3. SX SERIES CONTROLS
NOTE: this phantom power switch will control the adjacent four MIC channels,
such as from CH1-CH4.
2- MONO MIC/LINE CHANNELS
Your SX series is equipped with 18/26 low-noise microphone pre-amplifier with optional
phantom power, 50 dB of Gain and over 115 dB of S/N ratio. You can connect almost any type
of microphone. Dynamic microphones do not need phantom power. Use phantom power only
with condenser microphones but make sure that the phantom power button is disengaged
before connecting the microphone. Phantom power may damage your dynamic microphones,
so make sure to read the MIC instructions manual before engaging phantom power. Use switch
(1) to activate/deactivate phantom power. These channels are also equipped with 1/4" TRS
balanced/unbalanced LINE-IN plugs to connect line-level instruments such as keyboards, drum
machines and effect devices.
3- MONO CHANNEL INSERT
This is where you connect external sound processors such as compressor-limiter, equalizers,
etc.. MONO channel inserts are available for mono channels 1-12 for SX2404 (mono channels
1-12 and 25-32 for SX3204)
4- DIRECT OUTS
Each Mono MIC/LINE Channel is equipped with the 1/4" phone jack for directing output. These
jacks are used to send the signal from the channel path to external device for recording func-
tion etc..
5- STEREO INPUTS
These are channels 13 to 24. They are organised in stereo pair & provided with XLR sockets and
1/4" TRS phone jacks. If you connect only the left jack, the input will operate in mono mode,
that is the mono signal will appear on both input channels. You can use these inputs with a
stereo keyboard, drum machine, etc.
6- 2-TRACK (TAPE IN)
Use the tape input if you wish to listen to your mix from a Tape Recorder or DAT.
7- 2-TRACK (TAPE OUT)
These RCA jacks will route the main mix into a tape recorder.
8- USB PORT
This USB port is used to connect the unit to PC with a transmission line. When it is in RECORD
mode, it can connect with the SUB1-2 or MAIN MIX output when in the PLAYBACK mode, it can
connect with CH23/24 or MAIN MIX.
9- USB RECORD SWITCH
You can select SUB1/2 or MAIN MIX track to input the record signal to PC.
10- USB PLAYBACK SWITCH
You can select Ch23/24 or MAIN MIX track to output audio signal from PC.
11- AUX RETURNS JACKS
Use these stereo 1/4" phone jacks to return the stereo signal of an effect unit to the Main Mix.
Alternatively you can also use them as an extra auxiliary input via using the AUX RETURN level
control as volume control. The signal will be sent directly to MAIN MIX control.
