LEFT/RIGHT MIX
In a live sound application the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX outputs are connected to a power amplifier or powered speak-
ers. In a recording application, the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX outputs are used to connect a stereo device such as com-
puter sound card, DAT, or cassette recorder.
3/4 OUTPUT
In a live sound application, the 3/4 bus outputs are connected to a power amplifier or powered speakers. In a
recording application, the 3/4 outputs are used to connect a stereo device such as computer sound card, DAT,
or cassette recorder.
FX RET 1 LEFT/RIGHT
The FX RET 1 LEFT/RIGHT are stereo inputs that are generally used to connect the outputs of an effects
processor, but can also accept the signal from any line level source like a keyboard, recorder and even another
mixer. The signal connected to the FX RET 1 LEFT/RIGHT will feed the main LEFT/RIGHT MIX bus. The over-
all level is controlled by the FX RETURN 1 knob located in the master section on the front panel
FX RET 2 LEFT/RIGHT
The FX RET 2 LEFT/RIGHT are stereo inputs that are generally used to connect the outputs of an effects
processor, but can also accept the signal from any line level source like a keyboard, recorder and even another
mixer. The signal connected to the FX RET 2 LEFT/RIGHT will feed the main LEFT/RIGHT MIX bus. The over-
all level is controlled by the FX RETURN 2 knob located in the master section on the front panel
AUX 1 Output
The signal present at the AUX 1 output is sent from the AUX 1 bus, which is fed from the AUX 1 send on the
input channels. The AUX 1 output can be used as the MONITOR MIX bus in a live sound situation by connecting
the output to a power amp and monitor speaker.
AUX 2 OUTPUT
The AUX 2 output is used to send a signal to an external signal processor such as a delay or reverb. The signal
present at the AUX 2 output is sent from the AUX2/DSP bus, which is fed from the AUX2/DSP send on the input
channels.
CONTROL ROOM LEFT/RIGHT
The Control Room outputs are used to connect a studio monitor system. The Control Room outputs have the
same output as the L/R MIX, however, the level can be adjusted independently from the main mix using the C
ROOM/HEADPHONES control.
MONO OUTPUT
The Left and Right Mix outputs are summed together and sent to the MONO output. The level of the Mono sig-
nal can be adjusted using the MONO OUT level control located just below the connector and used to feed a
speaker zone in a fixed installation.
AC INLET
Connected the supplied Samson AC adapter here. Before connecting
the supply, make sure that the MDR10 POWER and PHANTOM
POWER switches are in the off position.
