To Another Mixer; To A Stereo Tape Recorder - Alesis Studio 12R Reference Manual

To another mixer

The main or monitor outputs of the Studio 12R may be connected
to a larger mixing console. Consult the manual for the other mixer
for more information. If the mixer has "SUB IN" jacks, connect to
those. Alternatively, you may simply connect the MAIN OUT or
MONITOR OUT jacks of the Studio 12R to two line-level inputs on
the other mixer. If you do, check to see what level those inputs are
designed for.
• If the inputs of the other mixer can handle +4 dBu balanced or -2
dBu unbalanced levels, simply connect the [MAIN OUT
BALANCED] outputs to the other mixer's line inputs.
• If the inputs are designed for -10 dBV level inputs (such as most
keyboard and guitar amplifiers, and consumer stereo amplifiers),
connect the [MAIN OUT -10 dBV] outputs to the line inputs of
the external mixer.
If the connection is made properly, the Studio 12R will not distort
the input of the other mixer. You may need to adjust the input
trim of the other mixer to get the best dynamic range.

To a stereo tape recorder

If you want to record the output of the mixer into a typical stereo
cassette or DAT deck, connect the [MAIN OUT -10 dBV] phono jacks
to the left and right inputs of the cassette deck using a standard
stereo phono-to-phono (RCA) cable.
If your recorder is a professional type with balanced +4 inputs, in
most cases you should connect the [MAIN OUT BALANCED] jacks
of the mixer to the inputs of the recorder.
If you connect the [MONITOR OUT] jacks to the recorder, the
level will be affected by the [PHONES/MONITOR] level control on
the front panel. However, if you're using the [TAPE IN] jacks to
monitor playback, you run the risk of feedback if you press the
MSTR/TAPE switch while in record mode.
