Rear panel features

Direct out 1/4" TRS jack
T= OUT +
R= G COMP
The input channel's signal is available at this output jack.The D.O.signal is derived
S= GND
Post-fader (post-eq and post-mute).This output jack is ground-compensated.
Insert points
Separate 1/4" TRS jacks provide the facilities for inserting an external signal processor into
the signal path of the input channel.
Insert send
T= OUT +
R= G COMP
This jack serves as an output for connection to the input of a signal processor.
S= GND
The signal is derived after the mic preamp and
TRS plug into this jack does not break the signal flow of the channel.This output jack is
ground-compensated.

Insert return

The output of a signal processor is fed to this jack. It can accept a balanced or
unbalanced signal and is located pre-eq. Plugging a 1/4" TRS plug into this jack breaks the
normal signal flow of the channel.
Passive splitter features
The input of the X-Monitor includes a simple passive splitter for running input signals par-
allel to another desk, typically a front-of-house console. In most cases this can eliminate the
need for a separate splitter box.
Pin 1 lift
When this button is depressed, the XLR Mic-In and Splitter-Out Pin-1 connection is
isolated from the chassis ground of the console.The Pin-1connection is maintained between
the two jacks, but is isolated from the mixer ground.
NOTE: When the Pin-1 Lift switch is depressed, the phantom power (+48V) from the X-
Monitor won't function for that XLR input. Phantom power needs the Pin-1 ground con-
nection for the return path for the +48 volts.
Balanced Input XLR connector—Bal In
This balanced female XLR (Pin 2 Hot) accepts a low-impedance microphone signal, or
a line-level signal, depending on position of the
Splitter Out
This male XLR allows the channel input to be patched to another piece of audio
equipment, such as a front-of-house console. It is simply a parallel connection of whatever
is plugged into the Input XLR.
NOTE:All pins (1,2,3) are wired in parallel with the corresponding pins of the female XLR.
The Pin-1 Lift does NOT disconnect any of these parallel connections.
