2 Controls, Indicators and

Connections

2.1 Input Mono

HINT: When connecting signal sources, please make sure to set the corresponding channel faders

or at least the master faders to their minimum positions or engage the STANDBY switch.

This will save you, your audience, and the equipment from extensive wear from unpleasant

pops.

1 - MIC

Electronically balanced XLR-type inputs for the connection of low impedance microphones like the

ones featured in major studio and live mixing consoles. This type of input stage provides extraordinary

low noise signal conversion at an extremely low distortion rate (typical < 0.002%) even in the high fre-

quency range. Generally, any type of microphone can be connected as long as its pin assignment is in

accordance to the diagram shown below. When condenser microphones are connected, you have to

press the PHANTOM POWER button, which is located in the input section. The microphone gets its

operating voltage (+48 V DC) through the mixer. PHANTOM POWER is activated/deactivated for all 6

MIC inputs together.

The MIC input accepts levels between -60 dBu and +11 dBu – depending on the setting of the corre-

sponding gain control. Because of the low impedance and the switchable PHANTOM POWER the XLR

input is preferred for MIC applications. Because of the higher level and impedance matching the LINE

input should be preferred for connecting further mixers, effect units, keyboards etc.

2 - LINE

Electronically balanced inputs for the connection of electronic instruments, such as keyboards, drum

machines, E-guitars and E-basses with an active output, as well as all other high level signal sources,

like additional mixers, FX units, CD players, etc. The LINE input accepts levels between -40 dBu and

+31 dBu. The connection of balanced or unbalanced signal sources is established through monaural

or stereo phone plugs, assigned according to the diagram below. If the device that you want to connect

has a balanced output stage, the use of balanced cables with stereo phone plugs is preferable. This

type of connection is greatly insensitive to the induction of external noise or HF interference.

Do not connect identical signal sources to LINE and MIC inputs at the same time, since the signals

would interfere with each other, resulting in level reduction.
