2. STEREO INPUT SECTION

				(12A) L (MONO) LINE
				INPUT
				On stereo input channels
				5-12, the 1/4” line inputs
				are designed for stereo
				or mono line-level signals
				such as those from key-
	(12A)			boards, drum machines,
				CD players, tape decks,
				or samplers. However,
				these inputs can also be
				used as standard mono
				line inputs by connecting
		(12B)		the signal to the L
				(MONO) line in. This sig-
				nal will be routed equally
				to the BAL control and
(4A)				the left and right outputs
				in the same way as the
				standard line input chan-
			(4)	nels. For the stereo line
				inputs the mono channel
				PAN (9) control is
				replaced by the BAL
			(5)	(Balance) control. See
				also BAL CONTROL
				(13) below.

	(12B) R LINE INPUT
	When using channels 5-
	6, 7-8, 9-10,11-12 as
	stereo input channels,
	the left signal should be
	connected to the L input
	and the right signal to the
(6)	R input. These signals
	will be routed to the
	TRIM (4), PAD (5), EQ
	(6), AUX (7), EFF (8) and
	Channel fader (11) con-
	trols equally and will
	retain their stereo sepa-
	ration. The AUX, EQ,
	EFF, BAL, and Channel
	fader controls all function
	the same as those on the

mono input channels.

When a stereo signal is input to a stereo input channel, these controls will affect the left and right signals equally.

The Stereo Line Inputs jacks are 1/4” TRS unbalanced phone jacks, Tip = hot, Ring open, Sleeve = ground. The input sig- nals to these jacks, however, can be either balanced or unbalanced.

(6) EQUALIZERS

The stereo channel EQ’s operate in the same manner as those in the mono channels. The left and right signals will be affected equally. A stereo equalizer is generally preferable anyhow to using two mono equalizers when equalizing a stereo signal as it avoids possible discrepancies between the left and right settings.

(7) AUX SENDS
These are the same as
for the mono channels.
Note that a mono sum is	(7)
taken from the stereo
input.
(13) BAL CONTROL
For a mono input to the L	(8)
(MONO) input the func-
tion of the control is the
same as the PAN con-
trols (9) of the mono
channels. However, when
a channel is run in stereo,	(13)
this control functions as a
balance control, determin-
ing the relative balance of
the left and right channel	(10)
signals being sent to the
left and right Master Mix
buses. For example, with
the balance control
turned fully clockwise,
only the right portion of
the channel’s stereo sig-
nal will be routed to the
Master Mix.
(4A) PEAK LED INDI-
CATOR
(10) PFL SELECT
SWITCH
(11) CHANNEL FADER	(11)
All these have the same

function as for the mono channels. See MONO INPUT SECTION.
