1 ANALOG INPUT jacks (monaural)
These monaural channel input jacks are used to connect
microphones or musical instruments. Each input channel
features two types of jacks (INPUT A and INPUT B).
INPUT A jacks
These are balanced XLR-type input jacks.
INPUT B jacks
These are balanced TRS phone-type input jacks that
also support unbalanced connections.
You may use either of these jacks, but you may not
NOTE
use both at the same time. If you connect cables to
both jacks, INPUT B jack will take priority.
2 INSERT I/O jacks
These phone-type unbalanced I/O jacks are
positioned immediately before the A/D converter.
You can connect your effects processor or other
devices directly to these input channels.
These are TRS phone jacks that support bidirectional
NOTE
operation. Connection to an INSERT I/O jack
requires a special insertion cable as illustrated below.
Use a separately-sold Yamaha insertion cable
(YIC025/050/070).

3 ANALOG INPUT jacks (stereo)
These are stereo input jacks that connect line-level
instruments, such as a synthesizer. Two jack types
are provided: phone type and RCA pin type.
Phone type
These are unbalanced stereo input jacks.
RCA pin type
These are unbalanced stereo input jacks.
Connect odd channels to the L jacks, and even
channels to the R jacks. If you connect only odd
channels to the phone-type jacks, the same signals
will be fed to the even channels, resulting in
monaural inputs.
If you connect cables to both phone type and RCA
NOTE
pin type jacks, signals are mixed before the [GAIN]
control, then input to the corresponding channel.
4 2TR IN jacks
Use these unbalanced RCA pin jacks to input a
stereo sound source.
Use these jacks when you want to connect a CD or
other music source to the n8/n12 for monitoring.
You can adjust the level of signals input via these
jacks using the [2TR TO ST] control (page 16) in the
Master Control section.
