Inputs:
On the rear panel there are 2 rows of XLR connectors Numbered 1 – 16. These
correspond with the Pan controls and monitor control on the front panel.
These are Balanced XLR Inputs, but are equally capable of accepting an
unbalanced signal without the 6dB loss often associated with sending an
unbalanced signal into a balanced input.
¼” Jacks on Rear Panel:
INSERT L R
2T RET
AUX O/P
L R
Inserts:
There are two TRS ¼” Jacks marked Insert L and R. These are unbalanced
inserts to allow you to insert outboard equipment across the busses (such as a
compressor). The inserts can be used as unbalanced or balanced inserts,
providing the correct cable is used. (see connections and functions for wiring
detail).
Aux O/P:
The Auxillary Output ¼” Jacks are unbalanced outputs. These outputs can be
used to drive external monitoring amplifiers or other equipment. The Auxiliary
signal is monitored after the Bus and Stereo Width stage, but before the Main
Output level control and Output Transformers. The Auxiliary Output level is
independently controlled by the Aux Level Control on the front panel.
