7 MONITOR OUTPUTS
The Monitor Outputs are on 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4”) jacks and are impedance balanced.
8 HEADPHONES SOCKET
The PHONES output is a 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4”) jack, wired as a stereo output, ideally for headphones of
32Ω or greater. 8Ω headphones are not recommended.
9 METERS
The three-colour peak reading BARGRAPH METERS normally show the level of the signal(s) selected by
the monitor source-select switches, giving you a constant warning of excessive peaks in the signal(s)
which might cause overloading. Aim to keep the signal within the amber segments at peak levels for best
performance.
Similarly, if the output level is too low and hardly registering at all on the meters, the level of background
noise may become signicant. Take care to set up the input levels for best performance.
10 RECORD OUTPUTS
These two RCA outputs carry a copy of the MIX L and MIX R signals. They allow the use of a recording device,
e.g. PC, cassette tape recorder, hard-disk recorder etc.
11 AUX (Notepad 124)/FX BUS (Notepad 124FX) OUTPUT
This output is on a 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4”) jack and is impedance balanced.
MIX OUTPUTS
12 MIX FADER
The MIX FADER sets the nal level of the Mix outputs. This should normally be set close to the ‘0’ mark if
the input GAIN settings have been correctly set, to give maximum travel on the fader for smoothest control.
13 MIX OUTPUTS
The Mix LEFT and RIGHT outputs are sent from the 1/4” jack sockets as balanced signals.
FX PROCESSOR - NOTEPAD 124FX Only
For detailed instructions on using the FX Processor see the section which starts on the next page.
14 FX TO MAIN
This control regulates the signal level being fed from the FX processor to the MAIN mix L and R outputs.
