12. FADER LEVEL control
It adjusts the level of the channel 3/4 signal and send it to the MAIN MIX outputs.
13. 2TRK 5/6 Inputs
Use these unbalanced RCA connectors to patch the output of a player, such as an analog tape deck, MP3 player, CD/DVD
player or a Personal Computer.
14. 2TRK Output
Use these unbalanced RCA connectors to send out the MAIN MIX signal to a recorder, such as an analog tape or an A/D
converter connected to a Personal Computer.
15. TO MIX / TO PHONES switch
Use this switch to route the signal coming from 2TRK input to MAIN MIX or to PHONES only.
16. BAL control
It fades the LEFT or RIGHT signal of 2TRK 5/6 channels amount to the MAIN MIX outputs.
17. 2TRK 5/6 IN LEVEL control
It adjust the level of the 2TRK 5/6 channel and send it to the MAIN MIX outputs.
18. MAIN MIX L & R jack output (balanced)
These JACK connectors (+4dBu) provide a balanced line level signal from the MAIN MIX stereo bus.
NOTE: the MAIN OUT is a true balanced output that can send the signal on a balanced line with or without a phantom
power active. So the Mi6 can also be used as a combination mixer + DI box for sending the signals to a bigger main
mixer console.
19. MAIN MIX FADER control
The MAIN MIX FADER controls the output level just before the MAIN MIX outputs and the 2TRK outputs. When the
fader is fully down the MAIN MIX is off , the "0" marking indicates a +4dBu nominal output level. Typically this fader is
set near the "0" label and left alone, but it can be used for song fadeouts or quick system-wide mutes.
20. PHONES stereo jack output
STEREO JACK connector for the headphones output: only stereo headphones with a minimum impedance of 32 Ohms
should be connected to this output.
21. PHONES LEVEL control
This controls the PHONES output's level. The signal at this output is the same as at the MAIN MIX or 2TRK Input.
22. L & R LEVEL METERS
The level meters are made of two columns of four LEDs with three colours, to indicate different ranges of signal level:
• green = shows the normal operative level of the signal (from -20 to 0 dBpeak)
• yellow = shows the nominal operative level of the signal (from 0 to +6 dBpeak)
• red = shows a high signal level (near +20 dBpeak CLIP level).
23. +48V phantom switch
This switch activates (LED on) and deactivates (LED Off) the phantom power on MIC Inputs. Most professional condenser
microphones require phantom power, which is a lower DC voltage delivered to the microphone on pin 2 and 3 of the
XLR microphone connector. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power, however phantom power will not
harm most dynamic microphones should you plug one in while the phantom power is on. Check the manual of your
microphone to find out for sure whether or not phantom power can damage it.
24. ON led
Indicates when the mixer is switched on.
25. 18V~ socket
Here’s where you plug in your mixer’s external power supply. You should always connect your power supply to the mixer
before you plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.
26. POWER switch
Switch this one on and your mixer has power. Switch it off and it doesn’t. Make sure that all master output knobs are
turned all the way down when powering your mixer up or down.
27. PRODUCT LABEL
In this label are written the most important information about the mixer, model, line voltage, consumption, serial
number.
