This determines the final signal level available to
the headphone amplifier. The signal is derived
before the MON ITOR LEVE L control, but is
otherwise the same.

Headphone Output Jack

This is located on the front of the mixer below
the arm rest. This circuit is designed to be used
with 8 ohm stereophones.

( 1 /4"
phone 2-connector)
( 1 /4" phone 3-connector)
Your headphone connector must have 3 sections
to be safe. While accidents do happen, and pro·
tection circuits have been built in, use of mono/
2 wire headphones will eventually cause circuit
failure (2 to 3 minutes). Using the 2 wire con·
nectar shorts out one of the amplifiers driv ing
the headphones, which will cause it to burn out.

EXTernal I N puts
These RCA phone jacks are prov ided on the rear
panel so that any stereo input such as an addi·
tiona! submix, a half-track master recorder or
cassette machine can be connected and can be
switched in and out of monitor system, using
the EXT 1 and 2 MONitor Select Switches.

SOLO Level Control and Indicator
The SOLO BUSS receives signal from the channel
PF L switches, from the program AF L switches
and E F FECT RTN P F L switches. The LEVE L
control al lows the signal to be adjusted to the
i ndicator. This large, red lamp lights whenever
desired level. Below the control is the SOLO
any P F L or A F L switch is pressed. This indi·
from the MONitor
cates; 1) A signal is present in the buss, and,
2) The MONITOR and HEADPHONE circuits
are switched from their normal signal, as deter·
mined by the MONitor switch, and are receiv ing,
instead, signal from the SOLO circuit. This one·
switch, automatic switching logic, allows fast,
easy changes in the monitor signal and is very
useful during complex mixing sessions.

EXT SOLO

This 1 /4" Stereo Phone jack provides external
access to the SOLO Buss and the Solo Control
signal line. This connector when combined with
the SOLO OUTPUT jack of another 300 series
mixer al lows the two SOLO systems to be
combined.
This is a valuable tool when assembling various
pieces of equipment for studio production work.
For this, connect the first mixer's SOLO OUT·
PUT and EXT SOLO to the second mixer's EXT
SOLO.

This RCA Phone connector prov ides a SOLO

two mixers are to be cascaded, patched together
to work as one larger mixer.
