REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
0
GROUP OUT connectors
Each group buss has an electrically balanced XLR-type
output connector, to feed the monitor amplifier systems.
(2)
GROUP INSERT I/O connectors
As with the input channel inserts, a single unbalanced
TRS jack permits access to the signal path between the
group mix buss and the group fader, with an automatic
closing device if this connector is not used. This is ideal
for inserting devices such as graphic equalizers (to
reduce feedback or "customize" the sound of an individ¬
ual monitor mix) or a limiter to prevent monitor over¬
load.

0 SUB IN (GROUP, AUX, CUE) connectors
These unbalanced input connectors allow a second
monitor mixing console to be "cascaded" with the main
monitor console in situations where more inputs are
needed (for example, a big band, orchestra, or a band
using multiple keyboards and complex drum mixing).
The GROUP SUB IN, AUX SUB IN, CUE SUB IN are con¬
nected with the corresponding Outputs of the second
console, enabling the master controls of the main con¬
sole to control both units.
If two MC2410M's were used in this way, a total of 48
inputs would be available-sufficient for virtually ariy
conceivable situation.
0 CUE OUT connectors
These unbalanced output terminals supply the signal for
the operator's monitor speaker system. When cascading
two monitor mixing consoles, it would be connected to
the CUE SUB IN jacks of the main console. As it is rated
at +4 dB, it can feed another headphone monitoring sys¬
tem for use by an assistant engineer, road manager, or
even a video director.
The level at this output is adjusted by the CUE/OUT level
control on the front panel.
0 CUE CTRL (Control) connector
When two Yamaha MC2410M/MC3210M mixing console
are cascaded together, connecting the CUE CONTROL
terminals of both consoles, via a standard 1/4" jack
cable, allows operation of the Input CUE or Return CUE
functions from either of the units.
This feature allows headphone monitoring of cue'd sig¬
nals by both the monitor engineer and an assistant if
needed.
0
RETURN connectors
These unbalanced input jacks, operating at the profes¬
sional level of +4 dB, are provided to allow effects
devices to be patched in. With an echo unit, for example,
they could be considered as echo send/return points,
with the levels adjusted by the controls on the front
panel.
0
TB OUT connector
The TB OUT jack enables the monitor operator's talkback
signal to be sent to the house PA console or other loca¬
tion.
