3.0 Operation Mode Options

3.1 Operation mode options

Before making connections, decide how you want the sound sources distributed throughout the site. This depends on whether the area is specified for one or two zones, the kind of coverage needed, and the sources to be used.

The mixer/amplifier provides three different modes of operation.

Mixer Mode

In Mixer Mode, the system can mix up to four mic/line inputs to each of the two output channels for use in one or two zones.

Stereo Select Mode

In Stereo Select Mode, with up to two stereo sources connected and using both output channels, the system provides stereo sound to a single output zone. Refer to “Stereo Select Mode” on page 9.

Dual Mono Select Mode

In Dual Mono Select Mode, with up to two input sources connected to each of the two output channels, the system provides audio in two zones. Refer to “Dual Mono Select Mode” on page 9.

3.1.1 Mixer Mode

Line-level sources can be connected using the RCA jacks or Euroblock connectors. The system sums the two RCA jacks for each input to mono.

Microphones must be connected using the Euroblock connec- tors. Make sure the MIC/LINE switch is set to MIC.

Mixer mode sources can be routed to either or both outputs, as shown below.

Sources can be independently routed to the auxiliary output.

In normal operation, the OUTPUT 1 and 2 gain controls are used to control the gains of OUTPUT 1 and 2, respectively. In this mode, you have the MASTERVOL LINKED option, which allows you to configure the OUTPUT 1 gain control to control the gains of OUTPUT 1 and 2 simultaneously.

Note: With use of a user interface, the chassis output gain knob is disabled.

Use of one or two volume control user interfaces is optional. For further detail, see “Mode user interface requirements” on page 31.
