OUT jacks can be used during remix
for transferring the mixed program to a
stereo recorder. They also are useful for
driving a control room monitor amplifier
during recording or overdubbing.
30. AUX SEND JACK (monophonic)
This jack carries a mono mix of the four
input channel signals, as determined by
the setting of their AUX SEND controls.
This output is a post-EQ and post-input
fader controlled signal and can be sent
to external auxiliary signal processing
equipment such as a compressor, a
graphic equalizer, an echo or delay unit,
or a reverb.
31. MONMIX JACK (monophonic)
This jack carries the mono mix signals
of the recorder's four channel outputs
which are individually level set by the
four MONMIX controls before being
mixed into mono.
Depending on whether a particular
track is in record mode or play mode,
the MON MIX signal will be either: the
record input signal (4 CHAN BUSS) in
record mode, or tape out signal in play
mode.
The MONMIX signal is used for cue
feed to the musicians (with an external
amplifier) or may be used for echo send.
32. DIRECT OUT JACKS
(applies to 1 through 4)
These jacks carry the output from cor¬
respondingly numbered input channel
equalizer, just ahead of the 4 CHAN
BUSS PAN control. They can be used
to drive external effects devices, and
the return from such devices can be
brought to the AUX IN jacks [28],
another channel’s INPUT jack [25], or
a RECORD IN jack [33], Any DIRECT
OUT jack can be patched directly to
any RECORD IN jack [33], thus bypass¬
ing the 4 CHAN BUSS selector switch
[6] and PAW control [5].
33. RECORD IN (REC IN) JACKS
(applies to 1 through 4)
These jacks apply signals to the cor¬
respondingly numbered tracks of the
cassette recorder.
34. REMOTE FOOT SWRCH
(PUNCH-IN/PUNCH OUT) JACK
. This phone jack accepts the cable from
the unit's REMOTE FOOT (PUNCH-IN/
PUNCH OUT) SWITCH. When the unit
is in play mode, pressing the FOOT
SWITCH once will cause it to enter
record diode (if any RECORD TRACK
button [14] is engaged), or record ready
mode (if no RECORD TRACK button is
engaged). The FOOT SWITCH makes
it possible for a performer to play an
instrument or handle music while oper¬
ating the recorder; even if the person is
not simultaneously performing, the foot
switch can free a hand to operate a
fader, EQ, or other controls when record¬
ing initial tracks, or doing inserts and
overdubs.
35. AC POWER CORD
First make sure the unit’s POWER
switch [24] is off. Then plug this cord
into a suitable AC power outlet (check
the specifications for the proper line
voltage and frequency).
