INPUT/OUTPUT PLUG CONNECTIONS
In order to be able to make all the necessary connections to your mixer, various different types of plugs
are needed. Check out the types in Fig. 8.1 below in order to prepare or buy the right leads before setting
up the mixer.
Fig 8.1 shows all the jack and XLR wiring information you will need to carry out all the connections, both
Input and Output, to and from your mixer.
Fig. 8.2 shows two wiring layouts for special applications that you may need.
A +48 V Phantom Power supply is available on all the Mono Mic inputs and this can be switched 'On' or
'Off' by means of the PHANTOM POWER push button (PB 6) in the Master section of controls on the
right of the panel.
Phantom Power must not be used in an unbalanced configuration.
☞
DO NOT plug mics into the mixer console (or stagebox) when the Phantom Power is 'ON'. Also make
sure you mute all PA/monitor speaker units before turning the Phantom Power 'On' or 'Off'. Allow a
short period of time to elapse after switching the system 'On', to allow the levels of the circuitry to
settle before setting the input gains.
