TAPE IN jacks

The [TAPE IN] jacks on the rear panel are designed for playback of a stereo tape deck (or any other -10 dBV level signal) through the [MONITOR OUT] and [PHONES] jacks only. A signal at the [TAPE IN] jacks cannot be heard from the [MAIN OUT] jacks.

This allows you to use the Multimix 12R to monitor a mixdown to a 2- track deck through your headphones. (If you plugged your mixdown deck into the line inputs on the channels, it would cause feedback when you press “record”.) By placing the [PHONES/MONITOR] switch in the TAPE position, you will hear the mixer's output after it has been passed through the mixdown deck, so you can make sure that it is recording correctly.

•Another use for the [TAPE IN] jacks is to play a CD or tape into a PA system, automatically turning off all the microphones into the main PA system when the front panel MSTR/TAPE switch is set to the TAPE position. Note that in this application, the PA system must be fed from the MONITOR OUT instead of the MAIN OUT jacks, and will be affected by the level of the [PHONES/MONITOR] control as well as by the [MASTER] control fader.
