q INSERT I/O Jack (MX12/6:CH1-4, MX20/6:CH1-8)

These are input/output jacks that are positioned
between the equalizer and fader of the input
channel.

They have a nominal input/impedance of 0dB/
600

Ω and a nominal output/impedance of 0dB/

10k

Ω.

These jacks can be used to connect devices such
as a graphic equalizer, compressor, noise filter,
etc.
The TRS type phone jack allows bi-directional
connection with the INSERT I/O jack. Connect-
ing a device to these jacks will require a special
insertion cable like the one shown in the diagram
on the right. Please use an optional YAMAHA
Insertion Cable YIC025/050/070, etc.

w PHANTOM  +48V Switch

or line level devices however, hum or malfunction may occur when connecting unbalanced devices
or devices for which the center of the transformer is ungrounded.

e SEND Jack

These are impedance balanced phone type output jacks with a nominal output/impedance of +4dB/
600

Ω.

The AUX1, 2 bus signals are output from their respective jacks. The jacks can be used to send the
signal to a monitor system such as a cue-box.
