Stereo Inputs STEREO 1/2

These accept 3-pole ‘A’ gauge jacks, or 2-pole mono jacks which will automatically ground

the ‘cold’ input. Use these inputs for sources such as keyboards, drum machines, synths,

tape machines or as returns from processing units. The input is BALANCED for low

noise and immunity from interference, but you can use UNBALANCED sources by

wiring up the jacks as shown, although you should then keep cable lengths as short as

possible to minimise interference pick-up on the cable. Note that the ring must be

grounded if the source is unbalanced.

Mono sources can be fed to both paths by plugging into the Left jack only.

Mix Inserts

The unbalanced, pre-fade Mix insert point is a break in the output signal path to allow the

connection of, for example, a compressor/limiter or graphic equaliser. The Insert is a 3-

pole ‘A’ gauge jack socket which is normally bypassed. When a jack is inserted, the

signal path is broken, just before the mix fader.

The mix signal appears on the TIP of the plug and is returned on the RING. A ‘Y’ lead

may be required to connect to equipment with separate send and return jacks as shown

below:

Mix Outputs

The MIX outputs are on XLR’s, wired as shown, and incorporate impedance balancing,

allowing long cable runs to balanced amplifiers and other equipment.

Aux Outputs

The Aux outputs are on 3-pole ‘A’ gauge jack sockets, wired as shown on the left, and

are balanced, allowing long cable runs to balanced amplifiers and other equipment.

Headphones

The PHONES output is a 3-pole ‘A’ gauge jack, wired as a stereo output as shown,

ideally for headphones of 200Ω or greater. 8Ω headphones are not recommended.
