25.2 TRACK IN SOLO BUTTON (2 TRK IN SOLO 1, 2)
This is pressed to monitor the master recorder output
connected to the 2 TRK IN jacks 1 and 2 (42). When
this button is pressed, the LED above it will be lit and,
as for other SOLO buttons, the input signal from the
2 TRK IN jack (42) corresponding to the button
number (1 or 2) that is pressed, can be monitored
via the PFL buss. Also, if one of either button is
pressed, the meter L, R section will indicate the mixed
signal of the PFL buss and thus may be used to
confirm the output level of the master recorder that
is connected. This function is effective only on the
monitor system as in (24).
26. MONITOR SELECTOR (MONITOR SELECT)
Selects the signal to be sent to the MONITOR OUT
jacks 1 - 2 (45) and PHONES jack (47).
STEREO: Signals (STEREO buss output signals)
output from the STEREO OUT jacks 1
and 2 (43) can be monitored.
CUE
: Signals (CUE buss output signals) output
from the CUE OUT jacks (46) can be
monitored.
Down position is ON and up position is OFF for these
buttons. Also, please note that these two buttons are
the LOCK RELEASE type (only one of either button
can be pressed).
27. MONITOR OUT SELECTOR (MONITOR OUT)
This is for selecting whether 1 (RCA pin jack) or 2
(stereo phone jack) of the MONITOR OUT jack (45)
is to be active. As both 1 and 2 are at the same level
(-10dBV) and same impedance (10KQ load), the
selection depends on the connector.

28. MONITOR LEVEL KNOB (MONITOR)
Adjusts the output level of the signal output from
MONITOR OUT jacks 1 and 2 (45).
29. HEADPHONE LEVEL KNOB (PHONES)
Adjusts sound level of the headphones plugged into
the PHONES jack (47).
30. PREFADER LISTEN/SOLO LEVEL KNOB (PFUSOLO)
Adjusts the master level of the PFL buss. The total
sound volume can be set at solo monitoring by
pressing the PFL button (15) or SOLO button.
31. CUE MASTER LEVEL KNOB (CUE MASTER)
The CUE buss master level adjusting knob. Output
level at the CUE OUT jack (46) can be set. This is
convenient for setting the total sound volume when
sending to the CUE buss the signals of SUB MIX
sections 3 and 4 by the CUE/L-R selector (5).
Please note that when at least one PFL button (15)
or SOLO button is pressed, the L and R meters will
indicate the mixed signal level on the PFL buss.
33. XLR INPUT JACKS
These are XLR type balanced input connectos (#3
pin hot) which match signals from mic levels to line
levels. They can also match unbalanced type input
signals but then pins #1 and #2 must be GND and
the PHANTOM POWER switch (35) must be switched
OFF at all times. If a plug is inserted into the phone
INPUT jack (34), that jack will have priority and the
signals to the XLR connector will be by-passed.
34. PHONE INPUT JACKS (INPUT)
These are unbalanced phone jacks which signals from
mic levels to line levels. They can, of course, match
the balanced line type input signals but then the plug
tip must be hot and the ring cold.
35. PHANTOM POWER SWITCH ( + 48V)
The ON/OFF switch for the DC48V phantom power
to the microphone. This must always be switched OFF
(button up position) when a dynamic microphone is
used because it does not require a power supply.
When this is switched ON, pin # 1 will be 0 volt and
DC48 volts will be applied to pins
#2
and #3.
36. TAPE INPUT JACKS (TAPE)
Normally, the outputs (unbalanced) of a multitrack
recorder are plugged in here. These are set for the
rated input level of - lOdBV (20K0) before leaving
the production line (Refer to NOTE 1 of the P.O.).
37. ACCESSORY SEND/RECEIVE JACKS (SEND/RCV)
These jacks are used for plugging in external sound
processors such as digital reverbs, compressors/
limiters and noise gates. These are in stereo phone
format (TIP is send, RING is receive) and when
nothing is plugged in here, the signal will be jumpered
from send to receive.

38. DIRECT OUT JACK (D. OUT)
The output jacks of the post fader (post equalizer)
signals of each channel. These can be used for sends
to the effect unit.
32.12 POINT LED BARGRAPH METERS
These indicates the output levels, from left to right,
at the GROUP OUT jacks 1, 2, 3, 4 (40) and the
STEREO OUT jack 1 (43) L, R.
39. AUX OUT JACKS (AUX OUT 1, 2, 3, 4)
Output jacks of the AUX buss 1 ~ 4. Used for
sending the mixed signal of the AUX 1 ~ 4 send (8)
to the digital reverb.
