LINE INPUTS (Ch 7-8)
These high impedance 1/4” inputs are for line-level signals. The inputs are summed
to mono‚ allowing a stereo source to be input into these channels. In critical
situations‚ two mono line sources can be connected to one input.
TRACK SELECT
The input to Channel 9/10 can be selected as left (mono), right (mono) or summed
mono input. This Track Select switch is specifically included to help when using
soundtracks that are split into vocal and accompaniment tracks. By pressing the
Left (L) button, the left signal is fed into both channels. By pressing the Right (R)
button, the right signal is fed into both channels. However, when both buttons are
simultaneously in the "UP" or "DOWN" position, the left and right channel signals
are "summed together."
MEDIA IN
This pair of RCA jacks accepts a stereo input (-10 dBV nominal) from the output of
an MP3 player, CD player, tape deck or other similar device. The signal is
placed on the main channel as well as the monitor mix.
PHANTOM POWER SWITCH
When depressed‚ this switch applies 48 VDC to all input XLR connectors
to power microphones that require phantom power.
Caution: When phantom power is switched on‚ make sure that any
channel you are plugging a microphone into is turned down and the
Master Main and Monitor controls are set to minimum. Otherwise‚ there
will be a loud pop in the system. For best results, rst plug in all
microphones into their respective channels before phantom power is
switched on. This reduces noise through the system and reduces the
chance of damage to the microphones. If phantom power is used‚ do
not connect unbalanced‚ dynamic microphones or other devices to the
XLR inputs that cannot handle this voltage. (Some wireless receivers
may be damaged. Consult their manuals.) The line input jacks are not
connected to the phantom supply and are safe for all inputs (balanced or
unbalanced). An unbalanced to balanced impedance converter such as
the Peavey 5116 or a Peavey 1:1 Interface Adapter may also be used to
isolate a microphone from phantom voltage.
