MIXPAD 12 / MIXPAD 9 Jackfield
1: Aux Sends (1, 2) - These unbalanced 1/4" outputs allow you to route
signal from each of the two discrete Aux Sends to external devices such
as effects processors. Aux send 1 is pre-fade but post-EQ, while Aux
send 2 is both post-fade and post-EQ. See the “Using the Aux Sends
and Returns” section on page 32 in this manual for more information.
2: Main out (L, R) - These are the MIXPAD’s main outputs. You’ll
usually use these to connect the MIXPAD to a tape recorder or to a
power amp and loudspeakers. The Main out jacks are electronically
balanced, so you should use balanced three-conductor cabling and TRS
plugs wherever possible (unbalanced two-conductor plugs can also be
inserted into these outputs, but you’ll get better signal quality and less
outside noise and hum if you use balanced lines). See the “Connecting
the MIXPAD” section on page 19 in this manual for more information.
3: Aux Returns (1/2, 3/4) - These inputs allow you to route signal from
external devices such as effects processors to either of the MIXPAD's
two stereo Aux Returns. These jacks accept unbalanced 1/4" TRS
plugs, with the tip carrying the left signal and the ring carrying the right
signal (sleeve is common ground). See the “Using the Aux Sends and
Returns” section on page 32 in this manual for more information.
