Methods for connecting inputs to channels

Method 1: Microphone using XLR balanced inputs -

This is the most popular method for connecting microphones. It works with both dynamic and condenser low impedance microphones. Acoustic guitars that have XLR balanced outputs can also use this input. Because of the phantom power on these inputs, a battery

may not be needed. Check the

2 1

manufacturer of your instrument for use3 without a battery.

Method 2: Line level instrument using line input and a hi-z instrument cable-

This method uses the mono line output through a hi-z instrument cable.

Pros: A quick simple way to get an instrument into the PA without special cables or adapters. This method gives good results in most situations for short distances.

Cons: Using an un-balanced cable longer than 25 feet runs the risk of hum and noise. Using this method in CH5 does not take advantage of its full stereo input feature.

CH1~5 INPUT

Method 3: instrument with passive pickup using hi-z input and cable (CH 5 only)-

This method uses the hi-z (hi impedance) feature of channel 5. For best results, have the inst/line switch in

the instrument (pressed in) position. This channel will automatically switch to mono mode using this method. Pros: A quick simple way to get a low output passive pickup instrument into the PA without special battery powered adapters.

Cons: You run the risk of hum, noise and de-graded signal if cables longer than 15 feet are used.

Method 4: CD/MP3, computer etc. using aux line in-

This method is for connecting devices that have 1/8” stereo or RCA line level outputs. The stereo separation of the device is maintained throughout the system. Headphone outputs can also be used as long as the level is kept low enough to prevent overloading the input. It is OK to use all three aux inputs at once.

Pros: Provides a quick simple way to get pre-recorded music into the PA. All three of the aux inputs can be used together.

Cons: Right/left panning (balance) must be done with the input device.

Method 5: Unbalanced condenser mic with 1/8” plug

This method is for connecting 1/8” mono or stereo condenser microphones typically used with computers. The ring and tip are typically tied together on mono microphones. The phantom supply is less voltage than the other Mic inputs. Pros: Provides a quick simple way to connect small Mics. The other two aux inputs can be used together with this mic input so in a way, it’s like getting an extra Mic channel.

Cons: Caution must be taken to not create feedback in the system MICROPHONE with this type of Mic. There are many low quality microphones of this

type that offer little or no feedback rejection.
