Main Mix

The Main Mix jacks (6) on the top panel are 1/4"

TRS unbalanced, with tip high, and ring and sleeve

tied to ground. The nominal level is +4dBu. These

two jacks carry the L/R Main Mix, for connection to

your master 2-Track recorder’s inputs, for instance.

The same Main L/R Mix is also available, fully bal-

anced, at the two XLR connectors on the back panel.

MIX-B Output

The MIX-B jacks (7) are 1/4" TRS unbalanced,

with tip high, ring and sleeve tied together as ground,

nominal level +4dBu. These jacks make the MIX-B

signal available for external patching.

Phones

The two Phones jacks (8) are 1/4" TRS stereo,

with tip connected to left, ring to right and sleeve to

ground. The final output of Phones 1 and Phones 2

appear here. These jacks may be connected to exter-

nal power amplifiers for headphone distribution, or

you may plug your phones directly into the jacks.

There is plenty of level. In fact, you should turn the

PHONES level down before you plug your phones in,

and then bring the level up to where you want it.

Studio Output

The two Studio Output jacks (9) carry the signal

for the Studio speakers. They are 1/4" unbalanced,

wired tip high, ring and sleeve ground, nominal level

+4dBu. This is where you connect the inputs to your

studio monitor amplifier.

Alternatively, the Studio Output jacks can be

wired to a second Control Room amplifier and set of

speakers. Then, to switch between the two sets, turn

the CNTRL-RM level control fully down and turn up

the STUDIO level control — or vice versa. This con-

cept is very handy during mixdown. It won’t work

very well if you plan to use any of the talkback

switches, as you would during tracking/overdubbing.

2-Track Input and External Input

The 2-Track Input (10) and External Input (11)

are 1/4" TRS unbalanced jacks, with tip wired to high

and ring and sleeve tied together to ground. These

inputs offer you the ability to listen to two mono or

stereo sources directly, without patching through in-

put channels. Either input can be connected to any

stereo source you’d like to listen to. Usually, you will

have the 2-Track Input connected to the output of

your 2-Track master recorder, to check the mix.

The inputs are directly wired to the “2-TK” and

“EXTERNAL” source selection switches in the

Phones 1 and 2 and MONITOR sections of the

Output Panel. These are +4 dBu inputs.
