Mono Input Channels
Mono input channels control the levels, routing, and EQ on single channel audio inputs.
• All mono input channels have both microphone and line-level capability.
•
In addition, specific channels feature Hi-Z inputs for high impedance sources such as guitar pick-ups.
Refer to Sections 4.2 and 5.1.1 for more detail.
Stereo Input Channels
Notepad consoles have two types of stereo inputs.
•
Stereo Jacks - Connect left and right signals to the left and right jack inputs. On these channels, a mono
source may also be used. In this case, connect a jack only to the left input. Internal contacts on the jack
socket route this signal to both left and right of the mix.
• Stereo RCA - this is the highest numbered stereo channel on the console and offers stereo line level
RCA inputs. This channel is also the ‘Playback Channel’ and stereo audio from USB is summed into this.
Refer to Sections 4.2 and 5.1.2 for more detail.
