MDR624 Input and Output Connections

CHANNEL 1 – 6 MIC and LINE INPUTS

The MDR624’s channels 1 and 2 mono input channels each have a 1/4-inch connector for line level inputs and XLR connectors for the MIC inputs. Channels 3/4 and 5/6 stereo input channels each have 1/4-inch connectors for line level inputs. By using the GAIN control on channels 1 + 2, you can connect a variety of signal sources from microphones to line level devices such as synthesizers, and drum machines. All the LINE and MIC inputs are balanced. The MIC inputs are compatible with microphones with output impedances of 50~600 Ohms and the LINE inputs are compatible with line level devices of 600 Ohms.

NOTE: It is not possible to simultaneously use both the LINE and MIC inputs on the same channel. Use only one of the inputs for the appropriate source on each channel.

Following below is a detailed description of the MDR624’s input and output connectors.

Line Level Input - Mono Input Channels

Use these inputs to connect synthesizers, drum machines, effects processors or any line-level signal. The LINE inputs have a nominal operating level of -40dB through - 10dB. TRS phone jacks Connector pin-out - Sleeve: Ground, Tip: Hot (+), Ring: Cold (-)

Line Level Input - Stereo Input Channels

You can connect the outputs from stereo devices such as synthesizers, drum machines, effects processors or any stereo line-level signal. Use the LEFT input when connecting a mono input signal to the Stereo Input channels. The LINE inputs have a nominal operating level of -40dB through - 10dB.
