 TAPE IN
These RCA jacks are designed to work with
semi-pro as well as pro recorders. To compen-
sate for typically low levels, signals coming in
here will be automatically boosted by 6dB.
Connect your tape recorder’s outputs here,
using standard hi-fi (RCA) cables. 
To learn how
signals are routed from these inputs, see  .

TIP
SLEEVE
Use these jacks for convenient tape play-
back of your mixes. You’ll be able to review a
mix, and then rewind and try another pass,
without repatching or disturbing the mixer
levels. You can also use these jacks with a por-
table tape or CD player to feed music to a PA
system between sets.
WARNINGPushing
TAPE in the 
SOURCE
matrix and 
ASSIGN TO
MAIN MIX can create a
feedback path between
TAPE IN and TAPE OUT. Make sure your
tape deck is not in record, record-pause or
input monitor mode when you engage these
switches, or make sure the 
CONTROL
ROOM / PHONES fader is fully down (off).
Pin 1 = Ground
Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)
