LEFT/MONO INPUT
This ¼" input expects a line level signal. It accepts either balanced
(TRS) or unbalanced (TS) ¼" cables. If only the Left/Mono input is
used on a channel, that signal will be sent to the left and right
outputs. If the Right input is also used, this input will be sent to the
left output.
RIGHT INPUT
As above, this is a line level input, either balanced or unbalanced.
It is sent to the right output.
+4/-10 SWITCH
This switch sets the sensitivity for the channel. It's similar to the
gain control, but only has two settings. Generally speaking, if your
device has balanced outputs you should use the +4 setting. If your
device has unbalanced outputs, use the -10 setting.
The -10 setting actually adds gain to the signal in this case. The
number refers to the operating level of the device plugged into the
mixer.
AUX SEND
This sends the channel to the aux buss. See the previous section
for more information.
BALANCE (BAL)
The Balance knob has a similar effect to the pan control explained
in the previous section. But the Balance control just turns down
one input or the other. As you turn Balance to the right, the signal
coming into the Left/Mono input gets softer. This allows you to
control the panning in your mix without collapsing the stereo
width of the input.
LEVEL
This controls the level of the channel going to the Main Outs. See
the previous section for more information.
AUX RCA INPUT
The Aux RCA Inputs are a pair of unbalanced RCA phono line
inputs. They can be used for a variety of applications:
1) Monitoring a mixdown recorder. Since these inputs aren't sent
to the Main Outputs, there is no chance of a feedback loop.
2) Playing an MP3 player through the PA between band sets,
muting all microphones
3) Sending a signal to the headphone outputs but not to the main
outputs. You might plug a set of outputs from a computer
inter¬face into these inputs, so that the metronome click can be
sent to the headphones but not the main out.
There are two buttons that control where these inputs are heard.
One is Aux RCA To Mix and the other is Aux RCA To Phones (Cntl
Room.)
When AUX RCA TO MIX is switched on, all of the inputs are muted
except for the Aux RCA input. All that you will hear from the L/R
outputs is what is playing into the Aux RCA input. You might use
this in the example above to play an MP3 player to the PA
between sets.
Pressing AUX RCA TO PHONES/CONTROL ROOM means that
only the Aux RCA input is heard through the Control Room and
Phones outputs. This is useful if you are recording the mix and
only want to hear what is coming back from the recorder. This
ensures that the recorder is getting the mix that you expect to
hear. It also allows you to monitor the recorder output without
creating a feed¬back loop in the speakers.
CHANNELS 5-12: STERO LINE INPUTS
MAIN OUTS
The Main Outs are line outputs. They will work with either
balanced or unbalanced cables. The Main Mix fader controls the
level of the Main Outputs. You might plug the main outs into a PA
amplifier or a mixdown recorder.
All of the channels should show up at the Main outputs. If they
don't, make sure that the "Aux RCA to Mix" button isn't pushed.
CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS (CNTL RM OUT)
The Control Room Outputs are a separate set of outputs for the
mixer to listen to. In a home studio, you might plug these into a set
of powered studio monitors. The Cnrl Rm|Ph knob controls the
level going to the control room outputs (and the headphones.)
There are three sources that can be sent to the Control Room
Outputs. Usually, you listen to the same mix that's coming out of
the Main Outs. If the Aux RCA to Phones (Control Room) button is
pressed, only the Aux RCA input will be heard through the Control
Room outputs.
If the Aux Send to Phones (Cntl Room) is pressed down, the aux
send will be heard through the Control Room outputs. This can be
useful when preparing a headphone mix for an artist.
PHONES
This is a headphone-level output. It is designed to drive a pair of
headphones with a balanced ¼" connector. If your headphones
have a 1/8" stereo jack, you will need an adapter to plug them
into the mixer (included with most professional headphones.)
Note that the headphones and the control room outputs are
linked – both the mix and level. If you press Aux RCA to Phones
(Cntl Rm), the Aux RCA input will be sent to both the control room
outs and the headphones. If you turn the control room level all the
way down, there will be no signal in the headphones.
AUX SEND
This jack sends the aux buss out of the mixer. Turn up the Aux
knob on any channel to send it to the Aux Send output. See page
9 for more information about the Aux Send.
AUX RCA OUTPUT
This is a pair of unbalanced line level outputs. They are just a copy
of the Main Outputs. If you turn the Main Mix fader down, the level
is also reduced here.
