Stereo Inputs From Mixer Main Output
These inputs should contain the main mixer output which will be a feed of the programme
plus the audio that you want to remove by the mix-minus unit. Ideally, the input should
be presented at 0dB. The XLR 3 pin sockets used for the left and right channel inputs are
electronically balanced and have an impedance of greater than 10kΩ bridging. Each XLR has
the following connections:
Pin 1: Screen.
Pin 2: Phase.
Pin 3: Non-phase.
Input From Mixer Telephone Fader
This mono input should contain the audio that needs to be removed by the RB-MM1, usually
from the telephone/telco fader of a mixing console. Ideally, the input should be presented
at 0dB. The XLR 3 pin socket used for the mono channel input is electronically balanced and
has an impedance of greater than 20kΩ bridging. The XLR has the following connections:
Pin 1: Screen.
Pin 2: Phase.
Pin 3: Non-phase.
Output Null Adjustments (LF and Full-Band)
The 2 x null preset potentiometers are used to adjust the null between the input from the
telephone fader and the main stereo input. The telephone input is made anti-phase and
used to cancel out that signal in the main stereo signal. So, the nulls adjust the level of anti-
phase signal required to achieve the best mix-minus null.
