TAPE INPUT
Patch the outputs of your intermission en-
tertainment here. Any line-level mono or stereo
device can be used: tape, CD player, television
audio, etc. See
BREAK SWITCH for more
information.
When connecting a mono device (just one
cord), you’ll need a “Y-splitter” RCA adapter. It
turns a mono output cord into two cords; so
both the left and right tape input jacks can be
patched. This adapter is widely available.
TAPE OUTPUT
Use these jacks to capture the entire perfor-
mance to tape. The signal at these jacks is the
main mix, after the
MAIN INSERT but be-
fore the MAIN MIX Fader . The main mix
signal will be present at these jacks regardless
of the position of the
MAIN MIX Fader.
PHONES
The stereo signal at these jacks is the same
as at the MAIN OUT , but with two impor-
tant differences:
After the MAIN MIX Fader , the mix is
sent through the PHONES LEVEL control,
allowing you to set levels as desired, without
disturbing the main mix level.
When a channel’s SOLO PFL is engaged,
the main mix signal at this output will be re-
placed by the solo signal, allowing the engineer
to audition channels without disturbing the
main mix.
The stereo PHONES jack will drive any
standard headphones to very loud levels.
Walkperson-type phones can also be used with
an appropriate adapter.
Note: Please see the “Safety Instructions” on
page 2 for information on hearing protection.
EFX FOOT SWITCH
You can connect a normally-open foot switch
to this connector to duplicate the function of
the
BYPASS switch, located in the EMAC
EFFECTS PROCESSOR . Closing the switch
connection causes the EFX BYPASS indicator
to light and mutes the effects.
Note: When a foot switch is plugged into
the FOOT SWITCH jack, the BYPASS switch
is disabled.
Just like the BYPASS switch, this
affects only the internal EMAC EFFECTS
PROCESSOR and not any device plugged into
STEREO EFX RETURN 2
.
LAMP
This BNC-type connector will accept almost
any of the widely available 12VDC 0.5 amp
gooseneck lamps, made by Littlite
® and others.
If your work involves mixing in the back of
dark theaters, this lamp will likely become
your best friend.
AC POWER INPUT
This IEC Socket is where you connect the
supplied AC linecord to provide AC power to
the CFX Mixer. Plug the cord into a suitable
AC outlet, properly grounded and capable of
delivering adequate current.
If you happen to lose the AC linecord,
replacements are available at any office/
computer supply store.
POWER SWITCH
POWER STATUS
The POWER switch is located on the
rear panel, adjacent to the AC Power Input
. Push the side of the switch labeled “ ON”
to turn the mixer on; you should see the
POWER STATUS
LED glow in confirma-
tion. To turn the mixer off, push the switch the
other way. (Let’s all say a big collective “Duh.”)
