Main Mix

XLR MAIN OUTPUTS

The male XLR output connectors provide a balanced line-level signal that represents the end of the mixer chain, where your fully mixed stereo main mix signals enter the real world. Connect these outputs to the inputs of your main power amplifiers, powered speakers, or serial effects processor (or a graphic equalizer or compressor/limiter). The output provides a fully balanced signal playing the same program material as the 1/4" TRS main outs.

MAIN MIX and FIREWIRE

The main mix can be sent to your computer via two dedicated Firewire signals. The output is not affected by the main mix fader, allowing you to record the main mix of live performances. The left main mix will appear on FireWire output channel 15, and the right on channel 16.

In addition to recording the main mix using FireWire, you can record individual channels using FireWire, for studio mixing at a later date. See page 15.

MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL (+4 dB/MIC)

When this recessed switch is out (+4 dB), the XLR main outputs provide a "+4 dBu" line-level signal. You can then connect these outputs to the line-level inputs of power amplifiers, powered loudspeakers, or serial processors. In a studio setting, you could connect the main mix to the inputs of a professional stereo recorder.

When the switch is pushed in (mic), the XLR main outputs are attenuated to microphone level. You can then connect these outputs safely to the microphone inputs of another mixer, providing a submix for keyboards or drums, for example, in a live sound application. The main outputs can then be plugged directly into a stage snake, and appear back at the front of house console like any other microphone level source.

When mic is engaged, you can safely plug the XLR main output into another mixer's microphone input, even if it provides 48 V phantom power.

The switch is recessed, to reduce the chance of accidently turning it on or off when plugging things in.

TAPE OUT

This RCA unbalanced output is a copy of the main mix (post fader). You can use it to record the main mix on an analog tape deck for example.

These 1/4" TRS output connectors provide the balanced or unbalanced line-level output of the main mix. This is the same signal that appears at the XLR main outputs, except it is not affected by the main output level switch.

This is the main stereo fader that adjusts the level of the XLR and 1/4" main outputs, and the tape output. It does not affect the FireWire output of the main mix.

If the gain of each channel has been set up correctly for all your microphones, line-level sources, guitars, and so on, then these channels can be added to the main mix by careful adjustment of the channel faders. The main mix fader is then used to turn the complete main mix level up and down.
