Stereo Input Channels - JBL EON15 G2 User Manual

FADER
The 100mm FADER is custom designed to give smoother control of the overall signal level in the
channel strip and allowing precise balancing of the various source signals being mixed to the
Master Section. You get most control when the input SENSITIVITY is set up correctly, giving full
travel on the fader. See the Setting Up, Gain Structuring & Troubleshooting' section for help in
setting a suitable signal level.
LISTEN
When the latching LISTEN switch is pressed, the audio signal from the channel is fed to the head-
phones, control room output and meters, where it replaces the selected monitor source (MIX or
TAPE/CD IN). The LISTEN signal is derived after the EQ but before the channel fader so it is not
effected by fader level. The LISTEN LED on the Master section illuminates to warn that LISTEN is
active. Engaging the LISTEN switch does not effect the signal to the MIX, MON, or EFX outputs.
LISTEN allows you to hear one input at a time so you can adjust EQ or check a channel for prob-
lems without interfering with the performance.

Stereo Input Channels

The MusicMix 16 actually has 4 stereo input channels.
• Inputs 9-10 and 13-14 are very basic inputs that can only send a signal to the MIX output.
• Inputs 11-12 and 15-16 are more fully featured. This is where you would connect a stereo
keyboard, or an effects processor, or a CD player with pre-recorded accompaniment tracks.
9L / 10R and 13L / 14R INPUTS
These high impedance inputs are unbalanced and use RCA "phono" connectors. This is a good
place to connect a CD player for background music during breaks. If you've run out of input chan-
nels you could also connect the output of an effects processor here but you will not be able to
send the effect to the stage monitors. Alternatively they may be used as simple effects returns or
stereo instrument inputs. Note that turntables require special (RIAA) pre-amplifiers and will not work
properly if connected directly to these inputs.
9-10 and 13-14 LEVEL
These controls adjust the level of the sources connected to inputs 9L / 10R and 13L / 14R.
11L / 12R and 15L / 16R INPUTS
These inputs accept 1/4" phone jacks and are BALANCED for low noise and top quality from pro-
fessional equipment. You may also use UNBALANCED sources simply connecting 2-conductor
1/4" phone jacks. These inputs are ideal for sources such as keyboards, drum machines, synths,
tape machines or effects processors. Mono sources may be used by plugging into the left jack
only.
SENS 11-12 and 15-16
The input SENSITIVITY matches the source level to the mixer. If this control is set too high the sig-
nal will distort as it overloads the channel. Too low, and the level of any background hiss will be
more noticeable and you may not be able to get enough signal level to the output of the mixer.
HF
Same as mono input channels.
LF
Same as mono input channels.
MON
The MON (Monitor) send is always PRE-FADE, POST-EQ (meaning that this signal will be effected
by the EQ but not by the master fader) and therefore most appropriate for stage monitor (also
known as "foldback") mixes. If a stereo source is connected to the channel, the left and the right
signals will be summed and sent to the stage monitors.
