Module connector (4) accepts balanced microphones and balanced line-level inputs.
XLR (input & output) Pin 1 Shield
Pin 2 Signal +
Pin 3 Signal -
In the case of unbalanced line-inputs and outputs, pins 1 & 3 should be connected.
This will not lead to a loss of level.
Channel direct outputs (12) are at line level and unbalanced
Main stereo (2), mono (1) and auxiliary outputs (10) are transformer balanced and are
at line level.
The auxiliary outputs appear on two ‘A’ type stereo jacks.
The electronically-balanced stereo tape-return enters the mixer on two standard, ‘A’
type stereo jacks (9); left and right. Adjacent is the input calibration preset. For a
0dBu return signal, the system is calibrated when the preset is fully counter-clockwise.
From that point 20dB gain is available for lower level signals.
Unbalanced headphone monitor output appears on an ‘A’ type stereo jack (5). This
output is capable of driving 25R at 0dBu.

The 6-pin XLR connector, SUB (8), carries all signals to and from an outstation.
Reverse-talkback level may be set by REV TB preset (3).

The unbalanced send is low impedance with a capability of driving headphones of 25
ohms impedance or greater.
The balanced (or unbalanced) signal from the outstation may be at mic level or line
level. The mixer leaves the factory set for a line-level return, but the gain of the return
amplifier may be increased by 20dB via the DIL switch on the sub board attached to
the connector panel. Preset (9) controls the level of the return - which feeds on to the
PFL mixing buss and is routed by grounding the control line (Pin 6) at the external
source.
Thus, a two-way conversation can take place between mixer and boom operator with
the boom operator being able to listen to programme when no communication is
taking place. The programme is selected using a bank of five push-switches. Either a
main output signal or the boom signal (If the boom microphone is in input 1) can be
