These jacks can serve a variety of patching and routing purposes. They are
positioned in the signal path after the
MP8
DX
’s monitor graphic equalizer.
The monitor mix signal is available at line level from the
MONITOR LINE OUT
jack at all times. Taking a signal from this jack has no effect upon the configuration
of the
MP8
DX
, so it is possible to feed an external power amplifier with the monitor
mix signal while the internal power amplifier also amplifies the monitor mix signal.
However, plugging into the
MONITOR
AMP B IN
jack will break the internal
monitor mix signal path. This allows you to insert a signal processing device (such as
an
élite
processor or digital delay unit), into the monitor signal path of the
MP8
DX
. To
achieve this connect a cable from the
MONITOR LINE OUT
jack to the processor’s
input jack, and a cable from the processor’s output jack to the
MP8
DX
’s
MONITOR
AMP B IN
jack.
You can deliver an external signal to the monitor power amplifier of the
MP8
DX
from any line level source via the
AMP B IN
jack. In this case you would
route the
MP8
DX
’s monitor mix from the
MONITOR LINE OUT
jack to another
mixer, or to an external power amplifier.
To summarize, the
MONITOR LINE OUT
and
MONITOR
AMP B IN
jacks may
be used as a
post-mix
effects loop or a signal processing patch, the
MONITOR LINE
OUT
jack can serve as a monitor mix output, and the
MONITOR
AMP B IN
jack can
be used as an auxiliary input to the internal
200 Watt
power amplifier.

These phono connectors carry the pre-EQ (not affected by the MAIN EQ) main mix
signals.
RECORD OUT
signal levels are regulated by the MAIN master. Using phono-
to-phono patch cords, connect the
RECORD OUT
jacks to the Aux. (line-level) inputs
on the tape deck. Actual recording levels would now be adjusted using the tape
deck's record level control/s.
Best results for recording will be achieved with the MAIN master and channel
levels set fairly high. If you need to record while the
MP8
DX
is operating in a PA
situation and set at lower levels, perhaps in a church, you can have a technician
make up two short **padded patch cables as specified below. These would be
connected between the MAIN LINE OUT jack and the
AMP A &
jack. They will
reduce the amount of signal going to the power amplifier inputs so that the MAIN
master and channel levels can be set high enough to provide adequate
RECORD
OUT
signal levels without the PA system being too loud.
** To fashion the -20dB padded patch cables, start with two short, shielded patch cords. On
each cord
, solder a
10k
Ohm
resistor in series with the tip of the plug to be inserted in a
LINE OUT
jack, then solder a
2.2k Ohm
resistor
across the plug to be inserted in an
AMP IN
jack. It would then be advisable to identify either the
LINE OUT
or
AMP
IN
plugs on both cords perhaps with tape or a dab of paint on the plug jacket.

This jack may be used to connect a standard
on/off
footswitch for the
internal
DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR
or alternately as an effects send jack to another
effects processor. In this latter function, both the internal effects and the other devices
would be sent signal. In that instance, you could connect the external unit’s output to
a LINE input on any channel. Here you would need to keep the
GAIN
level of that
channel fairly low and make
sure
that its
EFX
control is turned
off
. As another
alternative, the
EFX FOOTSWITCH/SEND
jack may be used to deliver
line
-level
signal to the input of an auxiliary amp/speaker system or a tape deck.
