Additional Inputs and Outputs
16. Mon Send
Stage monitors allow the talented musicians in the 
band to hear themselves clearly on stage. This can be a 
good thing! The monitor mix may be carefully adjusted 
in level using the aux mon controls. These tap a portion 
of each channel's signal to provide a 1/4" TRS output 
here to feed external stage monitors. These could  
either be passive stage monitors powered by an  
external amplifier, or powered stage monitors with  
their own built-in amplifier.
The monitor signal is the sum (mix) of all the  
channels whose aux mon control is set to more  
than minimum. If they want “more me and less Brian,” 
you may turn up their channel's aux mon control,  
and turn down Brian's.
The overall output level may be adjusted with the  
aux master mon knob and mon 1 may have its EQ 
tweaked with the graphic EQ if the main mix/mon 
switch is engaged. Alternatively, you could add an  
external graphic EQ between this output and your  
powered monitors. This will allow you to adjust  
the EQ, and minimize the chance of feedback from 
nearby microphones.
The monitor output is not affected by the main  
mix fader or the channel faders. This allows you to set 
up the monitor mix and level just right, and not have  
it change when a channel fader or the main mix fader  
is adjusted. This is known as “pre-fader.”
17. FX Send
This 1/4" TRS line-level output may be used to feed  
an external effects processor (FX), such as a nice  
sound effect, or delay unit. The output from this jack  
is an exact copy of what goes into the internal FX  
processor, being the careful mix of all channels whose 
aux FX control is turned to more than minimum.
(The processed output of the internal FX does not 
come out of this output, but is added internally to the 
main mix or monitor mix.)
The output is “post-fader,” so any changes to the  
channel faders will also affect the level going to the 
external processor.
The processed output from the effects processor is 
usually returned to a spare channel or the tape input, 
and you may carefully mix the original unprocessed 
channel (dry) and the processed channel (wet).  
Altering the original channel fader increases both  
the wet and dry signals and keeps them at the same 
delicate ratio. For example, the reverb remains at  
the same level relative to the original.

18. Main Out L/R
The 1/4" TRS output connectors provide balanced  
or unbalanced line-level signals. Connect these to  
the next device in the signal chain like an external  
processor (compressor/limiter), or directly to the  
inputs of the main amplifier or powered speakers.
19. Tape Inputs / Outputs
The stereo unbalanced RCA inputs allow you to  
play a CD player, MP3 player, or other line-level source. 
The tape in jacks accept an unbalanced signal using 
standard hi-fi hookup cables.
The stereo unbalanced RCA outputs allow you to 
record the main stereo mix onto a hard disk recorder  
or automatic CD burner, for example. This lets you  
make a recording for posterity/archive/legal purposes 
whenever the band gets back together again.
The tape output is the stereo main mix, and it is  
not affected by the main mix knob.
 
The output could 
also be used as an extra set of main outputs for feeding 
another zone.
20. Phones
This 1/4" TRS connector supplies the output to stereo 
headphones. It is the same signal that is routed to the 
main and tape outputs. The phones volume is controlled 
with the phones knob.
The phones output follows  standard conventions: 
 
Tip = Left channel 
 
Ring = Right channel 
 
Sleeve = Common ground
WARNING: The headphone amp is loud and 
can cause permanent hearing damage. Even 
intermediate levels may be painfully loud 
with some headphones. BE CAREFUL! Always turn the 
phones level control all the way down before connecting 
headphones or doing anything new that may affect the 
headphone volume. Then turn it up slowly as you listen 
carefully.
