4. DESCRIPTION & FEATURES SAMI-612 is an installation audio mixer in standard rack format, featuring 6 MIC/LINE Stereo inputs, 1 Stereo MIX input and 1 Stereo MAIN output + 1 Stereo REC output. Each input has a dedicated 3-band tone control, a feature which is fundamental to get a perfect microphone mix in an installation.
On the opposite, input and output level controls use classic and easily accessible rotary knobs. Due to its low power consumption and heat sink, the SAMI-612 does not need any fan cooling. However, avoid installing it in dusty environments and/or in a location with extreme temperature and moisture.
6. START-UP & OPERATION 6.1 Connections 6.1.1 Inputs Each SAMI-612 channel has two input types (MIC/mono, LINE/stereo), selectable using a switch on the back panel. Microphone signal: the 6 mixing channels are provided with screw terminal strips and accept a nominal input level from 50dBV (3.16mV) to –20dBV (0.1mV), ± 15dB gain to be adjusted on the back panel.

Turntables cannot be directly connected to this unit, because SAMI-612 has no RIAA preamp equipped input. In addition, MIX IN input directly access to the main mixing bus. It is especially useful to connect a second SAMI-612 or another mixer in order to increase the number of mixing channels and inputs.
6.1.2 Outputs SAMI-612 has two main outputs, with their type of connector as only difference: electronically balanced screw terminal strips and unbalanced RCA connectors. Connection is made according to the following diagram: In order to use an unbalanced output, you need to short pin 2 and pin 3, as indicated in the previous diagram.
Plug the external PSU to the DC IN connector located on the rear panel and then, after connecting it to the power outlet, press the on/off switch to power the unit. Even the power-up noise of SAMI-612 is minimal, we highly recommend to power up all equipment in the following order:...
Cable shields, when connected to the chassis, must never be linked together. This will avoid ground loops. SAMI-612 has been designed to produce the lowest background noise. Independently from the electronic design, the resulting background noise directly relies on the correct use and installation of the mixing unit.
