USING THE RQ™ 1606M AS A HOUSE MIXER:
1.Connect the low-impedance microphones to the XLR inputs. Any mic that requires an external effect processor or compressor should be connected to one of the first eight inputs which have insert jacks.
2.High-impedance inputs (synth, CD, tape, etc.) should be connected to the 1/4" Hi-Z inputs on channels 9-16. These are balanced (TRS) and have the same gain as the XLR inputs, but do not have phantom power available. High level signals will require activation of the 20 dB pad switch (located by the jack) to avoid clipping.
3.Connect the monitor power amp inputs to the monitor outputs. Both balanced and unbalanced outputs are provided and can be used simultaneously.
4.The house power amp inputs connect to the left/right (or the mono) outputs.
5.If effects are desired, set monitor 5 and 6 sends to post fader and route these monitor outputs to the effect device’s inputs. The effect return signal must be brought back into
the monitor’s line input or into the mixer using unused input channels (9-16 have Hi-Z inputs). Do not turn up the monitor 5 or 6 sends on these channels or feedback will result. Local monitoring can be done with either headphones or the wedge outputs.
