Connections

To another mixer

The main or monitor outputs of the Multimix 12R may be connected to a larger mixing console. Consult the manual for the other mixer for more information. If the mixer has "SUB IN" jacks, connect to those. Alternatively, you may simply connect the MAIN OUT or MONITOR OUT jacks of the Multimix 12R to two line-level inputs on the other mixer. If you do, check to see what level those inputs are designed for.

•If the inputs of the other mixer can handle +4 dBu balanced or -2 dBu unbalanced levels, simply connect the [MAIN OUT BALANCED] outputs to the other mixer's line inputs.

•If the inputs are designed for -10 dBV level inputs (such as most keyboard and guitar amplifiers, and consumer stereo amplifiers), connect the [MAIN OUT -10 dBV] outputs to the line inputs of the external mixer.

If the connection is made properly, the Multimix 12R will not distort the input of the other mixer. You may need to adjust the input trim of the other mixer to get the best dynamic range.

To a stereo tape recorder

If you want to record the output of the mixer into a typical stereo cassette or DAT deck, connect the [MAIN OUT -10 dBV] phono jacks to the left and right inputs of the cassette deck using a standard stereo phono-to-phono (RCA) cable.

If your recorder is a professional type with balanced +4 inputs, in most cases you should connect the [MAIN OUT BALANCED] jacks of the mixer to the inputs of the recorder.

•If you connect the [MONITOR OUT] jacks to the recorder, the level will be affected by the [PHONES/MONITOR] level control on the front panel. However, if you're using the [TAPE IN] jacks to monitor playback, you run the risk of feedback if you press the MSTR/TAPE switch while in record mode.
