54. SUB OUTS (Mix.260FX)
These 1/4" TRS jacks provide the outputs for the
SUB 1 and 2 signals. These can be connected to the
inputs of a recording device, or to secondary amplifi ers
for an alternate mix.
55. CTRL RM OUT
These 1/4" TRS jacks can be used to provide
another main mix output, or to monitor the CD/TAPE
Inputs (CD/TAPE switch pushed in), or to monitor
the ALT 3-4 (Mix.220FX only) or the SUB 1-2 output
(Mix.260FX only).
Connect these outputs to the inputs of an
amplifi er, powered speakers, or recording device.
56. CHANNEL INSERTS 1-4 (Mix.260FX only)
These 1/4" TRS jacks provide a send and return
point for channels 1-4. Use the CHANNEL INSERT
jacks to connect serial eff ects devices such as
compressors, equalizers, de-essers, or fi lters to each
individual channel.
The INSERT points are after the GAIN and Low
Cut controls, but before the EQ and Fader controls.
The send (tip) is low-impedance, capable of driving
any device. The return (ring) is high-impedance and
can be driven by almost any device.
Special insert cables are available, specially
designed for this kind of insert jack. They are wired
as follows:
“tip”
This plug connects to the
Channel Insert jack
“ring”
tip
ring
sleeve
SEND to processor
RETURN from processor
(TRS plug)
Tip = Send (output to eff ects device)
Ring = Return ( input from eff ects device)
Sleeve = Common ground (connect shield to all
three sleeves)
Besides being used for inserting external devices,
these jacks can also be used as channel direct
outputs; post-GAIN, post-LOW CUT, and pre-EQ.
57. POWER ON
This one is self-explanatory. When the POWER
switch is turned ON, power is supplied to the MIX FX
Series mixer and the power LED on the front panel
lights up.
58. PHANTOM ON
Turn on this switch to provide phantom power to
all four MIC INPUT [1] XLR jacks. Phantom power
is required to operate most condenser microphones
(some condenser microphones are battery-powered).
With the switch turned on, the mixer provides +48
VDC phantom powering on XLR pins 2 and 3.
If you have ribbon mics, tube mics, or dynamic
mics that do not require phantom power, leave the
PHANTOM POWER switch out. If you are using both
condenser and dynamic mics, don’t worry. Phantom
power will not hurt most dynamic mics. Check the
microphone’s user manual if you’re not sure.
Caution: Turn all output levels down before operating
this switch to avoid the possibility of a “pop” in your
speakers. Do not use phantom power with tube or
ribbon microphones, as this may cause damage.
59. Power Receptacle and Fuse
This is a standard 3-prong IEC power connector.
Connect the detachable linecord (included in the
box with your MIX FX Series mixer) to the power
receptacle, and plug the other end of the linecord
into an AC outlet properly confi gured with the
voltage required for your particular model (100-120
VAC or 220-240 VAC).
The fuse is located behind the fuse cover, at the
bottom of the IEC socket. See the “Troubleshooting”
section on page 12 for information about replacing
the fuse.
60. Kensington Security Slot
To help prevent theft, all the MIX FX Series mixers
have a security slot designed to fi t the popular
Kensington security locks. A variety of models are
available from their website at www.kensington.com.
