1 MIC/LINE INPUT jacks 1–8
(XLR/TRS Phone)
These balanced input jacks accept both XLR-3-31 and
TRS phone plug type connectors. Nominal input sensitiv-
ity can be adjusted from –46 dBu to +4 dBu. Just about
any type of balanced source can be connected here –
microphones, direct boxes, or the output from equipment
with balanced line-level outputs. Unbalanced lines with
standard phone plug connectors can be directly connected
to the TRS inputs. Connector wiring is as shown below.
B MIC/LINE INPUT jack 8 (Hi-Z)
This is a high impedance 1/4" phone input jack (unbal-
anced). The nominal input level is –46 to +4 dBu. An
instrument with high output impedance such as an electric
guitar or bass with passive-type pickups can be connected
here.
C STEREO/AUX OUT jacks
These are 1/4" phone output jacks (unbalanced) that out-
put the signals of the stereo bus or AUX bus 1/2.
D MONITOR OUT jacks
These are 1/4" phone output jacks (unbalanced) for con-
nection to your monitor setup, such as a stereo system or
powered speakers.
E PHONES jack
This is a 1/4" TRS phone output jack for connecting your
headphones for monitoring.
