 If the input channel's PFL switch is off
GROUP 3-4 signal can be monitored via the CONTROL ROOM OUT jacks, the HEADPHONE jack,
and the LEVEL METER. Use the MAIN or the GROUP switches to select the desired output to listen
to.
18. CTRL ROOM /PHONES CONTROL
Controls the signal level of the PHONES and CONTROL ROOM outputs.
19. LEVEL METER
This LED display shows the level of the signal selected by the selection switches, like described in the
LEVEL METER SIGNAL SWITCHES (17) above. The "0" point corresponds to the standard output level of
+4dB.
20. MAIN EQ ON/OFF Switch
The EQ ON/OFF switch is used to engage or bypass the MAIN EQUALIZER. When the switch is in the down
position, the EQ is on and when the switch is up, the EQ is bypassed.
21. MAIN STEREO EQUALIZER
The MAIN STEREO EQUALIZER allows you to control the frequency response of the MAIN stereo mix bus signal.
Providing a maximum of 12dB of cut/boost for each frequency band , this Graphic EQ is also extremely useful tool for
cutting the frequencies that cause annoying feedback. Since the MAIN GRAPHIC EQUALIZER is stereo, the EQ curve is
applied to both the left and right signal of the MAIN OUTPUT.
22. PHANTOM POWER INDICATOR
This indicator lights up when the phantom power is switched on.
23. 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 input jacks.
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 INPUT jacks.
* 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 the amplifier (on powered speakers) before turning this switch on or
off. We also recommend that you turn all out controls (MAIN master fader, ALT3/4 fader, etc.) to minimum settings before
operating the switch, to avoid risk of loud noises that could cause hearing loss or device damage.
24. POWER INDICATOR
This indicator lights when power switch of the mixer is turned on.

1. CHANNEL INPUTS
BALANCED MIC XLR Connectors
These are balanced XLR-type input connectors (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
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 13/14 and 15/16 provide 2 types of inputs: jack and RCA connectors. Please use only one
of these inputs for each channel. 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 AUX1/AUX2 busses. 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.
5. TAPE IN RCA connectors
Use these RCA connectors when you want to connect a CD, DAT or other external sound source directly to the mixer for
monitoring.
You can adjust the signal level using the TAPE IN control in the MAIN CONTROL SECTION.
6. REC OUT RCA connectors
The REC OUT connectors send the pre-fader signal from the master bus. U can use this output for recording.
7. SEND JACKS
These are unbalanced phone jacks
* AUX1, AUX2
These jacks output respectively the signal form AUX1 and AUX2 bus. You can use these jacks, for example to connect
powered stage monitors.
* EFX
You can use this jack for example to connect an external effect unit.
8. FOOT SWITCH JACK
A foot switch can be connected to this phone input jack and can be used to turn the digital effects ON/OFF.
