Rear Input/Output Section1Channel Input Jacks
• MIC jacks (CHs 1 to 4, 5/6, 7/8)
These are balanced XLR-type microphone input jacks
(1:Ground; 2:Hot; 3:Cold).
• LINE jacks (CHs 1 to 4)
These are balanced TRS phone-type line input jacks
(T:Hot; R:Cold; S:Ground).
You can connect either balanced or unbalanced phone
plugs to these jacks.
nWhere an input channel provides both a MIC INPUT jack
and a LINE INPUT 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.
2INSERT I/O Jacks
Each of these jacks is positioned between the equalizer
and fader of the corresponding input channel (CHs 1 to
4). 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.
nConnection to an INSERT I/O jack requires a special
separately-sold insertion cable such as illustrated
below.
nThe signal output from the INSERT I/O jacks is
reverse-phased. This will not be a problem if connecting
the jack to an effector. If using the jack to output to an
external device, however, please be aware of possible
phase conflicts with other signals.
3Channel Input Jacks
These are unbalanced stereo line input jacks. Two jack
types are provided: phone type (CHs 5/6 to 11/12) and
RCA pin type (CHs 9/10, 11/12).
nWhere a channel provides both phone jacks and RCA
pin jacks, 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.
4GROUP OUT (1, 2) Jacks
These are impedance-balanced phone-type output jacks
that output the Group 1-2 signals. Use these jacks to
connect to the input jacks of an MTR, external mixer, or
other such device.
5ST OUT (L, R) Jacks
These jacks deliver stereo output of the mixed signal. You
use these jacks, for example, to connect to the power
amplifier driving your main speakers. You also use these
jacks when you wish to record the signal utilizing the
level control applied by the ST Master fader in the Master
Control section.
• XLR jacks
XLR-type balanced output jacks.
• LINE jacks
TRS phone-type balanced output jacks.
6C-R OUT (L, R) Jacks
These are impedance-balanced phone-type output
jacks. You use these jacks, for example, to connect to the
monitor system.
nThe signal monitored by these jacks is selected by the
settings of the ST-GROUP toggle switch, the 2TR IN
/USB switch, and the PFL switches on the input
channels.
