200M ENTERTAINER STEREO MIXER OWNER'S MANUAL
Like the other mixer inputs, shielded cable must also
be used here.
4. EFX SEND and RETURN connections: These
jacks allow external effects such as a reverberation
unit, chorus unit, or digital delay device to be con¬
nected to the 200M.
A. EFX SEND connector
This jack sends the output signal from the mixer
to an external effects device.
B. EFX RETURN connector
Once the signal has been sent to an effects unit
for processing, it must be returned to the mixer.
The EFX RETURN jack requires a standard 1/4-
inch phone plug. The signal from this jack is
controlled by the EFX RETURN control.
Regardless of the effects used with the 200M, it is
extremely important that any "Blend" control on the
effects unit be set at 100% or full effect. If not, expect
overall volume changes when the EFX RETURN is
used.
5. SUB L INSERT connector: This jack is for adding
external signal processing devices to the left sub¬
master mix. The plug should be a tip-send, ring-
return type.
6. SUB R INSERT connector: This jack is for adding
external signal processing devices to the right sub¬
master mix.
7. SUB L OUT connector: This output is the sum of
all the inputs (channels and external) which are as¬
signed to the left submaster bus.
8. SUB R OUT connector: This output is the sum of
all the inputs (channels and external) which are as¬
signed to the right submaster bus.
9. LEFT AMP IN, RIGHT AMP IN, LEFT EQ OUT,
RIGHT EQ OUT connectors: These jacks allow
patching between the 200M's graphic equalizers and
power amplifiers. The jacks may be used to:
a. patch both internal amplifiers to one graphic
EQ output
b. patch either graphic EQ output to an external
amplifier
c. separate the internal amplifiers completely
from the 200M's mixer and equalizer circuitry
d. patch from the graphic EQ output directly to
a tape recorder for recording, where the effect
of the EQ is desired
e. patch in external equalizers, such as the S-200
The equalizers' output jacks and the amplifier input
jacks are "normaled"; therefore, patch cords are not
needed for operation. The equalizer output jacks
may be used without disrupting the signal flow to the
internal power amplifiers, however, the amplifier
input jacks will interrupt the signal coming from the
graphic EQ section when a plug is inserted.
The signals at the equalizer output jacks are line level
and can drive power amplifiers or other line-level
devices.
The power amplifier input jacks require line-level
signals ( + 10dBuforamp clipping).
Use shielded cable for all connections at this point.
10. MONITOR OUTPUT connector: The MONITOR
OUTPUT is the mix of signals from the channel
MONITOR Send controls.
11. MAIN OUTPUT connector: The MAIN OUTPUT
is a mix of the left and right (SUB L and SUB R)
outputs. It is affected by the settings of the SUB L
and SUB R controls. The mix level is adjusted by the
MAIN control. This output may be used simul¬
taneously with the SUB L and SUB R outputs (see
above) or any of the other outputs.
The Main output can also be used to advantage
where the 200M has to drive an external sound
system. For example:
a. the 200M is used in a large room and the
"house system" could be used for additional
coverage.
b. the 200M is used for a keyboard mixer/amplifier
with a large PA system
Both of these situations can be covered by the use
of the mono output, through a direct box or a high-
to low-impedance transformer such as the EV 502
CP. Plug the high-impedance side of the transformer
into the mono output of the 200M. Plug the low-im¬
pedance side of the transformer into the house PA.
Adjust the output level to house PA with the MAIN
master control. A relatively low Setting will be re¬
quired.
