With a footswitch connected to this jack, you can turn on
and off the on-board digital effects by simply stepping on
the footswitch.
J- EFX OUT- 1/4-inch jack
The EFX OUT (AUX 3) output is used to send a signal to an
external signal processor such as a delay or reverb. The
signal present at the AUX 3 output is sent from the AUX3/
DSP bus, which is fed from the AUX3/DSP send on the
input channels. TR phone jack connector pin-out - Sleeve:

sent to the MONO/SUB output. The volume of the Mono
signal can be adjusted using the MONO/SUB OUT level
fader control and used to feed a speaker zone in a fixed
installation. For added flexibility, the MONO/SUB OUT can
be used to a feed a subwoofer using the onboard variable
Low Pass Filter. TR phone jack connector pin-out - Sleeve:

O - AUX OUT (1 and 2) - 1/4-inch jacks
The signal present at the AUX 1and Aux 2 outputs are sent
from the AUX 1 and AUX 2 bus, which is fed from the AUX
1 and AUX 2 control knobs on the input channels. The
AUX 1 and AUX 2 are normally used as a MONITOR MIX
bus in a live sound situation by connecting the output to
a power amp and monitor speaker. TR phone jack connec-
tor pin-out - Sleeve: Ground, Tip: Hot (+).
P - MAIN OUT - 1/4-inch jacks
In a live sound application, you can drive a second speak-
er system using MAIN OUT outputs connected to a power
amplifier or powered speakers. The signal at the MAIN
OUT jacks follows the MAIN volume fader. TR phone jack

application, the MAIN OUT 2 outputs are used to connect
a stereo device such as computer sound card, MP3, or cas-
sette recorder. The signal at the MAIN OUT jacks follows
the MAIN OUT 2 level control knob allowing you to set a
different level to the recorder. TR phone jack connector
