(15A) L (MONO) LINE INPUT

On stereo input channels 5-12 (SRM-12X) or 7-14 (SRM- 14X), the 1/4" line inputs are designed for stereo or mono line-level signals such as those from keyboards, drum machines, CD players, tape decks, or samplers. However, these inputs can also be used as standard mono line inputs by connecting the signal to the L (MONO) line in. This signal will be routed equally to the BAL control and the left and right outputs in the same way as the standard line input channels. For the stereo line inputs the mono channel PAN (7) control is replaced by the BAL (Balance) control. See also BAL CON- TROL (16) below.

(15B) R LINE INPUT

When using channels 5-6, 7-8, 9-10,11-12 (SRM-12X) or 7-8, 9-10,11-12, 13-14 (SRM-14X) as stereo input channels, the left signal should be connected to the L input and the right signal to the R input. These signals will be routed to the AUX, EQ and Channel fader controls equally and will retain their stereo separation. The AUX, EQ, BAL, and Channel fader controls all function the same as those on the mono input channels.

When a stereo signal is input to a stereo input channel, these controls will affect the left and right signals equally.

The Stereo Line Inputs jacks are 1/4" TRS balanced phone jacks, Tip = positive (+), Ring = negative (-), Sleeve = ground. The input signals to these jacks can be either balanced or unbalanced.

(5) EQUALIZERS

The stereo channel EQ’s operate in the same manner as those in the mono channels. The left and right signals will be affected equally. A stereo equalizer is generally preferable anyhow to using two mono equalizers when equalizing a stereo signal as it avoids possible discrepancies between the left and right settings.

(6) AUX SENDS

These are the same as for the mono channels. Note that a mono sum is taken from the stereo input.

(16)BAL CONTROL For a mono input to the L (MONO) input the function of the control is the same as the PAN controls (7) of the mono channels. However, when a channel is run in stereo, this control functions as a Balance control, determining the rela- tive Balance of the left and right channel signals being sent to the left and right Master Mix buses. For exam- ple, with the Balance control turned fully clockwise, only the right portion of the chan- nel’s stereo signal will be routed to the Master Mix.

(9)PFL SELECT SWITCH

(10)CHANNEL FADER

This has the same function as for the mono channels. See

MONO INPUT SECTION.
