MD4—Owner’s Manual
Using MD4 with a Sub-Mixer
The MD4’s four-channel mixer is flexible enough to handle most applications. If you need to
expand the number of simultaneously available inputs, however, an external sub-mixer can be
used. The stereo outputs of the sub-mixer can be connected to the MD4’s STEREO SUB IN jacks.
The STEREO SUB IN signals can then be sent to the Stereo bus for mixdown or assigned to
tracks for recording. The following illustration shows how to connect a sub-mixer.
The Quick-Start System illustration on page 12 shows the STEREO SUB IN jacks connected to
a master recorder. Note, however, that this connection is only required to play back the final
mix from the master recorder. Until that time, the STEREO SUB IN jacks can be used for other
applications, such as the one shown above.
