30. XLR Master Outputs
Transformer-balanced ouputs. Pin-1 = Ground;
pin-2 = 'Hot'; pin 3 = 'Cold'. Can be unbalanced by
grounding pin-3 to pin-1 of the XLR connector.
31. XLR Output Level
Sets the nominal output level for the XLR Master
Outputs to Mic, Tape (-10), or Line levels.
32. TA3-type Master Outputs
Selectable Line (factory default) or Mic level out-
put set in Setup Menu. Pin-1 = Ground, pin-2 =
'Hot', pin-3 = 'Cold'. Can be used unbalanced with
pin-2 and ground.
33. Hirose Multi-Pin Output (Return A)
Multi-pin connector includes second master out-
put (on separate winding from XLR outputs). Also
includes unbalanced stereo Return A. (See block
diagram for pin out.)
34. Hirose Multi-Pin Hirose Output Level
Selects output level for the Hirose Multi-Pin
Output to Mic, Tape, or Line Level.
35. Tape Output(s) / Mix Out
Unbalanced stereo outputs on 3.5 mm and TA3-
type connectors. For TA3, pin-1 = Ground, pin-2 =
Left, pin-3 = Right. For 1/8", sleeve = Ground, tip
= Left, ring = Right. Also used to link to the Mix In
to add inputs to a 442.
36. Mono Mic Out
1/8-inch, mono, mic level connection designed to
connect to wireless IFB transmitters or transcrip-
tion recorders. Unbalanced. Tip = Hot, sleeve =
Ground.

Unbalanced stereo TA3-type or 3.5 mm input con-
nectors for Return B audio. TA3: Pin-1 = Ground,
pin-2 = Left, pin-3 = Right. 1/8": Sleeve = Ground,
tip = Left, ring = Right.
1/4-inch and 3.5 mm stereo connectors can drive
headphones from 8 to 2000 ohm impedances to
required monitoring levels.
An input to the master bus designed exclusively
to link another 442, MixPre, or MP-2 to the 442
for additional inputs. Pin-2 = Left, pin-3 = Right,
pin-1 = Ground. Shell of TA3 connector must be
grounded to pin-1 to open connection.
Holds four AA batteries required for internal pow-
ering. Accepts alkaline and lithium cells or NiHM
rechargeable cells.
Accepts DC voltages from 5–18 V for mixer
powering. Four-pin Hirose connector is wired
pin-4 positive (+), pin-1 negative (–). Ext DC is
completely isolated (floating) from the rest of the
circuitry.
Note
Early versions (s/n < 0303) of the 442 use a coax-
ial DC power connector with tip (+) and sleeve (–).
