Stereo inputs4.3
LINE L (MONO), LINE R
The stereo channels consist of two line inputs (¼" jacks), one for
the left and one for the right channel. The inputs are balanced
(TRS connectors), but it is also possible to connect to unbalanced
plugs (TS connectors). These channels can also be used as mono
channels by connecting to the jack labeled “L” (left).
MIC
The stereo channels also consist of XLR inputs for connecting to
microphones DI boxes and multicores.
+48 V
This is the phantom power for operating capacitor microphones along with the
control LED located next to the switch and in the Trim section of the stereo channels.
Main mix outputs4.4
OUT A
The OUT A outputs are balanced XLR connectors with a
nominal operating level of +4 dBu and provide the main
mix signal.
OUT B
The OUT B outputs provide the MAIN B signal the volume
level of which can be controlled.
INSERT
Like the channel inserts, the INS(ert) connectors can be used to hook up a
dynamics processor or equalizer for further processing of the mix signal on OUT A.
Subgroup connectors4.5
GROUP OUT 1 - 4
These four GROUP OUTS 1 – 4 carry the signals of the individual subgroups.
For multi-tracking connect the outputs to the inputs of a multi-track recorder.
INSERT
Each subgroup has an insert jack which is labeled INS. Here you can connect to
a noise gate, compressor or equalizer to process the subgroup signal as a whole.
For example, route your background vocalists to one subgroup bus and then use
a compressor to bring the vocals closer together. This makes it sound more like a
choir rather than a group of individual soloists. The insert point is placed before
the group fader, allowing the dynamics processors (noise gate, compressor, etc.)
to be optimally used and not aected by changes in volume level of the group
fader. Please use an insert cable to connect to the insert point.
SPEAKERS
The SPEAKERS outputs provide the same signal as the headphone outputs.
Use these outputs to hook up monitor speakers. This is helpful when the mixing
console is not located close the performance but in a separate room, such as a TV
control room. It is also possible to hook up a stage monitor, ideally one identical
to the monitors being used on stage, to listen in on the sound as perceived from
the stage monitors.
CD/tape connectors4.6
IN
The CD/TAPE input connectors are used to hook up CD players,
tape decks or other line-level sources.
OUT
The CD/TAPE output connectors provide the stereo main mix signal to a tape deck
or DAT recorder to record your mix. The signal is taken pre-fader so that it will not
be inuenced by the fader positions.
FX/Mon/Aux sends4.7
FX 1 and 2
The FX outputs 1 and 2 provide the signals of the eects
buses 1 and 2. These signals may be sent to external eects
processors and are routed back over the AUX-RETURN
inputs or separate input channels, for example.
MON 1 and 2
The monitor outputs 1 and 2 provide the signals of the
monitor buses. These signals may be be sent to stage
loudspeakers. To prevent interference due to the long
cables being used between stage and mixing console,
the outputs are balanced XLR connectors. What's more,
you have the right connectors when working with multicores.
AUX 1 and 2
The AUX outputs 1 and 2 provide the signals of the AUX buses 1 and 2.
You can switch these buses pre-fader and post-fader so that they may be
used for eects as well as for monitor applications.
Aux returns4.8
AUX RETURN
The stereo AUX inputs 1 und 2 let you
connect the mixer to additional equipment
(players, eects processors, submixers, etc.).
The signal is sent to the signal sum.
FX RETURN
The stereo FX RETURN connectors 1 and 2 are linked to the outputs of external
eects processors. Depending on the routing, the signals are sent to the
subgroup or the main mix bus.
Light and headphone connectors4.9
LAMPS
The LAMPS plugs are for connecting gooseneck lamps with BNC connectors.
The power supply is 12 V _ and the total connection load is 5 Watts a lamp.
PHONES
The PHONES outputs (¼" stereo jacks) let you plug in your headphones.
