Multimix 12R Reference Manual 17
providing a direct output. Or, put the recorder into INPUT mode and insert
the plug all the way, connecting the input and output of each track of the
recorder into each channel path of the mixer. This will allow playback
monitoring of the recorder. See the Applications chapter for more
information.
For more information on using the AUX and INSERT systems, see the
“Operating Instructions” chapter of this manual.
Connections
Outputs
To a stereo PA system or instrument
amplifier
Balanced
Check to see if your amplifier can accept balanced inputs. If so,
connect the [MAIN OUT BALANCED] jacks of the Multimix 12R to the
input of the amp using a 3-conductor cable, with a 1/4" TRS plug on
one end, and the connector used by the amp (usually a 1/4" TRS
connector; sometimes an XLR or terminal strip) on the other.
•
You may also connect the [MONITOR OUT] jacks of the mixer to your
amplifier. This will allow you to switch between hearing 2-track playback
and the stereo output of the mixer, using the front panel monitor switch.
Unbalanced
If the amp is unbalanced, use a standard shielded "patch cord" with
1/4" connectors.
To a mono system
If your PA system or amplifier isn't stereo, connect either the left or
right MAIN OUT jacks to the input of the system. Make sure that all
[PAN] controls are in the center or turned to the side you're using.
To a stage monitor (foldback) system
If your PA system has a separate amplifier and speaker system for
monitors, connect a cable from the [AUX 1 PRE AUX SENDS] jack to
the amp input, in the same manner as above. The Aux 1 system is a
pre-fader, post-EQ send with a balanced/unbalanced output. In most
stage monitor situations, we recommend connecting a third-octave
graphic equalizer such as the Alesis MEQ-230 between the mixer and
the amp to control feedback.
The Aux 1 output may be connected in the same way for a number of
different applications such as:
• Headphone cue feed for multitrack recording
• Separate broadcast mix from a PA system
• Zone feed for a separate region of a PA system
