If you supply a signal to the RETURN L (MONO)
jack only, the mixer sends the same signal to both the
L and R Stereo buses.
0
POWER Indicator
This indicator lights when the mixer’s power is ON.
A
Level Meter
This LED meter displays the level of the signal sent to the
MONITOR jacks and the PHONES jack. The “0” segment
corresponds to the nominal output level. The PEAK segment
lights red when the output reaches the clipping level.
B
2TR IN
• 2TR IN Switch
If it is set to TO STEREO (
), the signals are sent to the
STEREO L/R buses. If this switch is set to TO MONITOR
(
), the signals input via the 2TR IN jacks are sent to the
MONITOR OUT jacks, the PHONES jack, and the level
meter. The MONITOR MIX feature becomes available when
it is set to TO MONITOR (
).
*
: When overdubbing, you can adjust the levels
of the monitor playback signal and the signal
being recorded separately.
MONITOR MIX Signal Flow
• 2TR IN control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the 2TR IN jacks to
the STEREO L/R buses.
C
MONITOR/PHONES Control
Controls the level of the signal output to the PHONES jack
and the MONITOR jacks.
D
STEREO Master Control
Adjusts the signal level sent to the STEREO OUT jacks.
* Impedance Balanced
Since the hot and cold terminals of impedance balanced output
jacks have the same impedance, these outputs are less affected by
induced noise.
•
Be sure to leave this switch off (
) if you do
not need phantom power.
•
When tuning the switch on (
), be sure that
only condenser mics are connected to the XLR
input jacks (CHs: 1 to 5/6). Devices other than
condenser mics may be damaged if connected
to the phantom power supply. Note, however,
that the switch may be left on when connecting
to balanced dynamic microphones.
•
To avoid damage to speakers, be sure to turn off
amplifiers (or powered speakers) before turning
this switch on or off. We also recommend that
you turn all output controls (STEREO Master
control, etc.) to their minimum settings before
operating the switch to avoid the risk of loud
noises that could cause hearing loss or device
damage.
