Main Outputs

The Main Outputs provide a stereo mixdown for a recording device through electronically balanced XLR outputs. Here as a rule you will route the stereo mix through an A/D converter for re-recording as a new DAW track.

Monitor Outputs

The Monitor Outputs run parallel with the Main Outs and provide for separate monitoring of the stereo mixdown through elec- tronically balanced XLR outputs.

TIP: SPL’s Monitor & Talkback Controller MTC 2381 offers all necessary control functionality for DAW monitoring at this stage.

IMPORTANT: Since Main and Monitor Outs function in parallel, using a non-balanced connection in one results in both outputs being unbalanced.

Expansion Inputs

This is another stereo input based on electronically balanced XLR connectors. It can be activated with the Expansion Input switch at the right set of switches on the front. Usually the Main Outputs of another MixDreamXP are connected here to enable summing of up to 32 channels, but of course any (stereo) summed signal can be connected here.

IMPORTANT: The Expansion Inputs of the summing MixDreamXP must be connected to the Main Output of the second MixDreamXP—never connect both Expansion Inputs!

TIP for owners of the MixDream 2384: A MixDreamXP should always be used for Mixdream 2384 expansion. This way you can always make use of the processing stages of the MixDream 2384 for the final stereo mix (Stereo Expander, Limiter, Master Insert, Output Transformers).
