B. CONNECTIONS

1. XLR Input jacks

Electronically balanced inputs accept a standard

XLR male connector. Pin1=ground, pin2=cold or

nrgative (-) and pin3=hot or oisutuve (+) (see Figure

2). These connectors should be utilized for low

impedance microphones. If you are using a high

impedanced microphone, it will likeiy have a cord

with a1/4 inch connector on it. In this case, it would

be appropriate to plug such microphones into a line

input, however performance, we recommend you

invest in one of the many higher quality, liw

impedance mics available on the market, or

alternatively, purchase an impedance matching

transformer from your dealer.

2. 1/4 Inch Phone Input Jacks

These tip / sleeve jacks accep0t an unbalanced line

level signal using a narmal male phone plug. (see

Figure 2.)

3. Speaker Output Jacks

The speaker output jacks are 1/4 inch two

conductor jacks. Their power output and functin are

dependent upon the particular unit that you are

using.

4. RCA Phono Jacks

The RCA jacks accept unbalanced male pin

connectors.

C. BASIC OPERATIONS MODES

a. FEMALE THREE PIN CONNECTOR

b. UNBALANCED 1/4'' CONNECTOR

Before you begin your connections, you must

decide how you will configure your sound system.

Below ate three different system variations that can

ve used with your powered mixer. Carefully consider

all of them to decide which system you will use.

NOTE; The Wtereo metro Mixers feature flexible

patching

options

which

make

possible

more

variations of setup than are presented here. Once

familiarized with the unit's capabilities, you should

be able to cahieve practically any serup you desire.

SYSTEM 1.

Powered Stereo Operation

For this most basic stereo powered mono mixer

operation, you will need to commect:

*

1 or more input source devices such as a

microphone, keyboard, CD player or tape deck.

*

An outboard effect processor such as a digital

reverb unit. (optional)

*

Two or four main speaker systems, divided

equally among the Lefr and Right outputs.

SYSTEM 2.

Internally

powered

Stereo

Operation

with

Sparately Powered Monitor Speakers

1 or more input source devices such as a

microphone,keyboard, CD player or tape deck.

An outboard effects processor such as a digital

reverb unit (optionsl)

two or four main speaker systems, divided

equally among the Left and Right outputs.

1 graphic equalizer for equalizing the monitor

wywtem.

1 external power amplifier for the monitor

speakers.

1 or more monitpr speaker systems.

SYSTEM 3.

Main + Monitor Powered Operation

This is a very popular alternative use of the two

power amplifier channels. One output, the sum of left

and

right

buses,

is

used

for

the

Main(audience)speakers, and the other output for

Monitor speakers.

This setup requires:

1 or more input source devices such as a

,ocrp[jpme, keyboard, CD player or tape deck.

An outboard effects processor such as a digital

reverb unit. (optional)

1 or more main speaker systems.

1 or more monitor speaker systems.

D. SYSTEM CONNECTION

Now that you have decided which mode and type of

system operation you will use, you are ready to make

your system connections and settings on your Stereo

MetroMix.

CAUTION:

Before proceeding, make sure that are to ve

connected have been switched OFF.

1. Input Selection

Both the mic and line inputs on each channel are

active at the same time. You should be sure only

one device or instrument is connected to a channel

input at one time. Connection of more than one

device could cause undesirable results.
