ENGLISH
6. MAIN L/R MASTER VOLUME KNOB
Adjusts the final output level that is sent to the
MAIN L/R OUTPUTS.
7. AUX STEREO RETURN CONTROL
Adjusts the level of the signal coming from the
AUX RETURN connectors (L and R), routed to
the MAIN L/R bus.
8. TAPE IN CONTROL
This knob controls the level of the playback
signal that is coming from the TAPE IN RCA
connectors, and that will be routed to the MAIN
L/R output.
9. LEVEL METER
This LED display shows the level of the MAIN
L/R output signal. The "0" point corresponds to
the standard output level of +4dB.
10. POWER INDICATOR
This indicator lights when power switch of the mixer
is turned on.
11. PHANTOM POWER SWITCH
This switch toggles the phantom power on or
off. If you set the switch on, the mixer supplies
power to all channels that provide XLR MIC
inputs.
Set this switch on when using one or more
condenser microphones that need to receive
external power from the mixer.
NOTE: When this switch is on, the mixer supplies DC +48V power to pins 2 and 3 of all XLR-type MIC
INPUTS.
* Be sure to leave this switch off ( ) if you do not need phantom power.
* When tuning the switch on ( ), be sure that only condenser MICs are connected to the XLR input
jacks.
Devices other than condenser MICs may be damaged if connected to the phantom power supply.
Note, however, that the switch may be left on without problem when connecting to balanced dynamic
microphones.
* To avoid damage to speakers, be sure to turn off amplifier (on powered speakers) before turning this switch
on or off. We also recommend that you turn all out controls to minimum settings before operating the switch,
to avoid risk of loud noises that could cause hearing loss or device damage.
12. PHANTOM POWER INDICATOR
This indicator lights up when the phantom power is switched on.

CONNECTORS
1. CHANNEL INPUTS
BALANCED MIC XLR Connectors
These are balanced XLR-type input jacks (1: Sleeve, 2: Hot, 3:Cold)
BALANCED LINE IN JACK Connectors
A standard 1/4" TRS phone jack is used for balanced or unbalanced line level signals, like used with most
electronic keyboards, synthesizers, tape decks and the line outputs from other mixers.
2. CHANNEL INSERT I/O JACK
These are input/output jacks located between the head-amplifier and the high pass filter.
These jacks can be used to independently connect these channels to devices such as graphic equalizers,
compressors, and noise filters. These are 1/4" TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that support bi-directional
operation.
NOTE: Connection to an INSERT I/O jack requires a special separately-sold insertion cable such as
illustrated below.
3. CHANNEL INPUT JACKS
These are unbalanced stereo line input connectors. Two types are provided: Jack type and RCA pin type.
For stereo signals, you need of course to connect both Left and Right channels.
Channels CH9/10 and CH11/12 can also be used for mono signals. If you need to connect a mono signal,
then use only the L MONO Jack input. When the mixer detects no connector in the R input, it will spread the
signal of the L MONO Jack input over both L and R channels.
NOTE: Channels 7/8 provide 2 types of inputs: jack and RCA connectors. Please use only one of these
inputs. Never use both input types at the same time on the same channel.
4. STEREO RETURN L (MONO), R JACK
These are unbalanced 1/4" TRS phone-type line input jacks. The signal received by these jacks is sent to the
MAIN bus and AUX buss. These jacks are mainly used to receive a return signal from an external effect
(reverb, delay, etc.)
NOTE: These jacks can also be used as an auxiliary stereo input. If you need to connect a mono signal, then
use only the L MONO Jack input. When the mixer detects no connector in the R input, it will spread the
signal of the L MONO Jack input over both L and R channels.
