11LINE INPUTS (Ch 7-8)

These high impedance 1/4” inputs are for line-level signals. The inputs are summed to mono‚ allowing a stereo source to be input into these channels. In critical situations‚ two mono line sources can be connected to one input.

12TRACK SELECT

The input to Channel 9/10 can be selected as left (mono), right (mono) or summed	11
mono input. This Track Select switch is specifically included to help when using
soundtracks that are split into vocal and accompaniment tracks. By pressing the
Left (L) button, the left signal is fed into both channels. By pressing the Right (R)
button, the right signal is fed into both channels. However, when both buttons are
simultaneously in the "UP" or "DOWN" position, the left and right channel signals
are "summed together."

13MEDIA IN

This pair of RCA jacks accepts a stereo input (-10 dBV nominal) from the output of an MP3 player, CD player, tape deck or other similar device. The signal is placed on the main channel as well as the monitor mix.

14PHANTOM POWER SWITCH

When depressed‚ this switch applies 48 VDC to all input XLR connectors to power microphones that require phantom power.

Caution: When phantom power is switched on‚ make sure that any channel you are plugging a microphone into is turned down and the Master Main and Monitor controls are set to minimum. Otherwise‚ there will be a loud pop in the system. For best results, first plug in all microphones into their respective channels before phantom power is switched on. This reduces noise through the system and reduces the chance of damage to the microphones. If phantom power is used‚ do not connect unbalanced‚ dynamic microphones or other devices to the XLR inputs that cannot handle this voltage. (Some wireless receivers may be damaged. Consult their manuals.) The line input jacks are not connected to the phantom supply and are safe for all inputs (balanced or unbalanced). An unbalanced to balanced impedance converter such as the Peavey 5116 or a Peavey 1:1 Interface Adapter may also be used to isolate a microphone from phantom voltage.
