3 Applications
The microphone line mixer/ line splitter is
designed for various audio applications . In
the splitter mode, a stereo input signal can
be distributed to six mono outputs; the signal
part of the stereo signal can be separately set
for each channel by means of pan controls . In
the mixer mode, a stereo signal and a max-
imum of six mono signals with microphone
level or line level can be mixed to a stereo
output . The six mono channels as well as the
stereo channel can also be used as separate
amplifiers for level or impedance matching .
4 Setting Up
The unit is designed for installation into a rack
(482 mm / 19"), but it can also be used as a
tabletop unit . For rack installation, 1 RS (rack
space) = 44 .45 mm is required .
5 Connecting the Units
Prior to making or changing any connections,
switch off the microphone line mixer/ line
splitter and the units to be connected .
1) It is possible to connect a stereo unit with
line level (e . g . CD player, mixer, etc .) to the
XLR jacks STEREO IN (15) .
2) It is possible to connect both microphones
and mono units with line level to the inputs
of the mono channels CH 1 to CH 6 (14) .
