THE REAR PANEL
AND HOW
TO MAKE
CONNECTIONS
signals only to an external power amplifier or accessory, set the PWR AMP IN to the EXT
position. When the switch is set to the INT position, the MA6400 preamplifier section feeds
signals directly to the internal power amplifier section.
5. TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 OUTPUTS
These outputs provide signals to feed two separate tape recorders. The program that
appears at the tape outputs is determined by the setting of the front panel Input Selector switch.
The TAPE COPY Switches also affect the signals at the TAPE OUTPUTS.
Connect a cable from the MA6400 Left channel TAPE 1 OUTPUT to the left channel high level
input of a tape recorder. Connect a cable from the MA6400 Right channel TAPE 1 OUTPUT to
the right channel high level input of the tape recorder. Connect a second tape recorder in a
similar manner, to the TAPE 2 OUTPUTS.
6. PROCESSOR FROM and TO
An external signal processor can be added to the MA6400 that will affect only the SPEAKERS
1 and 2. MAIN OUTPUTS and the HEADPHONES. The PROCESSOR circuits are activated
when the PROCESSOR IN-OUT switch is set to the IN position.
When an external processor is properly connected, the program signals feed to the
processor from the PROCESSOR-TO jacks, and return to the MA6400 at the PROCESSOR-
FROM jacks.
Connect a cable from the MA6400 left channel PROCESSOR-TO jack to the signal processor
left channel input. Connect a cable from the MA6400 right channel PROCESSOR-TO jack to the
right channel signal processor input.
Connect a cable from the left channel processor output to the MA6400 left channel
PROCESSOR-FROM jack. Connect a cable from the right channel processor output to the
MA6400 right channel PROCESSOR-FROM jack.
WHEN AN EXTERNAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR IS CONNECTED TO THE MA6400
PROCESSOR JACKS, AND THE PROCESSOR SWITCH IS SET TO IN, THE PROCESSOR
MUST BE TURNED ON AND OPERATING, OR IN BYPASS MODE, FOR A PROGRAM TO BE
HEARD THROUGH THE SYSTEM.
IF AN EXTERNAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR IS NOT BEING USED, SET THE PROCESSOR
SWITCH TO OUT.
7. TAPE 1 and 2 INPUTS
Connect a cable from the left channel output of a tape recorder to the MA6400 L (Left)
channel TAPE 1 INPUT. Connect a cable from the right channel output to the corresponding R
(Right) TAPE 1 INPUT. Connect a second tape recorder in a similar manner to the TAPE 2
INPUTS.
The TAPE INPUTS can also be used for other accessory equipment with similar output levels.
