Before installing and using your unit, carefully examine the packaging and all contents for any signs of physical damage that may have occurred in transit.
CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS 1. MONO INPUT SECTION (29) INSERTS Channels 1-4 (SRM-12X) and 1-6 (SRM-14X) are equipped with rear panel insert jacks to connect external signal processors, such as compressors, noise reduction systems, or effects devices, to the individual input channels. Insert points are useful for adding dynamic processing or equalization to a channel or the mix. Unlike reverbs etc., which are usually added to the dry signal, dynamic processing is normally applied across an entire signal.
CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (6) AUX SEND 1, 2 CONTROLS Both Aux Sends are mono and post-EQ and control the level of the signals sent to the AUX buses. Low Cut filter (3) is an integral part of the overall equalization of a mono channel. The channel EQ is a valuable feature of the mixer as it allows the user to control the tonal characteristics of each instrument separately.
CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS 2. STEREO INPUT SECTION (6) AUX SENDS These are the same as for the mono channels. Note that a mono sum is taken from the stereo input. (15A) (16) BAL CONTROL For a mono input to the L (MONO) input the function of the control is the same as the PAN controls (7) of the mono channels.
CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS 3. MASTER SECTION (12) (14) (13) (11) (15A) (17) (18) (15B) a. AUX Sends/Returns Function and Operation (11) STEREO AUX RETURNS (LEFT/MONO, RIGHT) (19) AUX 1,2 RETURN CONTROLS The AUX Return jacks are the mono or stereo returns for AUX 1 and 2.
CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS (22) (24) (26) (19) (20) (27) The Phones Output will feed headphones and is a 1/4" TRS jack, wired: tip = left signal, ring = right signal, sleeve = ground. etc., input to the Tape Input (13) is determined by the setting of the output volume control of the audio device being connected, so care must be taken in adjusting this level so as to achieve proper balance in the final mix and to prevent overload distortion.
