Channel Input Jacks
• MIC jacks (CHs 1 to 8, 9/10, 11/12)
These are balanced XLR-type input jacks.
•LINE jacks (CHs 1 to 8)
These are balanced phone-type input jacks. You can connect
either balanced or unbalanced phone plugs to these jacks.
Where an input channel provides both a MIC jack
and a LINE jack, you may use either one of these
jacks but you may not use both at the same time.
Please connect to only one of these jacks on each
channel.

INSERT I/O Jacks
These are unbalanced phone-type input/output jacks. Each of
these jacks is positioned between the equalizer and fader of the
corresponding input channel (CHs 1 to 8). These jacks can be
used to independently connect these channels to devices such
as graphic equalizers, compressors, and noise filters. These are
TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that support bidirectional
operation.
Connection to an INSERT I/O jack requires a spe-
cial separately-sold insertion cable such as illus-
trated below.
The signal output from the INSERT I/O jacks is
reverse-phased. This will not be a problem if con-
necting the jack to an effector. If using the jack to out-
put to an external device, however, please be aware
of possible phase conflicts with other signals.

Channel Input Jacks
These are unbalanced input jacks. Two jack types are provided:
phone type (CHs 9/10 to 15/16) and RCA pin type (CHs 13/14,
15/16). Use these jacks to input stereo signals, inputting the L
signal(s) to the odd-numbered channel(s) and the R signal(s) to
the even-numbered channel(s).
•Where a channel provides both a phone jack and
an RCA pin jack, you may use either one of these
jacks but you may not use both at the same time.
Please connect to only of these jacks on each
channel.
•The phone-type jacks for CH9/10 and 11/12 also
support monaural input. Specifically, if you input
only into the L(MONO) jack of either pair (while
leaving the R jack empty), the mixer will propa-
gate the same signal through both the L(MONO)
and R inputs.
4
GROUP OUT (1 to 4) Jacks
These are impedance-balanced phone-type output jacks that
output the Group 1-2/3-4 signals. Use these jacks to connect to
the input jacks of an MTR, external mixer, or other such
device.
5
ST OUT (L, R) Jacks
These jacks output the mixed signal whose level is adjusted by
the ST fader in the Master Control section. Output is in stereo
(L and R). You use these jacks, for example, to connect to the
power amplifier driving your main speakers.
•XLR jacks
XLR-type balanced output jacks.
•Phone jacks
TRS phone-type balanced output jacks.
