The Rear Panel follows suit with simplicity dictating the layout of the essential features every pro rig should include. Next to the
intake/exhaust vents sit the SPEAKER OUTPUTS and a FUNCTION SWITCH jack. The FUNCTION SWITCH ¼” jack provides a
switch port to control the TUNER MUTE. Connecting any grounding (tip to ground) logic switch here will trigger the MUTE. This al-
lows settings to be stored under programs in a master external switcher. The SPEAKER OUTPUTS utilize standard ¼” phone type
jacks.
To the right of the air intake vent are the EFFECTS LOOP and DIRECT OUTPUT sections. The DIRECT OUTPUT consists of a
standard 3 pin male XLR jack and a ground lift for the circuit to chassis ground connection. Leave the switch set to GROUND (switch
down - circuit grounded) unless you experience hum when connecting to a live sound board or studio recording console in which case
try the LIFT position to eliminate the hum caused by the two different references to ground.
The EFFECTS LOOP is in series with the main signal and can be bypassed with the switch located above the SEND jack. The
TUNER OUT jack will feed a signal to your outboard tuner and you can use the Front Panel PULL MUTE feature located on the
MASTER control to mute the signal for silent tuning. The MUTE can also be remote triggered by connecting a grounding footswitch
to the Rear Panel FUNCTION SWITCH labeled MUTE.
That wraps up our Overview of the controls and features of the M3 CARBINE and now we’re ready to look at the controls and their
individual roles in creating the sounds you hear in your head. Once again, thank you for choosing Mesa and most of all Enjoy!
