MAKING CONNECTIONS

Inputs and Outputs

1. XLR microphone Jacks
These jacks accept typical 3-pin XLR
inputs for balanced and unbalanced
s i g n a l s . T h e y c a n b e u s e d i n
conjunction with microphones – such
as professional condenser, dynamic
or ribbon microphones – with standard
XLR male connectors, and feature
low-noise preamplifiers, serving for
crystal clear sound replication. Each
of the AM series mixers features one
standard XLR microphone inputs for
your convenience.
NB. When these inputs are used with condenser microphones, the
Phantom Power should be activated. However, when the Phantom
Power button is engaged, single ended (unbalanced) microphones
and instruments should not be used on the mic inputs.
2. Line Inputs
This input accepts typical ¼" TRS or TS inputs, for balanced
or unbalanced signals. There are various numbers of these
inputs depending which mixer you are using. They can be
used in conjunction with various line level devices such as
keyboards, drum machines, electric guitars, and a variety
of other electric instruments.
3. Stereo Channels
Each of the AM series mixers feature a few stereo
channels thrown in for maximum flexibility. Each of these
stereo channels features two ¼" TRS phone jacks, for
the addition of various line level input devices, such as
electric keyboards, guitars and external signal processors
or mixers. These stereo channels can also be used as
mono channels, where the signal from any ¼" phone jack
plugged into the left stereo input will cause the signal to
be duplicated to the right input also. This does not work
in reverse.
4. Main L and R Outputs
These two ports will output the final balanced line level
signal send from the main mix. The primary purpose of
these jacks is to send the main output to external devices,
which may include power amplifiers (and, in-turn, a pair of
speakers), other mixers, as well as a wide range of other
possible devices (equalizers, crossovers, etcetera).

5. AUX / EFX Send
These ¼" TS outputs may be used to connect to an external
digital effect processor, or even an amplifier and speakers
(depending on your desired settings) to the mixer.
6. Phones
This stereo output port is suited for use with headphones,
allowing monitoring of the mix. The audio level of this output
is controlled using the Phones/Control Room control.
7. 2T Record / Record Out
These outputs will accommodate RCA cables, able to be
fed to a variety of recording devices such as MP3 recorders
and laptop computers.
8. 2T Return
These RCA inputs are used to connect the mixer with
external devices, such as tape and CD players, or even
laptop computers. The received signal will be fed to either
the Main L/R or Phone mixes.
9. Control Room Outputs
These two 1/4" phone jack outputs send the signal from
the Control Room / Phones feed, the level of which is
determined by the control on the face of the mixer. This
output has extensive use. For example, it can be used to
feed active monitors for the monitoring of audio signals
within a sound booth. Alternatively it can be used as an
additional auxiliary.

10. Power Connector
This port is for the addition of the external
power supply, allowing power to be supplied
to the mixer. Please use the power supply that
is included with the mixer only.
