MICROMIX
MICROMIX
equalizer, or a compressor/limiter into the
Main
stereo signal path. This is accomplished by
connecting two cables from the
L & R MAIN
outputs to the device’s input jacks and two more
cables from the device’s output jacks to the
MP10DS
,
AMP A & B IN
jacks.
It is even possible to connect another mixer to the
MP10DS
,
power amplifier via the
AMP A
& B IN
jacks. This
slaves
the amplifier to that mixer’s signals (i.e. it no longer receives the
built-in
mixer’s signals), which means that you could use the
built-in
mixer to do another,
totally separate mixing job. For example, you could patch the
MP10DS
,
L & R MAIN
outputs
to two inputs on another mixer connected to amps driving a
PA
speaker system while using
the
A
and
B
amps to power control room speakers.

RECORD O
OUT J
JACKS
These phono connectors carry the Left & Right pre-EQ (not affected by the MAIN EQ) main mix
signals.
RECORD OUT
signal levels are regulated by the MAIN master. Using phono-to-phono
patch cords, connect the
RECORD OUT
jacks to the Aux. (line-level) inputs on the tape deck.
Actual recording levels would now be adjusted using the tape deck’s record level control/s.
Best results for recording will be achieved with the MAIN master and channel levels set fair-
ly high. If you need to record while the
MP10DS
is
operating in a PA situation and set at lower levels,
perhaps in a church, you can have a technician
make up two short **padded patch cables as speci-
fied below. These would be connected between
the
L & R
MAIN LINE OUT jacks and the
AMP A &
B IN
jacks. They will reduce the amount of signal
going to the power amplifier inputs so that the
MAIN master and channel levels can be set high
enough to provide adequate
RECORD OUT
signal
levels without the PA system being too loud.
** To fashion the -20dB padded patch cables, start with two short, shielded patch cords. On each
cord, solder a 10k Ohm resistor in series with the tip of the plug to be inserted in a LINE OUT
jack, then solder a 2.2k Ohm resistor across the plug to be inserted in an AMP IN jack. It would
then be advisable to identify either the LINE OUT or AMP IN plugs on both cords perhaps with
tape or a dab of paint on the plug jacket.

MONITOR L
LINE O
OUT J
JACK
The monitor
bus
output signal is available at line level (not speaker level) from the
MON OUT
jack and would normally be patched to the input of a
mono
power amplifier, or one channel
of a stereo amp driving monitor speakers. Keeping in mind that there is no internal equaliza-
tion for the monitor mix, you might want to patch a graphic equalizer between the
MONITOR
OUT
jack and the input of your monitor power amplifier to help regulate feedback (see
Note
below). As mentioned under
MAIN OUT & AMP IN JACKS
, the monitor mix signal can also
be patched to one channel of the internal amplifier. If a main/monitor amplifier configuration
is desired, use the
LEFT MONO
signal from the
MAIN OUT
jacks to feed one amplifier. The
MON OUT
signal could be used to feed the remaining amplifier (this is also covered in the
previous section).
Note: Patching something between things, in this case, means connecting the MP10DS ’s MONITOR
OUT jack to the input of an EQ and the output of the EQ to the input of a monitor power amp
8. E
EFX F
FOOTSWITCH/SEND J
JACK
This jack may be used to connect a standard
on/off
footswitch for the
internal DIGITAL
EFFECTS PROCESSOR
or alternately as an effects send jack to another effects processor. In this
latter function, both devices would be sent signal. In that instance, you could connect the
external unit’s
left
and
right
outputs to the
L & R
inputs on channel
7/8
or channel
9/10
(or
any of the other channels. Here you would need to keep the
GAIN
level of that channel fairly
low and make
sure
that its
EFX
control is turned
off
on these channels. As another alternative,
the
EFX FOOTSWITCH/SEND
jack may be used to deliver
line
-level signal to the input of an
auxiliary amp/speaker system or a tape deck. Here, the channel
EFX
controls would act as sec-
ondary level controls. Keep in mind, however, this means that the
built-in
DIGITAL EFFECTS
PROCESSOR
will be disabled.
