IMPORTANT:
Do not connect speaker outputs of an amplifier to the System Mix. Doing so may cause serious
damage to your mixer and your amplifier. The System Mix inputs are intended for line level
signals only.
General
Mix 1 consists of three pairs of Left and Right inputs, two Passive Split outputs, and two pairs of
MIX 1 outs. All of these jacks are for mono plugs, and are intended for line level signals.
For mono signals, use only the Left input and the signal will feed into both the Left and Right
channels.
After the three inputs are combined, their overall volume is controlled by the MIX 1 knob on the
front panel, and the resulting signal is passed to the two sets of Mix 1 Out jacks, and to Mix 2
(see below).
Mix 1 In 1 and the Passive Split
You will blend the outputs of your effects with the pure tone of your preamp. In most cases, the
output of your preamp (or your amp's effect send) will be connected to Mix 1 In 1. The Passive
Split outputs are copies of the signal coming in Mix 1 In 1. These outputs are used to drive the
inputs of your effects devices.
Mix 1 Outputs
There are two identical stereo pairs of outputs for Mix 1. Mix 1 is also internally connected to
Mix 2. These outputs can be used to drive the inputs of more stereo effects devices for a second
"stage" of processing. The outputs of these effects can then be connected to Mix 2 inputs. In this
way you can have two stages of parallel effects, one cascading into another. In Section 4 you will
see how it all comes together in a system.
