11. LINE L/MONO
Connect balanced or unbalanced instrument or line level signals to these ¼” (6.3mm)
TRS sockets. Wired as follows.
Balanced: Tip = (Hot) ; Ring = Signal - (Cold) ; Sleeve = Ground
Unbalanced: Tip = (Hot) ; Sleeve = Ground
12. LINE R
For stereo line inputs, use this connector for Right input and the above connector for Left
input. All following channel controls will affect both signals but Left & Right will remain
separate.
13. ST 1 / PCI
Switches the channel input between ST 1 and the PC INTERFACE (PCI). Press this
switch in to override the ST 1 inputs and the channel will be fed from a PC or Mac
connected to the USB B connector.
14. ST 2 / MPR
Switches the channel input between ST 2 and the MEDIA PLAYER/RECORDER (MPR).
Press this switch in to override the ST 2 inputs and the channel will be fed from playback
of USB or SD media on the MPR.
15. GAIN CONTROL
This control trims the mono or stereo input to the optimum level for the channel strip. Too
low a signal level can mean that there is not enough output from the channel and too high
can result in overload and distortion in the output. The SIG and CLIP LEDs above the
rotary control give an indication of the signal level. Ideally, the Gain rotary control should
be adjusted so that the green SIG LED is lit and the loudest passages of the input signal
(e.g. bass drum beats) will just momentarily trigger the CLIP” LED. Anything longer than a
momentary flicker of the CLIP LED means that the Gain should be reduced. Using the
PFL button further down the channel strip gives a more detailed view of the
channel level on the main VU LEDs.
The EXODUS ALPHA MXR 1800 GAIN structure employs the revolutionary GECKO®
C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile PreAmps technology for the purest of sound reproduction.
