TAPE INPUT

Patch the outputs of your intermission en-
tertainment here. Any line-level mono or stereo
device can be used: tape, CD player, television
audio, etc. See BREAK SWITCH
information.
When connecting a mono device (just one
cord), you'll need a "Y-splitter" RCA adapter.
It turns a mono output cord into two cords; so
both the left and right tape input jacks can be
patched. This adapter is widely available.

TAPE OUTPUT

Use these jacks to capture the entire per-
formance to tape. The signal at these jacks is
the main mix, after the MAIN INSERT
before the MAIN MIX Fader
signal will be present at these jacks regardless
of the position of the MAIN MIX Fader.

PHONES

The stereo signal at these jacks is the same
as at the MAIN OUT
, but with two impor-
tant differences:
After the MAIN MIX Fader
sent through the PHONES LEVEL
allowing you to set levels as desired, without
disturbing the main mix level.
When a channel's SOLO PFL
the main mix signal at this output will be re-
placed by the solo signal, allowing the engineer
to audition channels without disturbing the
main mix.
The stereo PHONES jack will drive any
standard headphones to very loud levels. Walk-
person-type phones can also be used with an
appropriate adapter.
Note: Please see the "Safety Instructions" on
page 2 for information on hearing protection.
