3 − Preparation for Use
Making stereo output connections
CAUTION
Turn the power OFF on all equipment to be connected and set the mixer to standby before making connections.
The mixer stereo bus output is usually used as the main output and connected to an external amplifier or speaker system. Depending on the type of amplifier, use the STEREO OUTPUTS standard jacks (L, R) or the RCA pin jacks (L, R). The standard jacks provide balanced outputs, but unbalanced cables can also be used to connect to amplification systems with unbalanced inputs.
Connecting headphones
To monitor with headphones, connect stereo headphones to the PHONES jack on the top panel.
Stereo amplifier
•• Using the MONO jack instead of the L and R jacks is convenient when connecting to a mono amplifier.
•• Using both the STEREO OUTPUTS and SUB OUTPUTS is convenient for connecting two amplification or speaker systems at the same time, including setups with main and sub speakers or main and monitor speakers. Each output pair has a dedicated fader, so you can set their levels independently with the mixer.
•• By connecting the SUB OUTPUTS to a recorder, you can record the same stereo mix signal as it is output from an amplification or speaker system.
Making input sound source connections

Turn the power OFF on the mixer and all equipment to be connected before making connections.
