Q CD IN jacks
These phono jacks accept line-level (–6 dB) input
signals from CD players, DAT decks, or similar play-
back sources. These signals are added to the master
stereo mixing bus in front of the GEQ. The selection
between input from the CD IN A jack and the CD IN B
jack is made using the CD IN A/B switch on the front
panel.
R EFFECT RETURN jacks
The output from external effect units fed by the EF-
FECT SEND jacks can be returned to the main pro-
gram mix via these 1/4" phone jacks. Note that both
effect circuits have stereo EFFECT RETURN jacks,
allowing the EMX3500 to accommodate effect devices
with stereo output. To return a monophonic effect
signal to both channels of the master stereo mixing
bus, use the EFFECT RETURN L jack. (The R jack
should be left open.) The levels of the signals input by
these jacks are adjusted by the corresponding EF-
FECT RETURN controls on the front panel. The
nominal input level for these jacks is +4 dB.
S EFFECT SEND jacks
These 1/4" phone jacks deliver the corresponding
effect mix signals to feed external effect devices. Note
that the EFFECT SEND 2 output is active even when
the internal digital signal processor is turned on. The
levels of the signals output by these jacks are adjusted
by the corresponding EFFECT SEND controls on the
front panel. The nominal output level for these jacks is
+4 dB.
T REC OUT and TAPE IN jacks
These phono jacks are used to send stereo signals
(–10 dBV) to and from a connected tape deck. The
REC OUT jacks send the unequalized pre-fader signal
from the master bus for recording by the tape deck.
The TAPE IN jacks connect the playback signal from
the tape deck to the master mixing bus in front of the
GEQ. The levels of these signals are adjusted by the
REC OUT and TAPE IN controls on the front panel.
U LINE INSERT I/O jacks
These tip-ring-sleeve 1/4" phone jacks serve as insert
patch points for the connection of external signal
processing devices or other equipment to the master
stereo mixing bus. There are two pairs of jacks,
allowing the devices to be connected both in front of
and behind the GEQ. The line insertion points are ideal
for the insertion of stereo effects that need to be
applied to the entire mix. These jacks accommodate
both the send (output) and receive (input) lines re-
quired by the insert points. The signals are sent and
received at a nominal level of +4 dB.
V MONITOR OUT jacks
These 1/4" phone jacks deliver the signal from the
monitor mixing bus to feed external monitor speaker
systems driven by external amplifiers. Although both
these jacks output the same monitor mix signal, their
output levels can be adjusted individually using the
corresponding MONITOR output level controls on the
front panel. These jacks have a nominal output level of
+4 dB.
