7 - PHONES
7
The PHONES output appears on a 3-pole 1/4" jack, suitable for head-
phones with an impedance of 200Ω or higher.
8
8 - TB LEVEL
A balanced input is provided for a Talkback microphone. The signal
9
may be routed selectively to Aux 1/2 or 3/4 (which might typically be
used for performers' foldback) or Mix L/R by pressing the appropriate
10
switches. The signal level is adjusted by the TB LEVEL control.
9 - STEREO RETURNS
12
Two balanced Stereo Returns are available for the outputs of effects
units and are mixed directly to the Mix L/R busses at a level set by the
13
RET-1 or RET-2 controls. If a mono source is used, plugging into the
Left jack only automatically feeds to the signal to both Left and Right.
14
10 - 2TK LEVEL
The rotary control sets the level of the 2 Track Tape input, which is
routed to the headphones, monitor outputs and meters, or directly
to the Mix outputs by pressing the adjacent switch (12 MONITOR
SOURCE SELECT). These unbalanced inputs, on RCA phono connec-
tors, are ideal to connect the playback of a tape machine for monitor-
6
ing.
11 - 2TK REPLACES MIX OUTPUT
This switch does what it says! When pressed the Mix output is
switched to the 2 Track input and is an ideal way of feeding pre-
show music to the main outputs in live applications without using up
valuable input channels. For example, with the switch pressed and
a CD connected and playing pre-show music, the engineer can be
setting up channel levels, adjusting EQ, talking back to performers and
monitoring any part of the mix (including final Mix) without affecting
the sound to the audience. Releasing the switch instantly swaps the
Mix Outputs back to the mixer and cuts off the CD.
CAUTION: Pressing this switch cuts off the normal Mix
L/R signal and it should therefore NOT be used during
live performance or recording.
12 - MONITOR SOURCE SELECT
These switches allow a choice of 2TK, C (mono), Mix or Groups as
the source for the Phones, Monitor outputs and meters, and may be
selected individually or as a combination.
NOTE: If NO switches are pressed, there will be NO signal on the
meters or monitors!
13 - MONITOR PHONES
This control sets the output level to the MONITOR LEFT & RIGHT
outputs. If Headphones are plugged into the PHONES jack the Monitor
outputs are cut off, and the knob then sets the headphone listening
level. When the PHONES are unplugged the Monitor output is restored.
The source for the Monitor and Phones is selected by the five switches
