SENDING AN INDEPENDENT MIX TO THE MONITOR SPEAKERS
The MDR6's AUX send can be used to feed a separate set of amplifiers and loudspeakers for stage monitors.
This lets you build one stereo mix for the amplifiers and speakers facing the audience and the other mono mix for
the amplifiers and monitor speakers facing the musicians.
1. Raise the AUX controls for the channels that you wish to hear from the monitor speakers.
NOTE: The AUX controls are "PRE-FADER SENDS" which means they are not affected by the FADER
level settings of each channel. This allows you to create a mix for the monitors that is independent of the
main LEFT and RIGHT MIX.
2. In order to get the most gain from your monitor mix, use an external graphic equalizer like a Samson E31i to
cut out any frequencies that cause feedback.
USING AN EXTERNAL EFFECT
If you want to use an external device for effects processing,
you can easily connect the unit using the MDR6 AUX bus.
Follow the simple steps below to interface your processor:
1. Set the L/R mix faders to the "0" position.
2. Raise the AUX RETURN knobs for the channels to which
you want the external effect to be applied.
3. Set the input level of the external effect so that the sound is
not distorted and so that the effect's input meter does not
indicate a clipped signal.
4. Use the AUX control to adjust the level of the effects
processed by the external effects device.
PLAYING BACK A CD USING 2T to RETURN
The MDR6 has a dedicated input for playing back a CD, Tape
or Mini Disk, which is heard in the Control Room and
Headphone outputs. Below is a description of how you can
play back a CD, Tape or MD using the MDR6's 2 TRACK INPUT.
• Turn the CONTROL ROOM level control all the way down.
• Adjust the 2T to RETURN level control a bit below the "O " position.
• Start playback on the CD, Tape or MD player.
• Now raise the CONTROL ROOM level until you
reach a comfortable listening level.
For more information see the section "Mixing a 2-track with the
Stereo MIX" on page 8 in this manual.
RECORDING A MIX FROM THE MDR6
You can record the audio from the MDR6's mixer section
including the MIC, LINE, TAPE IN and AUX inputs to a
Cassette deck, MD, DAT or any other type of recorder using
the 2 Track outputs. Simply connect the MDR6's 2-Track
OUT to the input jacks of the recorder as shown in the dia-
gram to the right.
