Operating the MDR624
USING AN EXTERNAL EFFECT
If you want to use an external device for effects processing, you can easily connect the unit using the MDR624
AUX bus. Follow the simple steps below to interface your
processor:
1. Set the L/R mix faders to the "2 o’clock" position.
2. Raise the AUX knobs for the channels to which you want
the external effect to be applied.
3. Set the input level of the external effect so that the sound is
not distorted and so that the effect’s input meter does not
indicate a clipped signal.
4. Use the AUX return control to adjust the level of the effects
processed by the external effects device.
PLAYING BACK A CD USING 2T TO MIX
The MDR624 has a dedicated input for playing back a CD,
Tape or Mini Disk, which is heard in the Control Room and
Headphone outputs or the main outputs. Below is a descrip-
tion of how you can play back a CD, Tape or MD using the MDR624’s 2 TRACK INPUT.
• Turn the CONTROL ROOM and MAIN LEVEL knob all the way down.
• If you want to hear the 2-track in the Control Room
outputs, engage the 2T to CR switch. If you want to
hear the 2-track in the the MAIN outputs, engage
the 2T TO MIX switch.
• Start playback on the CD, Tape or MD player.
• Now raise the CONTROL ROOM level or main level
until you reach a comfortable listening level.
RECORDING A MIX FROM THE MDR624
You can record the audio from the MDR624’s mixer section
including the MIC, LINE, TAPE IN and AUX inputs to a
Cassette deck, MD, DAT or any other type of recorder using
the 2 Track outputs. Simply connect the MDR624’s 2-Track
OUT to the input jacks of the recorder as shown in the dia-
gram to the right. Connect the recorders outputs to the 2 Track in jacks as shown.

SENDING AN INDEPENDENT MIX TO THE MONITOR SPEAKERS
The MDR624’s AUX send can be used to feed a separate set of amplifiers and loudspeakers for stage monitors.
This lets you build one stereo mix for the amplifiers and speakers facing the audience and the other mono mix for
the amplifiers and monitor speakers facing the musicians.
1. Raise the AUX controls for the channels that you wish to hear from the monitor speakers.
NOTE:
The AUX controls are "PRE-FADER SENDS" which means they are not affected by the FADER
level settings of each channel. This allows you to create a mix for the monitors that is independent of the
main LEFT and RIGHT MIX.
2. In order to get the most gain from your monitor mix, use an external graphic equalizer (like a Samson S curve
131 or E31i) to cut out any frequencies that cause feedback. For more information, see the diagram on pg. 14.
