MT8XII—Owner’s Manual

Rear Panel Connectors

1

STEREO INPUT (UNBAL) 9–14

These 1/4-inch phone jacks are used to connect electronic musical instruments and other 
line-level sound sources that have stereo outputs. They can also be used to return the processed 
stereo signals from external effects processors. The processed signals can then be mixed into the 
MT8XII stereo mix or recorded to tracks.

2

POWER ON/OFF switch

This switch is used to turn on and off the MT8XII.

3

AC IN

Connect the supplied power cord here.

4

AUX SEND

These 1/4-inch phone jacks are used to send the Aux Send signals to external effects processors. 
Connect them to the effects processors’ inputs.

5

STEREO OUT

These phono jacks are used to connect a stereo master recorder for recording the final mix. The 
master recorder could be a DAT recorder, MiniDisc recorder, or cassette tape deck. Connect 
them to your master recorder’s stereo inputs.

6

MONITOR OUT

These phono jacks are used to send the monitor signals to a stereo monitor amplifier and speak-
ers. This could be a dedicated monitor amplifier and speakers or your hi-fi system. Connect 
them to the monitor amplifier’s stereo inputs. The MONITOR OUT signal is the same as the 
headphone signal.
