Connections
The EPA900 mixer is equipped with 4 mono and 2 stereo inputs and an additional
AUX input. The input signals are internally distributed to a stereo bus. It is also
possible to use its channels separately (mono), such as when used for FOH/PA and
stage. Depending on the requirements, one stereo or two independent mono
sounds can be run. An internal effect can be used as an AUX effect from each
channel. The 7-band graphic equalizer is used to process the stereo bus or the
two mono paths.
Mono Channels (1-4) 3.1
Channels 1-4 are designed as mono channels and are used to connect
microphones or mono line-level sources. The connectors are balanced to
ensure high interference resistance. If possible, you should use balanced cable
connectors to profit from the advantages of this type of connection.
Microphone/Line Inputs 3.1.1
MIC
You can connect either dynamic
microphones or condenser microphones to
the MIC connector using XLR plugs.
LINE IN
Via the LINE IN connector, you can
connect instruments (e.g., keyboards,
electric guitars) or other line-level
sources (e.g., CD player, external
mixers, notebook sound card).
The ¼" jack accepts both balanced and
unbalanced connectors.
PAD
With the PAD switch, you can weaken loud input signals by 20 dB. Use this
function if the CLIP LED is lit up and the level cannot be reduced any further using
the LEVEL control.
PHANTOM
With the PHANTOM switch, you can activate the phantom power supply for all
microphone channels. Use the supply for condenser microphones.
Stereo Channels (5/6-7/8) 3.2
Channels 5/6-7/8 are designed as stereo channels and are used to connect stereo
line-level sources.
Line Inputs 3.2.1
LEFT (L) / RIGHT (R)
Via these connectors, you can connect stereo line-level
sources (e.g., keyboard, CD player, external mixers,
notebook sound card). Either the cinch jacks or the ¼" jacks
can be used, but not both at the same time.
VOICE CANCELLER (Channel 7/8)
The VOICE CANCELLER function enables voice to be filtered
out of stereo signals. This function is useful for karaoke
applications with a player (CD/MP3 player, etc.).
