Using the Direct Outputs

The rear panel Direct Outputs provide a unity-gain pass-through of each input signal, pre-processing — allowing you to share a

common aux/group feed across multiple MM 42s or to feed elsewhere.

For example, create a single or stereo “full band” mix for a group of background singers, and send this feed from the console to

Line Inputs A and B of the MM 42. Augment each person’s mix with an individual feed to Line Input C of each MM 42. Connect

Direct Outs A and B to Inputs A and B of another MM 42. Repeat the process to daisy chain multiple MM 42s together. Use the

front panel Input Levels to set the relative balance between mix elements (full band versus solo instrument) for each performer.
