1. MONO INPUT SECTION
(1) COMBINED MIC XLR / 1/4” LINE INPUT
The Mic input is an electronically balanced XLR type
designed to accept signals from any balanced low impedance
(Low Z) microphone. To accommodate condenser
microphones, this input is also equipped with +48VDC
phantom power globally switchable to all XLR input jacks with
the Phantom Power switch (33). Dynamic or ribbon-type
microphones do not require phantom powering. It will be
necessary to adjust the channel gain with the input Trim
control (3) to achieve a nominal operating level. The XLR
jack is configured for: Pin1 = ground, Pin2 = positive (+), Pin3
= negative (-).
[Note: The Mic inputs are more sensitive than the Line inputs.
Also, do not connect mics with the phantom power switched
on, as indicated by the Phantom Power On LED (34) in the
Master Section of the front panel. Never use unbalanced mic
cables with the Phantom Power switched on. Never short the
+48VDC to ground, as that can cause serious damage to
your mixer. Also, mute the Monitor/PA speakers when turning
the phantom power on or off.]
The 1/4” Line input is designed to accept balanced or
unbalanced line-level signals such as those from keyboards,
drum machines, or samplers. There is enough gain available
on the line input to accept even lower level signals, such as
those from an unbalanced microphone or guitar output. Use
the Trim control (3) to adjust for the desired level. If a
balanced signal is to be connected to the line input, then a
1/4" TRS (stereo) phone plug should be wired for: Tip =
positive (+), Ring = negative (-), Sleeve = ground.
(2) INSERTS
Channels 1 and 2 are equipped with insert jacks to connect
external signal processors, such as compressors, noise
reduction systems, or effects devices, to the individual input
channels. Insert points are useful for adding dynamic
processing or equalization to a channel. The signal is
intercepted post Trim and pre EQ, fed through the external
device, then returned to the console at the same point where
it left. The insert point is normalized, i.e., the signal is only
interrupted when a connector is plugged into it. The insert
jack is configured as: Tip = send, Ring = return, Sleeve =
ground.
(3) TRIM CONTROL
The trim control adjusts the input sensitivity (channel gain) of
the mic and line inputs on the mono input channels. This
control can be adjusted to accommodate input signals from a
wide variety of sources, from the high outputs from keyboards
or drum machines to the small signal outputs of microphones.
This wide range eliminates the need for Mic/Line switching.
