15. TAPE ASSIGN to MAIN
Press this switch in to add the tape input
to the main mix.
Press it out if you do not want the tape
input to play in the main mix. This allows
DJ-style cueing of the tape input in your
headphones before it is added to the main
mix for your audience.
This also allows for overdubbing with
the tape inputs/outputs without experienc-
ing feedback, and it maintains isolation of
your audio tracks. For example, you could
be feeding the pre-recorded tracks from a
computer running Tracktion into the tape
inputs. Leave "assign to main" out so you
can hear the pre-recorded tracks in the
headphones, as you play along to them.
Only your live performance will be recorded
from the tape outputs, not the pre-recorded
tracks. Press "assign to main" in if you want
to play the completed songs in your main
loudspeakers.
16. TAPE LEVEL
Use this to adjust the level of the tape in-
put playing in the main mix and headphones.
17. TAPE INPUT
These dual, unbalanced RCA inputs
accept line-level stereo signals. The signals
entering the inputs are always routed to the
phones output, and can be routed to the
main output, depending on the position of
the “assign to main” button.
Use these jacks for convenient playback of
your mixes. You’ll be able to review a mix and
then try another pass without repatching
or disturbing the mixer levels. You can also
use these jacks with an iPod dock, computer
line-level audio output, or DVD player to
feed music to a PA system between sets.
Use the "assign to main" switch [15] to
add the tape input to the main mix, and use
the tape level knob [16] to adjust its level.
18. TAPE OUTPUT
These unbalanced RCA connections tap
the main mix output to make simultaneous
recording and PA work more convenient.
Connect these to your recorder’s inputs.
The output here is an unbalanced copy of
the main mix, and it is affected by the main
mix level [22].
19. PHONES
This stereo jack will drive any standard
headphone to very loud levels. iPod-type or
computer headphones can also be used with
an appropriate adapter.
If you’re wiring your own cable for the
headphones output, follow standard conven-
tions:
Tip = Left channel
Ring = Right channel
Sleeve = Common ground
In the headphones, you will hear the main
mix as well as any source playing in the
tape inputs [17]. Adjust the phones level
[21] knob for comfortable and safe listening
levels in your headphones. See the warning
on the next page before using headphones.
Adjusting the main mix level [22] will
not affect the headphone output. Adjusting
the tape level [16] will affect the level of the
tape input signal heard in the headphones.
20. PHANTOM POWER SWITCH
This global switch controls the phantom
power supply for condenser microphones
plugged into channel 1 and 2 mic [3] inputs.
Press this in if your microphone requires
phantom power. (The mixer can supply
the microphone's power through the XLR
connectors, using the same lines used for
the audio.) Check with the microphone
manufacturer if you are not sure. See the
phantom power discussion on page 13 before
using this switch.
Press the switch in to engage phantom
power to both mic inputs. The phantom LED
next to the switch will light when phantom is
engaged. Press the switch again to turn it off.
