CAUTION

Connecting a dynamic mic with an unbalanced

connection could damage it if the PHANTOM (+48V)
switch is ON.
Do not connect or disconnect mics when the

PHANTOM (+48V) switch is ON. Doing so could cause
loud noise or damage the equipment.

When the PHANTOM (+48V) switch is ON (and the

mixer power is ON) the +48V indicator lights on the
right side of the meter panel.
The XLR connector #2 pins are “hot” on this mixer.

Connecting synthesizers, other sound sources

and audio equipment (line level sound sources)

Line level sound sources can be connected to every chan-
nel (1–16). However, the types of jacks and mixer functions
differ depending on the channel. Channels 7–16 are five
pairs of stereo channels, and channels 9-10 can also be
connected to a record player.

Channels 1–6

ª

Connect using the standard (

LINE

) jacks. These jacks

are balanced, but they can also be connected with unbal-
anced sound sources.

Use the

TRIM

knobs on the top panel to adjust the input

levels (see “Adjusting levels ” on page 18). The mixer
channel functions include a high-pass filter, a 3-band
EQ, AUX 1 and 2 sends and pan.

Channels 7-8

ª

Connect a stereo sound source using standard jacks (L,

R). These jacks are balanced, but they can also be con-
nected with unbalanced sound sources.

If a mono sound source is connected to the L jack, the L

input signal is sent to both channels 7 and 8.

The mixer channel functions include a 2-band EQ, AUX

1 and 2 sends and balance.

Channels 9-10

ª

Connect a stereo sound source using RCA pin jack jacks

(L, R).

A record player can be connected to these jacks. When

doing so, press in the

PHONO ON

switch on the top

panel. In addition, connect the grounding wire from the
record player to the

SIGNAL GND

jack.

The mixer channel functions include a 2-band EQ, AUX

1 and 2 sends and balance.

Channels 11-12

ª

Connect a stereo sound source using RCA pin jack

jacks (L, R).

On M-164UF mixers, the stereo audio output from a

computer connected by USB is also input to channels
11-12. The signals from these channels can also be sent
to AUX 1.

Channels 13-14

ª

Connect a stereo sound source using standard jacks (L,

R). These jacks are balanced, but they can also be con-
nected with unbalanced sound sources.

If a mono sound source is connected to the

L

jack, the L

input signal is sent to both channels 13 and 14.

On M-164FX and M-164UF mixers, if the

INT. EFFECT

RTN

switch is not pushed in, the internal effects return

signal is input to channels 13-14.

CAUTION

On M-164FX and M-164UF mixers, when connecting

an external sound source to the standard jacks of
channels 13-14, push the INT. EFFECT RTN switch
in to set channels 15-16 as the internal effects
return channels. If the INT. EFFECT RTN switch is not
pushed in, the signal from the external sound source
connected to the standard jacks of channels 13-14 and
the internal effects return signal will interfere with
each other and neither signal will be input correctly.
The signals from channels 13-14 can also be sent to

AUX 1.

Channels 15-16

ª

Connect a stereo sound source to the

STEREO IN

jack

on the top panel. This stereo mini-jack is convenient for
connecting iPods and similar devices.

CAUTION

On M-164FX and M-164UF mixers, when a plug is
connected to the STEREO IN jack, this external input is
prioritized even if the INT. EFFECT RTN switch is pushed
in, setting channels 15-16 as the internal effects return
channels. As a result, the effects signal will not be
returned to these channels. Therefore, when using this
jack, set the internal effects return to channels 13-14.

On the M-164FX and M-164UF models, the signals from

channels 15-16 can also be sent to AUX 1.

Setting the internal effects return channels

(M-164FX and M-164UF)

When using the internal effects of an M-164FX or
M-164UF mixer, either channels 13-14 or 15-16 can be used
as the return channels. Use the

INT. EFFECT RTN

switch

to select the return channels.

When using the channel 13-14 input jacks on the rear
panel, push the

INT. EFFECT RTN

switch in to select chan-

nels 15-16 as the return channels. When using the channel
