MAIN INSERT

These

" jacks are for connecting serial

effects such as compressors, equalizers, de-

essers, or filters

. The

INSERT

point is after

the mix amps, but before the

MAIN L-R MIX

fader.

Insert cables must be wired thusly:

“tip”

This plug connects to one of the

mixer’s Channel Insert jacks.

“ring”

tip

ring

sleeve

SEND to processor

RETURN from processor

(TRS plug)

Tip = send (output to effects device)

Ring = return (input from effects device)

Sleeve = common ground (connect shield to

all three sleeves)

MAIN OUTS

These

" jacks are usually patched to the

inputs of your 2-track mixdown deck (unless

you’ve chosen to use the

TAPE OUTPUT

RCA

jacks), or to the house amplifier during live

sound sessions. To learn how signals are

routed to these outputs:

. To use these out-

puts to drive balanced inputs, connect

" TRS

(Tip-Ring-Sleeve) phone plugs like this:

Tip = + (hot)

Ring = – (cold)

Sleeve = ground

To use these outputs to drive unbalanced

inputs, connect

" TS (Tip-Sleeve) phone

plugs like this:

Tip = signal

Sleeve = ground

MONO OUTPUT

It happens to everybody sooner or later:

The forces that govern your world will demand

a monaural output from your painstakingly-

created stereo panorama. The last thing you

want to do is start twirling all your carefully-

placed

PAN

settings to one side. What to do?

Stick a cord in this

" jack, hand the other

end to Mr. Mono, and you’re done. He’s got his

mono mix and you’ve still got your stereo mix.

The

MONO

output is nothing more than a mix

of the left and right

MAIN MIX

MONO LEVEL

So, Mr. Mono comes running back, scream-

ing about the mono mix being so loud that his

camcorder is melting. Just reach for this knob

and turn it down a bit. Just the thing for send-

ing mono signals to mic inputs like camcorders,

telephone interface boxes, even answering

machines. With the pot all the way up (fully

clockwise), you’ll have 6dB of extra gain with

unity gain halfway between the one and two

o’clock positions.

POWER CONNECTION

Just in case you lose the cord provided with

the CR1604-VLZ, its power jack accepts a stan-

dard 3-prong IEC cord like those found on

most professional recorders, musical instru-

ments, and computers. At the other end of our

cord is — get this — a plug! Not a black cube

or, as we’re fond of calling them, a “wall wart.”

We did this for some very good reasons:

The CR1604-VLZ has sophisticated power

requirements that a wall wart cannot provide.

Wall warts are inconvenient, fragile, radiate huge

hum fields, hog extra jacks on your power strip

and get in the way. If you lose a wall wart, you’re

in trouble, but if you lose the CR1604-VLZ’s power

cord, you can get a new one at any electronics,

music, or computer store. You can even buy them

at Radio Shack

(part # 278-1257).

Plug the CR1604-VLZ into any standard

grounded (3-pin) AC outlet or into a power

strip of proper voltage.

WARNING: Disconnecting

the plug’s ground pin can

be dangerous. Please

don’t do it.

FUSE

The CR1604-VLZ is fused for your (and its

own) protection. If you suspect a blown fuse,

disconnect the power cord, pull the fuse drawer

out (located just below the cord receptacle)

and replace the fuse with a 1A SLO BLO, 5x20mm,

available at electronics stores or your dealer

(or a 500mA [0.5 amps] SLO BLO 5x20mm if

your CR1604-VLZ is a 220V-240V unit).
