2 In / 6+ Out Splitter / Distribution Amplifier
Figure 3 shows how the SM 26B can be used in the
exact opposite mode as described above. When wired
per Figure 3, the SM 26B becomes a 2 In / 6+ Out
Splitter/Distribution Amp. The master stereo signal is
connected to the LEFT and RIGHT INPUT jacks and
is summed via the six MIX pots to each of the MONO
OUTPUTS. The “plus” is that the stereo bus is also
coupled directly through to the LEFT and RIGHT MIX
OUTPUTS. This allows signal translation from ‑10
dBV to +4 dBm or other level related conditioning to
the master stereo bus before feeding other equipment.
6+ In / 2 Out Mixer
Figure 2 diagrams the SM 26B signal path when configured as a
6+ In/2 Out mixer. The individual Inputs are connected to each of
the six MONO IN jacks and the combined Outputs are taken from
the LEFT AND RIGHT MIX OUTPUT Jacks. The “plus” comes
from the fact that the LEFT and RIGHT INPUTS also connect to
the LEFT and RIGHT MIX OUTPUTS. There is no pan capability
on these two Inputs, but each of them does sum with the 6 MONO
INs to produce a 6 plus LEFT to the LEFT OUTPUT and a 6 plus
RIGHT to the RIGHT OUTPUT option if so desired.
