Electronically

XLR-type
inputs
for
the
connection
of
low
impedance
microphones,
likewise
the
ones
that
are
featured
in
major
studio
and
live
mixing
consoles.
This
type
of
input
stage
provides
extraordinary
low
noise
signal
conversion
at
an
extremely
low
distortion
rate
(typical
.002%)
even
in
the
high
frequency
range.

Before
you
do
so,
please
refer
to
the
owner’s
manual
of
the
microphone.

depending
on
the
setting
of
the

Because
of
their
low
impedance
design
and
the
phantom
power
these
XLR-type
inputs
are
not
meant
for
cascading
other
mixing
consoles
or
the
connection
of
FX
units,
keyboards
or
other
electronic
equipment
When
connecting
this
kind
of
equipment,
please
utilize
the
LINE
level
inputs.

Electronically
balanced
inputs
for
the
connection
of
electronic
instruments,
such
as
keyboards,
drum
computers.
E-guitars
and
E-basses
with
an
active
output,
as
well
as
all
other
high
level
signal
sources,
like
additional
mixers,
FX
units,
CD
player,
etc.
The
LINE
input
is
laid
out
for
levels
between
-40dBu
...
+30dBu.
The
connection
of
balanced
or
unbalanced
signal
sources
is
established
through
monaural
or
stereo
phone
plugs,
assigned
according
to
the
diagram
below.
If
the
device
that
you
are
going
to
connect
provides
a
balanced
output
stage,
using
balanced
cables
with
stereo
phone
plugs
is
certainly
preferable.
This
type
of
connection
is
greatly
insensitive
to
the
induction
of
external
noise
or
HF
interference.
UNBALANCED
SHELD
Do
not
connect
signal
sources
to
a
channel's
MIC
and
the
LINE
inputs
at
the
same
time,
since
the
signals
cause
mutual
interference,
resulting
in
a
level
reduction.
One
more
note:
If
possible,
please,
do
not
connect
E-guitars
or
E-basses
with
passive,
high
impedance
outputs
directly
to
one
of
the
mixing
console’s
LINE
inputs.
The
LINE
inputs
of
the
PSX
-
like
the
Line
level
inputs
of
mixers
from
other
manufacturers
-
are
meant
for
the
connection
of
relatively
low
source
impedance
as
they
are
found
with
electronic
instruments.
The
reproduction
of
the
instrument's
original
sound
characteristics
will
be
unsatisfactory
-
unless
this
effect
is
intended.
Those
instruments
should
be
connected
using
a
special
transformer
or
pre-amplifier
with
very
high
input
impedance.
Musical
instruments
that
are
equipped
with
an
active
electronic
output
stage
(battery)
can
be
connected
without
second
thoughts.
When
connecting
signal
sources,
please
make
sure
that
the
corresponding
channel
faders
or
at
least
the
master
faders
are
at
their
minimal
settings
or
that
the
STANDBY
button
is
engaged.
This
will
save
you,
your
audience,
and
the
equipment
from
extensive
wear
from
unpleasant
knacking
noise.

Rotary
control
to
adjust
the
MIC
or
LINE
inputs'
sensitivity.
These
controls
let
you
optimally
adjust
the
incoming
signals
to
the
mixer’s
internal
operation
level.
Cautious
adjusting
offers
the
benefits
of
an
improved
S/N-ration
and
provides
you
with
the
full
bandwidth
of
the
PSX’s
outstanding
sound
capabilities.
On
the
XLR-type
connectors
an
amplification
of
+
lOdB
is
achieved
when
the
control
is
set
all
the
way
to
the
left
and
+60dB
when
the
control
is
set
to
its
maximum
position
to
the
right.
Especially
when
dealing
with
very
low
input
levels,
like
they
occur
during
vocal
recordings
or
when
the
sound
source
is
located
in
a
distance,
the
high
gain
is
extremely
profitable.
Using
the
LINE-input,
the
signal
is
generally
attenuated
by
-20
dB,
while
the
total
adjustment
range
of
50dB
is
maintained.
The
LINE-input’s
unity
gain
-
no
amplification
(0
dB)
-
is
achieved
at
the
20dB
mark.
The
following
is
meant
as
a
short
note
for
your
assistance
on
how
to
determine
the
correct
input
level:
Note
on
how
to
adjust
the
input
level:
1.
Set
the
gain
control
and
the
corresponding
channel
fader
to
their
lowest
setting.
2.
Connect
the
desired
sound
source
(microphone,
musical
instrument,
etc.)
to
the
corresponding
MIC
or
LINE
input.
3.
Play
the
sound
source
at
its
highest
volume
setting
-
respectively,
sing
or
speak
as
loud
as
possible
directly
into
the
microphone.
4.
While
you
are
playing
the
sound
source
or
singing
into
the
microphone,
adjust
the
input
level
using
the
gain
control,
so
that
during
the
loudest
passages
the
PEAK
LED
is
just
not
lit,
but
the
SIGNAL-present
LED
lights
constantly.
This
is
the
basic
channel
setting,
leaving
you
with
at
least
6dB
of
headroom.
Which
means,
you
have
at
least
a
range
of
6dB
before
signal
clipping.
In
case
you
intend
to
make
further
adjustments
to
the
channel's
EQ
setting,
you
should
perform
steps
3.
and
4.
again
afterwards,
since
changes
in
the
sound
shaping
section
also
influence
the
channel's
overall
level.
