AUX 1 RETURN LEFT/RIGHT
The AUX 1 RETURN LEFT/RIGHT are
stereo inputs that are generally used
to connect the outputs of an effects
processor, but can also accept the sig-
nal from any line level source like a
keyboard, recorder and even another
mixer. The signal connected to the AUX 1 RETURN LEFT/RIGHT will feed the main LEFT/RIGHT MIX bus.
The overall level is controlled by the AUX 1 RET knob located in the master section on the front panel.
AUX 2 RETURN LEFT/RIGHT
The AUX 2 RETURN LEFT/RIGHT are stereo inputs that are generally used to connect the outputs of an
effects processor, but can also accept the signal from any line level source like a keyboard, recorder and
even another mixer. The signal connected to the AUX 2 RETURN LEFT/RIGHT will feed the main
LEFT/RIGHT MIX bus. The overall level is controlled by the AUX 2 RET knob located in the master section
on the front panel.
AC INLET
Connected the supplied Samson AC adapter here. Before connecting the supply, make sure that the MDR8
POWER and PHANTOM POWER switches are in the off position.
AUX 1 Output
The signal present at the AUX 1 output is sent from the AUX 1/ MON bus, which is fed from the AUX 1/
MON send on the input channels. The AUX 1 output can be used as the MONITOR MIX bus in a live sound
situation by connecting the output to a power amp and monitor speaker.
AUX 2 OUTPUT
The AUX 2 output is used to send a signal to an external signal processor such as a delay or reverb. The
signal present at the AUX 2 output is sent from the AUX2/DSP bus, which is fed from the AUX2/DSP send
on the input channels.
CONTROL ROOM LEFT/RIGHT
The Control Room outputs are used to connect a studio monitor system. The Control Room outputs have
the same output as the L/R MIX, however, the level can be adjusted independently from the main mix using
the C ROOM/HEADPHONES control.
LEFT/RIGHT MIX
In a live sound application the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX outputs are connected to a power amplifier or powered
speakers. In a recording application, the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX outputs are used to connect a stereo device
such as computer sound card, DAT, or cassette recorder.
MONO OUTPUT
The Left and Right Mix outputs are summed together and sent to the MONO output. The level of the Mono
signal can be adjusted using the MONO OUT level control located just below the connector and used to
feed a speaker zone in a fixed installation.
