Using the Direct Outputs
The rear panel Direct Outputs provide a unity-gain pass-through of each input signal,
pre-processing
— allowing you to
share a common aux/group feed across multiple MM 42s or to feed elsewhere.
For example, create a single or stereo “full band” mix for a group of background singers, and send this feed from the
console to Line Inputs A and B of the MM 42. Augment each person’s mix with an individual feed to Line Input C of each
MM 42. Connect Direct Outs A and B to Inputs A and B of another MM 42. Repeat the process to daisy chain multiple MM
42s together. Use the front panel Input Levels to set the relative balance between mix elements (full band versus solo instru-
ment) for each performer.
