THE CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS
REAR PANEL
® TAPE OUT Jacks
The four TAPE OUT jacks are direct outputs from
the corresponding tracks of the MT3X recorder.
These jacks make it possible to feed the output
from the four recorder tracks to an external mixing
console. The TAPE OUT jacks can also be used to
feed each of the recorder’s tracks to external signal
processors, the output of which can then be re¬
turned to the MT3X’s mixer inputs.
The TAPE OUT jacks are RCA pin types with a
nominal output level of -10 dB into a load of
greater than 50 k-ohms.
® ST OUT R and L Jacks
These are the main outputs from the MT3X, deliv¬
ering the stereo output signal from the MT3X mixer
section. The ST OUT jacks can be connected to a
stereo sound system for monitoring and listening,
or to a second cassette recorder when recording a
stereo “mix” of a multitrack MT3X master tape. The
ST OUT R and L jacks are RCA pin types with a
nominal output level of -10 dB when feeding a load
of greater than 50 k-ohms.
® SYNC IN and OUT Jacks
These jacks can be connected to the correspond¬
ing input and output of an external MIDI converter
unit such as the YAMAHA YMC-10, allowing re¬
cording of an FSK synchronization signal on track 4
of the MT3X recorder section (the MT3X SYNC
switch must be ON). The recorded sync signal can
be used to synchronize MIDI sequence recorders,
rhythm programmers, computers or similar equip¬
ment to playback of the MT3X.
® AUX SND & RTN Jacks
The AUX SND (1 and 2) and RTN (1 and 2) jacks
make it simple to use external signal processors
(such as the YAMAHA SPX900 Professional Multi-
Effect Processor) to add effects to MT3X signals.
The AUX SND 1 or 2 jack should be connected to
the input of your signal processor, and the output
from your signal processor should be connected to
the corresponding AUX RTN jacks. Stereo AUX
RTN jacks are provided for both AUX RTN 1 and 2,
providing compatibility with the wide range of high-
performance mono-in/stereo-out signal processors
currently available. Dual AUX SEND/RTN loops
afford extra signal processing versatility, (see “US¬
ING THE AUX SEND/RTN LOOPS” on page 22).
