COMMANDER PLUS™	CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

43.AC CONNECTION - This connector is used to supply main power to the unit via the included detachable power cord. The power connection uses an I.E.C. type connector, use only the supplied, polarized AC power cord. Use only a power cord that matches this type of connection. Be sure to only connect this unit to a power outlet that matches the printed power label on the unit. Never use a power when the ground prong has been removed or broken off. The ground prong is used to reduce the risk of electrical shock in case of an electrical short. This cord is designed to fit in one direction only. Do not attempt to force a cord if it does not fit, be sure the cord is being inserted properly.

44.BALANCED XLR MASTER OUTPUTS - The Master Output includes a pair XLR Balanced JACKS as well as a pair RCA UNBALANCED JACKS (48). The 3-pin XLR jacks send a high current balanced output signal. These jacks should be used when you will be driving an amp or other audio equipment with a balanced input, or whenever you will be running a signal line greater than 15 feet. Always, use these jacks whenever possible.

45.SEND and RECEIVE EFFECT JACKS - These 1/4” jacks are used for line level effects inputs only. You may connect a variety of outboard effect units to these jacks, such as reverbs and flangers. Input volume will be controlled by the RECEIVE KNOB (25) and the output volume will be controlled by the SEND KNOB (21).

46.ZONE LEVEL OUTPUTS - Use these separate output signals to drive a booth monitor or separate sound system. The output level for these jacks will be controlled by the ZONE 1 (17) and ZONE 2 (18) controller sections. These RCA jacks send a low current, unbalanced output signal. These jacks should only be used for shorter cable runs to signal processors or looping to another mixer.

47.REC OUT - This is a low current unbalanced output source designed for various tape and CD recorders. The Record Out (REC OUT) level is dictated by the CHANNEL FADER LEVEL (10), it is not influenced by the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (26).

48.RCA MASTER OUTPUTS - The Master Output includes a pair XLR BALANCED JACKS (44) as well as a pair RCA Unbalanced Jacks. The RCA jacks send a low current unbalanced output signal. These jacks should only be used for shorter cable runs to signal processors or looping to another mixer. For cable runs greater than 15 feet use the XLR BALANCED JACKS (44).

49.CHANNEL 4: RCA LINE INPUT JACKS - These Jacks are used for line level inputs. Connect CD players or Tape Decks to LINE inputs. Line level musical instruments with stereo outputs such as Rhythm Machines or Samplers should also be connected to LINE inputs. Turntables should only be connected to “Phono” inputs. The red colored RCA jack represents the right channel input and the white represents the left channel input. Input volume will be controlled by channel four CHANNEL FADER (10).

50.CHANNEL 3: PHONO 3 INPUT/AUX 3 and LINE INPUT JACKS - The type of input must directly reflect the selected mode of the LINE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCH (40). Connect turntables equipped with MM pickup cartridge to PHONO inputs (All DJ turntable use MM pick-up cartridges). CD players or Tape Decks and other line level instruments may be connected to these jacks as long as the LINE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCH (40) is in the “AUX 3” position. The red colored RCA jack represents the right channel input and the white represents the left channel input. Input volume will be controlled by channel three CHANNEL FADER (10). The channel SOURCE SELECTOR SWITCH (31) must be in the "Phono 3/Aux 3" position, to monitor any source connected to these jacks.

51.CHANNEL 2: PHONO 2 INPUT/AUX 2 and LINE INPUT JACKS - The type of input must directly reflect the selected mode of the LINE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCH (40). Connect turntables
