I/O Connectors
INPUTS
(13) MIC/LINE IN Combo XLR Connector
MIC/ LINE IN connects directly to the MIC pre-amp gain stage. This combo connector
accepts balanced signals on either an XLR connector or ¼” TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) plug.
The XLR connector is best suited for microphones whereas the ¼” input is best for line
level inputs. Signals at the XLR connector have the most available gain while the ¼” Line
input has the most headroom (to accommodate Line Level amplitude).
We recommend you always connect balanced signals to the MIC/LINE IN connector.
When connecting an unbalanced signal to the MIC pre-amp, we recommend using the
INST IN ¼” jack. The XLR connector is not suited for unbalanced signals.
Note: Phantom power is applied to the XLR input, not the ¼” jack.
(14) INST IN ¼” Phonejack
Use the high impedance (Hi-Z) INST IN jack to connect instruments, and other
unbalanced signals.
When you insert a plug into the INST IN jack the input to the MIC pre-amp is mixed with
the MIC/LINE input and the GAIN control act on both INST and MIC/LINE inputs
simultaneously.
EFFECTS LOOP CONNECTIONS
(15) TO FX ¼” Phonejack - Effects Send
A balanced/unbalanced output capable of connecting to a wide range of devices from
effects pedals to rack systems or just about anything with an audio input. The signal sent
out of “TO FX” comes directly from the MIC pre-amp gain stage; the output level of the
effects send can therefore be controlled with the INPUT GAIN knob. When the FX Loop is
deactivated (FX LOOP LED is off), “TO FX” send is muted.
(16) FROM FX ¼” Phonejack – Effects Return
A balanced/unbalanced input with capable of connecting to a wide range of devices from
effects pedals to rack systems. The input signal at the “FROM FX” jack is the FX signal for
the MIX knob.
(17) AUX 1/8” Phonejack – Connect to mobile device
The “AUX” jack is a bi-directional connector on a four conductor (TRRS) 1/8” mini phone
jack for connecting to mobile devices. It sends out the mono “TO FX” send signal and
receives back a stereo signal. The stereo return remains stereo for the PHONES output
but is converted to mono for the “TO AMP” and “DI/LINE OUT” outputs.
The source device (the mobile device) controls the volume of the signal into the AUX
connector thereby controlling its volume in the mix with the MIC pre-amp output and the
FX Return.
