INSERT Both MIX1 and MIX2 provide insert points for left and right channels. You do
not need to plug anything into the insert socket for normal operation. It is a break point
that lets you plug in an external signal processor such as a limiter or equaliser if required.
Plugging in a jack breaks the signal path after the buss mix amp and before the master
fader. The signal is unbalanced and operates at a nominal –2dBu line level. Use a TRS
jack wired as shown above to connect the SEND to the processor input and the RETURN
from the processor output. The sleeve provides the common ground for cable screening.
Use a TRS Y-adapter and two standard jack leads or wire two leads to a TRS plug.

L R XLR OUTPUTS The MIX1 and MIX2 main left and right outputs are on differentially
balanced XLR connectors. 3 Pin female XLR plugs are required to connect these.
Connect to balanced equipment for maximum interference rejection on long cable runs.
To connect to unbalanced equipment link Pin 3 to Pin 1 in the XLR plug as shown.
Signal level is a nominal +4dBu (0 on the meters). Typical uses include feeds to
amplifier/speakers systems, stereo submix to main console, recording and broadcast.
MIX1 can provide a stereo group output when configured as a subgroup to MIX2 by
pressing a tamperproof front panel switch.

MONO OUTPUT This provides a sum of the post-fader MIX2 left and right signals. The
output is differentially balanced XLR operating at a nominal +4dBu. Connect to balanced
or unbalanced equipment as described above for the L R outputs. Typical uses include
feeding mono speaker, submix, centre fill, sub bass, mono zone, sound to light and
recording systems.

MIX2 L R TRS OUTPUTS Stereo MIX2 is available on a pair of 3 pole TRS jack sockets
in addition to the XLR outputs. These are impedance balanced to reduce noise pickup
on long cable runs. Connect to balanced or unbalanced equipment as shown above.
The signal is the same as the post-fader XLR output but operating 6dB lower at a
nominal –2dBu. Typical uses include feeding a stereo recorder, additional stereo zone,
or as an alternative to the XLR outputs.
