S T E R, Stereo Returns, Record Send L/R | Dynacord 1000 instruction

M A S T E R

43. STEREO RETURNS

The stereo returns are used to route stereo signals (e. g. of an additional external mixer, FX unit, etc.) to the master output.

In case you want to connect a monaural device, please use only the L/MONO return connector. The monaural signal is internally routed to both channels.

44. STEREO RETURN

Rotary control for level adjustment of the signals coming from the STEREO RETURNS. The actually outputted level is also influenced by the setting of the master faders.

45. RECORD SEND L/R

These RCA-type connectors carry the PRE FADER master L/R signal. The signal is not affected by the setting of the master faders and therefore mostly used for the connection of cassette decks, open reel tape decks or DAT recorders for recording purposes. The nominal level of the outputs is –10dBV and matches the professional industry standard as well as most home recording applications. Nevertheless, you should use the input gain control of your recording device - as far as it is provided.

CAUTION: On most tape decks the incoming signal is directly carried through to the outputs. In case you have connected the REC. SENDS and the 2TRACK RETURNS and the PowerMate’s 2TRACK to MASTER control is set to anything but its lowest setting, the recorded signal is included into the main mix again. The difference in delay of the two signals is responsible for occurring drop-outs and the general degradation of the sound. In the worst case, activating the RECORD button on your tape deck could lead to very unpleasant feedback noise. To prevent this from happening make sure that you always have the 2TRACK to MASTER control and the AUX3 control adjusted to their lowest settings. The 2TRACK RETURN signal will pass unobstructed.

46. 2TRACK RETURN L/R

Here you can connect a tape deck, a CD player, an open reel or an additional mixer. The signal is post master fader and post STANDBY switch. providing you with the possibility to play intermission music during performance breaks or check the mix during the rehearsal, using the headphones. You just have to engage the STANDBY switch to mute all channel signals at the main outputs and the monitor bus.

47. 2TRACK to AUX3

The signal coming from the 2TRACK RETURNS is internally added to the AUX3 bus (monitor bus) and its level is set with 2TRACK to AUX3 rotary control. The signal gets added to the bus pre 2TRACK to MASTER control.

48. 2TRACK to MASTER

This control is used to mix the 2TRACK signal to the main mix; post fader of the master controls.

CAUTION: When adjusting the level of the device that is connected to the 2TRACK RETURNS – CD player, tape deck, etc. – always begin with the 2TRACK to MASTER control adjusted at its minimal setting. Otherwise, depending on the quality of the connected sound source, the outputted volume can instantly “hit the top”.
