Guided Tour - Main Section
1: Tape input (L, R) - Connect the outputs of a tape
or CD player to this set of dual phono jacks. The
volume of the incoming signal is controlled by the
Tape In level control (see #7 on the next page).
2: Aux Returns (1, 2) - Connect signal from external
stereo devices such as effects processors to these
unbalanced 1/4" jacks. See the “Connecting the
TM500” section on page 10 and the “Using Aux
Sends and Returns” section on page 20 in this
manual for more information.
3: Record outputs (L, R) - This set of dual phono
jacks allow you to connect the output of the TM500.to
the inputs of a two-track recorder. The volume of the
incoming signal is controlled by the Record Out level
control (see #8 on the next page). See the
“Connecting the TM500” section on page 10 in this
manual for more information.
4: Main Inserts (L, R) - Use these to insert an
external effects processor (such as outboard
equalizer, compressor/limiter or noise gate) across
the TM500’s main stereo output in an “effects loop”
configuration. This enables you to process the entire
mix simultaneously at unity gain. The “Post EQ” pair
of Main Inserts is affected by both the seven-band
graphic master equalizer and stereo faders, while the
“Pre EQ” pair is not. These jacks accept 1/4" TRS
plugs, with the ring carrying the send signal and the
tip carrying the return signal. Normally, this will be
connected to a Y-cord; see the “Connecting The
TM500” section on page 10 in this manual for more
information and a wiring diagram. The Main Inserts
can also be used to link multiple TM500s or to bring
the output from another mixer into the TM500 without
taking up channel line inputs. See the “Using Inserts”
section on page 21 in this manual.
5: Mono Out - This unbalanced 1/4" jack provides a
monophonic line-level output, unaffected by the
Stereo faders (see #23 on page 8). It can be used to
connect the TM500 to an external monitor
mixer/amplifier/speaker system so that performers
can receive an onstage monitor mix. See the
“Connecting the TM500” section on page 10 in this
manual for more information.
6: Aux Sends (1, 2) - These unbalanced 1/4" jacks
allow you to route signal from either of the TM500’s
two discrete Aux Sends to external devices such as
effects processors. Aux send1 is pre-fader, while Aux
Send 2 is post-fader. See the “Using Aux Sends and
Returns” section on page 20 in this manual for more
information.
