Stereo Inputs
Channels 7 and 8 provide two inputs for each channel. These are intended for stereo use‚ as each input (Left‚ Right) has a fixed assignment to the Left and Right output buses. Additionally‚ a sum of both inputs is fed simultaneously to the Aux output bus. Although you cannot change the distribution of these inputs‚ you can determine if they are stereo or mono. The Mode switch‚ when enabled‚ will sum both connectors‚ feeding both to the Left and Right outputs simultaneously. These connectors accept nominal levels of

The Mode switch selects either Stereo mode or Mono mode individually for channel 7 or 8. In Stereo mode‚ the Left input signal feeds the Left mix bus and the Right input signal feeds the Right mix bus via the front panel Level control. In Mono mode‚ the summed Left and Right signals feed both the Left and Right mix buses. This allows for only one input to be used to feed stereo mix buses. Additionally‚ it allows for Left and Right outputs of the source to be summed without a

The cabling for these connectors should be of the standard‚ consumer unbalanced shielded type. If you are using a 2- conductor shielded cable‚ make sure to connect the negative side of the signal to the shield. Note: Unbalanced signal sources should be located within approximately 6' of the SMR™821a.
