Recording Out (D.I.) – This fully balanced XLR output allows you to send
a pre- or post-EQ signal to a recording or sound reinforcement mixing
console. We use Pin 2 hot configuration. Adjusting the Master Volume
control will not affect this send. This output is designed to use with phantom
powered systems. However, it never hurts to turn off the phantom power at
the board, if possible.
D.I. Level – Controls the level being sent from the XLR balanced output
jack. We suggest setting the control at approximately 12 o’clock initially. If
the signal to the board is too hot, it’s better to engage the Input Pad on your
channel of the board than to turn it down here, if at all possible. In general,
it’s better (in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic presentation) to
send as hot a signal as possible to the board. However, you can adjust the
signal level, if necessary, so make sure your soundperson or recording
engineer is aware of this capability.
Ground Lift Switch – This switch lifts the ground within the balanced
output system to allow you to eliminate excessive noise/ground loops when
connected to external systems.
Speaker Output – These consist of three 1/4-inch jacks. The jacks are wired
in parallel. The total speaker load impedance should not go below 2 ohms.
Tuner Out Jack – This standard 1/4-inch jack is designed to provide a pre-
gain signal for connection to a tuner. It can also be used to provide pre-tone
signal to other devices such as a direct box or console. The signal is enough
to provide adequate signal to virtually every tuner on the market.
Aux. Inputs (L and R) - These standard 1/4-inch input jacks are designed to
accept the signal from an external source such as a CD or cassette player,
drum machine, synth. module, etc. The signal is summed (added in) after the
tone controls but before the Master Volume control, and is sent to all
outputs, including the DI.
Mono Pre-EQ Effects Sends/Returns – These standard 1/4-inch jacks
allow you to send and receive your signal to and from external devices. Each
channel has its own Effects Loop. These are positioned post (behind) the
compressor and the Enhance control, and before the tone section. These
loops are at line level; do not use instrument level effects in this loop as they
tend to be overloaded by the higher signal level which can cause distortion.
