(13) MIC/LINE IN Combo XLR Connector

MIC/ LINE IN connects directly to the MIC pre-amp gain stage. This combo connector

accepts balanced signals on eitheranXLRconnectoror¼”TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) plug.

TheXLRconnectorisbestsuitedformicrophoneswhereasthe¼”inputisbestforline

levelinputs.SignalsattheXLRconnectorhavethemostavailablegainwhilethe¼”Line

input has the most headroom (to accommodate Line Level amplitude).

We recommend you always connect balanced signals to the MIC/LINE IN connector.

When connecting an unbalanced signal to the MIC pre-amp, we recommend using the

INSTIN¼”jack.TheXLRconnectorisnotsuitedforunbalancedsignals.

Note:PhantompowerisappliedtotheXLRinput,notthe¼”jack.

(14)INSTIN¼”Phonejack

Use the high impedance (Hi-Z) INST IN jack to connect instruments, and other

unbalanced signals.

When you insert a plug into the INST IN jack the input to the MIC pre-amp is mixed with

the MIC/LINE input and the GAIN control act on both INST and MIC/LINE inputs

simultaneously.

EFFECTS LOOP CONNECTIONS

(15)TOFX¼”Phonejack- Effects Send

A balanced/unbalanced output capable of connecting to a wide range of devices from

effects pedals to rack systems or just about anything with an audio input. The signal sent

outof“TOFX”comesdirectlyfromtheMICpre-amp gain stage; the output level of the

effects send can therefore be controlled with the INPUT GAIN knob. When the FX Loop is

deactivated(FXLOOPLEDisoff),“TOFX”sendismuted.

(16)FROMFX¼”Phonejack– Effects Return

A balanced/unbalanced input with capable of connecting to a wide range of devices from

effects pedals to rack systems. The input signal at the“FROMFX”jackistheFXsignalfor

the MIX knob.

(17)AUX1/8”Phonejack– Connect to mobile device

The“AUX”jackisabi-directional connector on a four conductor(TRRS)1/8”miniphone

jackforconnectingtomobiledevices.Itsendsoutthemono“TOFX”sendsignaland

receives back a stereo signal. The stereo return remains stereo for the PHONES output

butisconvertedtomonoforthe“TOAMP”and“DI/LINEOUT”outputs.

The source device (the mobile device) controls the volume of the signal into the AUX

connector thereby controlling its volume in the mix with the MIC pre-amp output and the

FX Return.
