1MIC/LINE INPUT jacks 1–8

(XLR/TRS Phone)

These balanced input jacks accept both XLR-3-31 and

TRS phone plug type connectors. Nominal input sensitiv-

ity can be adjusted from –46 dBu to +4 dBu. Just about

any type of balanced source can be connected here –

microphones, direct boxes, or the output from equipment

with balanced line-level outputs. Unbalanced lines with

standard phone plug connectors can be directly connected

to the TRS inputs. Connector wiring is as shown below.

BMIC/LINE INPUT jack 8 (Hi-Z)

This is a high impedance 1/4" phone input jack (unbal-

anced). The nominal input level is –46 to +4 dBu. An

instrument with high output impedance such as an electric

guitar or bass with passive-type pickups can be connected

here.

CSTEREO/AUX OUT jacks

These are 1/4" phone output jacks (unbalanced) that out-

put the signals of the stereo bus or AUX bus 1/2.

DMONITOR OUT jacks

These are 1/4" phone output jacks (unbalanced) for con-

nection to your monitor setup, such as a stereo system or

powered speakers.

EPHONES jack

This is a 1/4" TRS phone output jack for connecting your

headphones for monitoring.
