(23) AUX SEND

The Aux Send jack provides a mono mixed signal from the input channels, which can be connected to an external effects unit or other devices. The signal is adjusted by the channel Aux Send(7) controls of each channel and is post channel level control.

(24) AUX RETURN

These balanced Left and Right Aux ¼” inputs can be used to return the effected signal into the MM-15USB or it can be used as an auxiliary input for line level devices. The signal level is adjusted by the Aux Return(17) control.

(25) STEREO MINI INPUT

This 1/8” stereo mini input can be used to input stereo audio signals from any piece of equipment with line level or headphone level outputs, in particular cassette, CD, or MP3 players. The Tape/USB To Mix(18) pushbutton switch must be enabled for the 1/8” input signal to be mixed onto the Main bus.

(26) STEREO MINI OUTPUT

This 1/8” TRS jack outputs a line level stereo signal. When the Aux to Record(16) switch is enabled, the Channel Aux bus signal is sent to both L and R connections on the TRS jack.
