The correct way to wire stacked units is shown below:
6.1.5 Paralleling inputs
When using more than one unit, the inputs may be
wired in parallel to increase the number of outputs that
a source can drive. This is shown in Figures 6.11-12.
For example, the audio signal in Figure 6.12 which
feeds Input 1 is available to the outputs of both units,
creating a 6x4 mixer.

Important: If the source is a microphone which re-
quires phantom power (P), select it only at the first
input. Switch all other parallel inputs to mic (M).*

By using several units and a combination of parallel
inputs and stacked outputs, larger mixing configura-
tions (12x8, 24x4, etc.) can be created as shown be-
