2 − Names and Functions of Parts

Rear panel

xAUX SEND 1 and 2 jacks (standard jacks)

These are balanced outputs for the AUX bus 1 and 2 signals. Unbalanced connections are also possible. Use with external effects or monitoring systems.

cLINE input jacks (standard jacks)

The outputs of electronic instruments, audio equipment and other line level signals can be connected to these input jacks. Both 3-pole balanced and 2-pole unbal- anced standard plugs can be connected.

vMIC input connectors (XLR connectors)

These are balanced mic inputs wired for pin 2 to be hot.

bON/STANDBY switch

Turns the mixer power ON and STANDBY.

nDC IN 12V

Connect the included AC adaptor (TASCAM PS-1225L) here.

In order to prevent the cord from being accidentally disconnected during use, pass the cord through the cord holder.

mSTEREO OUTPUTS jacks (standard and RCA pin jacks)

These output the stereo bus signals.

The standard jacks (L, R, MONO) output balanced sig- nals, but connection with unbalanced cables is also pos- sible. The MONO jack outputs a monaural signal.

The RCA pin jacks (L, R) output unbalanced signals.

,PHANTOM (+48V) switch

Use this to turn +48V phantom power to channel 1-6 MIC inputs ON and OFF.

CAUTION

Do not connect or disconnect mics when the PHANTOM (+48V) switch is ON.

*M-164UF only

.Cord holder

Use this to hold the cord and prevent accidental discon- nection of the plug.

/SUB OUTPUTS (standard jacks)

These output the SUB bus signals on balanced jacks, but connection with unbalanced cables is also possible. The MONO jack outputs a monaural signal.

!SIGNAL GND

When connecting a record player to channels 9-10, connect the player’s grounding wire here.

If humming occurs when external equipment other than a record player is connected to the mixer, connecting this jack with part of the metal frame of the external equipment (or the rack frame if rack mounted) with grounding wire might reduce the noise.

@13-14 input jacks (standard jacks)

The outputs of electronic instruments, audio equipment and other line level signals can be connected to these input jacks. Both 3-pole balanced and 2-pole unbal- anced standard plugs can be connected.

If a connection is only made to the L/MONO input jack, the signal is sent to both left and right channels.

On M-164FX and M-164UF mixers, do not connect anything to this input jack if the internal effects return channels are set to channels 13-14 (INT. EFFECT RTN switch not pushed in).

#9-10, 11-12 input jacks (RCA pin jacks)

The outputs of electronic instruments, audio equipment and other line level signals can be connected to these unbalanced input jacks.

A record player can also be connected to the 9-10 input jacks. When doing so, also connect the grounding wire from the record player to the SIGNAL GND jack and turn the PHONO ON switch on the top panel ON.
