Introduction

Parts and their function

Top panel

1[INPUT 1], [INPUT 2] jacks

Use these jacks to input mic/line signals (such as from a keyboard).

You can use either XLR jacks or TRS phone jacks, and both sets of jacks are balanced.

Unbalanced phone plugs can also be connected.

The XLR jacks can supply +48 V phantom power to con- denser mics.

If you connect a plug to the phone jack, no signal can be input from the corresponding XLR jack. If you want to use the XLR jack, disconnect any plug from the corresponding phone jack.

If you connect a plug to the [GUITAR IN] jack, no signal can be input from the [INPUT 1] jack. If you want to input a signal from the [INPUT 1] jack, disconnect any plug from the [GUITAR IN] jack.

These TRS phone jacks do not individually allow stereo input.

Although the input level will depend on the device or performance, here are some guidelines for setting these knobs.

–60 – –40 dBu: mic input

–30 dBu: guitar or bass guitar

–10 dBu: CD player or other consumer audio device

+4 dBu: keyboard or studio equipment

If nothing is connected, you may hear hum or noise when you raise the [TRIM] knobs.

2[INPUT 3], [INPUT 4] jacks

Use these jacks to input mic/line signals (such as from a keyboard).

These are balanced TRS phone jacks. Unbalanced phone plugs can also be connected.

These TRS phone jacks do not individually allow stereo input.

3[TRIM] knob: –60...–10....+4 dBu

These knobs adjust the input level. Input level calibra- tion marks are printed on the panel. Adjust the [TRIM] knobs so that the peak indicators (the LEDs near each knob) light when the input level of the connected instru- ment or device is loudest.

5[EXPRESSION PEDAL] jack

A pedal connected to this jack can be used to control a speciﬁed parameter of an insert effect. This lets you con-

trol an effect in realtime while you perform or record. (→ p.44)

Connect an EXP-2 or XVP-10 expression pedal (sold sep- arately) to this jack.

6[AUX OUT] jack

This outputs the external send audio signal from each mixer channel. (The send amount is adjusted in the [MASTER EFFECT/AUX SEND] “AuxSnd” tab page.) Connect this jack to an external effect processor.

This is a phone jack.
