1: Main out (L, R) - These are the MIXPAD 4's main outputs. You'll
usually use these to connect the MIXPAD 4 to a tape recorder or to a
power amp and loudspeakers. The Main out jacks are electronically
balanced, so you should use balanced three-conductor cabling and
TRS plugs wherever possible (unbalanced two-conductor plugs can also
be inserted into these outputs, but you'll get better signal quality and
less outside noise and hum if you use balanced lines). See the
"Connecting the MIXPAD" section on page 19 for more information.
2: Aux Send - This unbalanced 1/4" output allows you to route signal
from any or all channels to external devices such as effects processors.
The MIXPAD 4 Aux send is post-fade and post-EQ. See the "Using Aux
Sends and Returns" section on page 32 for more information.
3: Aux Return (1/Mono / 2) - These unbalanced 1/4" inputs allow you
to route signal from external devices such as effects processors to the
MIXPAD 4's stereo Aux Return. When connecting only a single mono
signal to the Aux Return, use the " Aux Ret. 1/Mono" input; the signal
will then be automatically panned dead center. When connecting stereo
signals, use both jacks; the signal connected to the "Aux Ret. 1/Mono"
jack will be automatically panned hard left and the signal connected to
the "Aux Ret 2" jack will be automatically panned hard right. See
"Using Aux Sends and Returns" on page 32 for more information.
