Connections (Refer to the diagrams on pages 15 & 16)
Before you connect the unit's main power supply, be sure local voltage matches that of the required
mixer voltage. Remember the mixer can be selected to operate with either 115v or 230v. Operational
can be changed by the VOLTAGE SELECTOR (26) on the rear of the unit.
Be sure the power switch is in the OFF position before making any type of connections to the mixer.
Also be sure the power on all units being connected to the mixer have been switched off.
Before switch the power on the mixer be sure MASTER VOLUME (13) is turned down and the power
switch to all your amplifier are in the "OFF" position.
Connect the mixers MASTER OUTPUT JACKS (31) to your audio system. Make sure that the chan-
nels are set properly. When using the BALANCED OUTPUT JACKS (30) be sure your cable follow
the above Pin Configuration (Figure 3).
For recording, connect your tape recorder or cassette deck to the REC OUT JACKS (33). The Record
Out level will not be influenced by the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (13). The Record Out (REC
OUT) level is dictated by the CHANNEL FADER LEVEL (6).
Connect a microphone to any of the two available MIC INPUT JACKS (15 & 38).
You can connect 2 turntables using the PHONO 1 (37) or PHONO 2 (35) RCA jacks on the rear
panel. The mixer will only accept turntable level signal if the LINE LEVEL SWITCHES (36) are in the
"PHONO" position.
Connect your tape recorder, tuner, sound effects, CD player, and cassette decks etc. to the RCA
LINE LEVEL INPUT JACKS on the rear panel. CD players, cassette decks and other line level instru-
ments may also be connected to the PHONO RCA JACKS as long as the LINE LEVEL SWITCHES
are in the "AUX" position.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS:
OUTPUTS:
The Q-2422/SX allows you two types of output connectors BALANCED XLR (28) and UNBALANCED
RCA (31, 32, & 33). Use these connection to connect the output signal from your mixer to the inputs
of a cross-over, EQ, or other type processor. A balanced connection is recommended for cable runs
longer that 15 feet. When constructing your own XLR cables follow the pin conguration describe
below for proper connectivity. For cable runs shorter than 15 feet you may choose the RCA unbal-
anced output option. The unbalanced output option may be more convenient for most users due to
the abundant supply of prefabricated RCA cables on the market.
INPUTS:
All the input options on the mixer are unbalanced RCA's. For best results do not use cable run longer
than 15 feet for any incoming audio source, longer cable runs will result in inferior sound quality.
