3. Connect your audio sources to the mixer inputs

The mixer can accept twelve channels of analog in-
puts, two channels (one stereo pair) of digital (S/P
DIF) input (

→p.44 “1-2. Digital input”), and a stereo

input from the internal Session Drums (

→p.59 “Re-

cording patterns on a track”). Here we'll explain
how to connect analog audio sources to channels 1-4.

Connect mics and instruments to the INPUT jacks

Microphones, guitars & basses, and keyboard/syn-
thesizer instruments all have different output levels
and require different input connections. Here, we’ll
give an example of each type.

(1) Connect a guitar to the guitar input.

Rotate the INPUT 1 TRIM knob all the way to the
left, and connect your guitar to the GUITAR IN jack.
The GUITAR IN jack is shared with INPUT 1, and
the two cannot be used simultaneously. (

→p.7 “3

GUITAR IN jack”)

(2) Connect a microphone to one of the analog inputs.

Rotate the INPUT 2 TRIM knob all the way to the
left, and connect a mic to one of the INPUT 2 jacks.
Microphones will generally connect to the XLR
inputs, although some will have plugs that can con-
nect to the TRS balanced phone jacks. Additionally,
some microphones require phantom power from the
mixer. Each of the D3200’s XLR inputs are equipped
with switchable phantom power supplies. Be sure
and choose the right connection for your micro-
phone. And never connect or disconnect a micro-
phone while the phantom power is on.

(3) Connect the stereo outputs from a keyboard to a

pair of TRS phone jack inputs.
Rotate the INPUT 3 and 4 TRIM knobs all the way to the left, and connect the
outputs of your keyboard to the INPUT 3 and 4 phone jacks.
