Operating the MDR6
USING AN EXTERNAL EFFECT
If you want to use an external device for effects processing, you
can easily connect the unit using the MDR6 AUX bus. Follow the
simple steps below to interface your processor:
1. Set the L/R mix faders to the "0" position.
2. Raise the AUX RETURN knobs for the channels to which you
want the external effect to be applied.
3. Set the input level of the external effect so that the sound is not
distorted and so that the effect’s input meter does not indicate
a clipped signal.
4. Use the AUX control to adjust the level of the effects processed
by the external effects device.
PLAYING BACK A CD USING2TK LEVEL
The MDR6 has a dedicated input for playing back a CD, Tape or
Mini Disk, which is heard in the Control Room and Headphone
outputs. Below is a description of how you can play back a CD, Tape or MD using the MDR6’s 2 TRACK INPUT.
• Turn the CONTROL ROOM level control all the way down.
• Adjust the2TK LEVEL control a bit below the "O " position.
• Start playback on the CD, Tape or MD player.
• Now raise the CONTROL ROOM level until you reach a
comfortable listening level.
For more information see the section "Mixing a 2-track with the
Stereo MIX" on page 8 in this manual.

SENDING AN INDEPENDENT MIX TO THE MONITOR SPEAKERS
The MDR6’s AUX send can be used to feed a separate set of amplifiers and loudspeakers for stage monitors. This lets you
build one stereo mix for the amplifiers and speakers facing the audience and the other mono mix for the amplifiers and
monitor speakers facing the musicians.
1. Raise the AUX controls for the channels that you wish to hear from the monitor speakers.
NOTE: The AUX controls are "PRE-FADER SENDS" which means they are not affected by the FADER level settings
of each channel. This allows you to create a mix for the monitors that is independent of the main LEFT and RIGHT
MIX.
2. In order to get the most gain from your monitor mix, use an external graphic equalizer like a Samson S curve 131 to cut
out any frequencies that cause feedback.
