FX: see the mono channel section for more information. For the stereo channels, the FX work the same way,
but left and right signals are sent to the effects processor or external equipment. Bear in mind that the effects
signal will become mono if one of the chains in the circuit is switched to mono.
Please note: the FX pad is activated post fader. If the level knob of the channel is turned all the way down so
that no sound is sent to the Master signal, no signal will be sent to the effects section either.
Balance knob: the balance knob on the stereo channels is similar to the Pan knob on the mono channels,
but it determines the balance between the left and right signals rather than the position of the mono signal. If
the knob is turned towards the left, the right signal will be dampened appropriately and vice versa.
Level: see the mono channel section for more information.
CLIP LED: see the mono channel section for more information.
Signal outputs
There are different ways to send the mixed signals from the
MixPad mixers to recording equipment, speakers or external
effects, for instance, that can then be returned to the mixer again.
Phones/CR out: the Phones and Control Room output use the
same signal. This is actually the same as the master signal before
it reaches the master fader. Changing the level of the master
signal will not affect the level of the Phones or Control Room
signal, therefore. This can be adjusted using the CR & Phones
volume knob.
This setup can be handy for situations like the following:
- (internet) radio broadcasting where the Main Out signal is sent
to speakers in the room and the Control Room signal is sent to
recording equipment, for instance.
- recording live performances where the Control Room output is
sent to recording equipment and the Main Out signal needs to be
adjusted before it reaches the audience.
There are separate left and right Control Room connectors that support balanced signals when TRS jacks
are used. The headphone socket also accepts a TRS jack, but if your headphones have a mini jack
connector, you can always use a mini jack to jack adapter plug (not included).
Main Out: the Main Out connectors are designed to send the master signal (after it's passed through the
fader) to external equipment. Depending on the purpose, this could be a PA speaker system or recording
equipment. These connectors are TRS jacks that support balanced audio signals.
The master fader is used to accurately adjust the overall volume. When it's turned all the way down, no
sound will get through. When it's set to the zero point, the full signal will get through without any attenuation
or amplification. It's possible to amplify the signal by up to +10 dB, but this is not recommended unless it's
absolutely necessary because it can have a detrimental effect on the overall sound quality.
Send FX/FX Send: this output can be used to send a signal to external effects equipment. The FX knob on
each channel allows you to determine the level at which the channel's output signal is sent out. The effects
can then be adjusted on your external equipment and returned to the mixer via a stereo channel.
CD/Tape in: this input can be used to connect CD players and line signals from similar devices like
smartphones, laptops, tablets and MP3 players.
This input has unbalanced stereo RCA connectors.
