3 − Preparation for Use
Making stereo output connections
CAUTION
Turn the power OFF on all equipment to be connected
and set the mixer to standby before making connections.
The mixer stereo bus output is usually used as the main
output and connected to an external amplifier or speaker
system. Depending on the type of amplifier, use the
STEREO OUTPUTS standard jacks (L, R) or the RCA pin
jacks (L, R). The standard jacks provide balanced outputs,
but unbalanced cables can also be used to connect to
amplification systems with unbalanced inputs.
Stereo amplifier
Using the MONO jack instead of the L and R jacks is •
convenient when connecting to a mono amplifier.
Using both the STEREO OUTPUTS and SUB OUTPUTS
•
is convenient for connecting two amplification or
speaker systems at the same time, including setups
with main and sub speakers or main and monitor
speakers. Each output pair has a dedicated fader, so
you can set their levels independently with the mixer.
By connecting the SUB OUTPUTS to a recorder, you
•
can record the same stereo mix signal as it is output
from an amplification or speaker system.
Connecting headphones
To monitor with headphones, connect stereo headphones to
the
PHONES jack on the top panel.
Making input sound source connections
CAUTION
Turn the power OFF on the mixer and all equipment to
be connected before making connections.
Connecting mics
Connect mics to the channel 1–6 MIC input jacks (XLR).
When using condenser mics that require phantom power,
turn the
PHANTOM (+48V) switch on the rear panel ON.
Connect mics to MIC (1-6)
Use the PHANTOM (+48V) switch to turn the phantom
power supply to all channels (1–6) ON or OFF simultane-
ously. When the
PHANTOM (+48V) switch is ON, if you
want to use dynamic mics at the same time as condenser
mics, always connect the dynamic mics using balanced
connections.
