Yamaha RM602 - Manual (Page 8)

REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
REAR PANEL
1. CHANNEL INPUTS
These jacks are the main inputs to the RM602's six input
channels. They accept both line-level and microphone
input depending on the setting of the respective input
selector switch. Standard 1/4" phone jacks insure com­
patibility with just about any electronic instrument or
microphone.
2. EFFECTS SEND AND RETURN
The output from the EFFECTS SEND jack is fed to
the input of an external signal processing device such
as delay or reverb (The Yamaha 015СЮ is a superb
digital delay unit, while the R1000 offers high-quality
reverb effects).
The output from the external signal processing device
is then fed back to the EFFECTS RETURN jack from
which it is mixed with the main stereo program via the
EFFECTS RETURN level control. When the EFFECTS
RETURN signal is received in stereo, input to both the
EFFECTS RETURN L and R terminals; when received in
mono, input to the L terminal.
3. PHONE EQ AMP INPUTS AND GND TERMINAL
The RM602 has a built-in phono equalizer amplifier
which makes it possible to directly connect the stereo
outputs from a conventional turntable (record player) to
these inputs, permitting the phono signal to be used
alone or mixed with other inputs. The left and right
phono channels feed input channels 5 and 6 when the
channel 5 and 6 input selectors are set to PHONO L
and PHONO R, respectively.
Be sure to connect the ground wire from the phone
player to the GND terminal. When the turntable is not
connected, insert a short plug into the PHONO terminal.
4. TAPE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Four inputs and outputs are provided for direct connec­
tion to a 4-channel multitrack tape deck —such as the
Yamaha MT44D or MT44. The outputs from the tape
deck connect to the RM602 TAPE IN jacks, and the
tape deck inputs connect to the RM602 TAPE OUT
jacks. The tape inputs are selected for mixdown or
monitoring by setting the appropriate channel input
selectors (channels 1 — 4 ) to TAPE. Input channels 1
through 4 feed the respective TAPE OUT jacks.
These specialized inputs and outputs mean that the tape
deck can stay connected all the time —unlike many more
expensive mixers with which you have to keep patching
and repatching cables whenever you need to change
from line to tape input.
5. AUXILIARY INPUTS
Any line-level stereo (or mono if necessary) signal can
be added to the main program by these terminals. This
is a great place to connect the outputs from a stereo
cassette deck, for example.
6. STEREO OUTPUTS
These are the main outputs from the RM602. They
carry the stereo program set up at the input channels
and AUX inputs. Both standard 1/4" phone jack and
RCA pin jack output terminals are provided.
