MDR10 Input and Output Connections

EXTERNAL OUTPUT JACKS

The MDR10 features several output connectors allowing you to interface a variety of external devices. A stereo recording device such as a cassette recorder can be connected to the 2 Track jacks, and power amplifiers can be connected to the CONTROL ROOM and MAIN output jacks.

5 LEFT/RIGHT MIX

In a live sound application the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX outputs are connected to a power amplifier or powered speak- ers. In a recording application, the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX outputs are used to connect a stereo device such as computer sound card, DAT, or cassette recorder.

6 3/4 OUTPUT

In a live sound application, the 3/4 bus outputs are connected to a power amplifier or powered speakers. In a recording application, the 3/4 outputs are used to connect a stereo device such as computer sound card, DAT, or cassette recorder.

7 FX RET 1 LEFT/RIGHT

The FX RET 1 LEFT/RIGHT are stereo inputs that are generally used to connect the outputs of an effects processor, but can also accept the signal from any line level source like a keyboard, recorder and even another mixer. The signal connected to the FX RET 1 LEFT/RIGHT will feed the main LEFT/RIGHT MIX bus. The overall level is controlled by the FX RETURN 1 knob located in the master section on the front panel

8 FX RET 2 LEFT/RIGHT

The FX RET 2 LEFT/RIGHT are stereo inputs that are generally used to connect the outputs of an effects processor, but can also accept the signal from any line level source like a keyboard, recorder and even another mixer. The signal connected to the FX RET 2 LEFT/RIGHT will feed the main LEFT/RIGHT MIX bus. The overall level is controlled by the FX RETURN 2 knob located in the master section on the front panel

9 AUX 1 Output

10

11

The signal present at the AUX 1 output is sent from the AUX 1 bus, which is fed from the AUX 1 send on the input channels. The AUX 1 output can be used as the MONITOR MIX bus in a live sound situation by connecting the output to a power amp and monitor speaker.

AUX 2 OUTPUT

The AUX 2 output is used to send a signal to an external signal processor such as a delay or reverb. The signal present at the AUX 2 output is sent from the AUX2/DSP bus, which is fed from the AUX2/DSP send on the input channels.

CONTROL ROOM LEFT/RIGHT

12

13

The Control Room outputs are used to connect a studio monitor system. The Control Room outputs have the same output as the L/R MIX, however, the level can be adjusted independently from the main mix using the C ROOM/HEADPHONES control.

MONO OUTPUT

The Left and Right Mix outputs are summed together and sent to the MONO output. The level of the Mono signal can be adjusted using the MONO OUT level control located just below the connector and used to feed a speaker zone in a fixed installation.
