OWNER'S MANUAL
100M ENTERTAINER STEREO MIXER
B. MAIN OUTPUT: The MAIN output is a mix of the
left and right stereo outputs. It is affected by the set¬
tings of the SUB L and SUB R controls. The level of
this mix is adjusted by the MAIN control. This output
may be used simultaneously with the stereo mixer
outputs (see above) or any of the other outputs.
The MAIN output can also be used to advantage
where the 100M has to drive an external sound sys¬
tem. For example:
a. the 100M is used in a large room and the
"house system" could be used for additional
coverage
b. the 100M 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, via a direct box or a high-im¬
pedance to low-impedance transformer. Plug the Hi-
Z side of the transformer into the Mono output of the
100M. Plug the Lo-Z side of the transformer into the
house PA. Adjust the output level to house PA with
the mono master. A relatively low setting will be re¬
quired.
5. EFX SEND AND EFX RTN: The EFFECTS SEND
and EFFECTS RETURN jacks allow external effects
devices such as echo machines, chorus units
and digital delay devices to be connected to the
100M.
A. SENDS: To facilitate the connection of the various
types of devices available to the musician, two send
jacks are provided:
HIGH LEVEL
1/4" phone jack
+ 4 dBu level
LOW LEVEL
1/4" phone jack
-16 dBu level
Use the EFX SEND HIGH-LEVEL jack for studio-
type effects devices capable of operating at line
levels (about 1 volt).
Use the EFX SEND LOW-LEVEL jack for guitar-type
devices. These are units that are normally patched
between an instrument and its amplifier. The low-
level send allows the guitar-type device to operate at
its optimum level for low distortion and yet still be hot
enough to be relatively noiseless.
Both the high- and low-level jacks may be used simul¬
taneously.
B. RETURN: Once the signal has been sent to an ef¬
fects unit for processing, it must be returned to some
point within the mixer. The EFX RETURN jack ac¬
cepts a standard 1/4-inch phone plug and will accept
signals from both high- and low-level effects. The sig¬
nal from this jack appears at the EFX RETURN con¬
trol.
Regardless of the effects used with the 100M, 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 effects return con¬
trol is varied. Since most "pedal '-type effects lack this
control, their use with the 100M (or any other effects
send/return system) is not recommended.
7. MONITOR OUT: The MONITOR SEND output is
the mix of all the individual monitor send controls. It
is not affected by the graphic equalizers regardless
of the setting of the MODE switch.
This is a line-level output ( + 4 dBu nominal) and is
capable of driving power amplifiers or other line-level
inputs. It can also be used for making a recording
that is not affected by the other mixer controls or as
a send to an external sound system.
8. AMPLIFIER AND EQUALIZER PATCHING
JACKS
These jacks allow the amplifiers and/or equalizers in
the 100M access to the outboard equipment. 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(s)
c. separate the internal amplifiers completely from
the lOOM's mixer 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
The Equalizer output jacks (GRAPHIC EQ OUT) and
the Amplifier input jacks (AMP IN) are "normaled."
That is, they don't require patch cords for operation.
The equalizer output jack may be patched into any
time without disrupting the signal flow to the internal
power amplifiers. The amplifier input jacks interrupt
the signal coming from the graphic EQ section when
a plug is inserted into them.
