MAKING CONNECTIONS
Inputs and Outputs
1.
XLR Microphone Jacks
These jacks accept typical 3-pin XLR inputs for balanced and
unbalanced signals. They can be used in 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. AM440DP mixer feature four standard XLR
microphone inputs for your convenience.
NB. When these inputs are used with condenser microphones, the
Phantom Power should be activated. However, when 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 1/4" 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.

Stereo Channels
The AM440DP mixer features a few stereo channels, thrown in
for maximum flexibility. Each of these stereo channels features
two 1/4" TRS phone jacks, for the addition of various line level
input devices, such as electronic keyboards, guitars and external
signal processors or mixers. These channels can also be used
as Mono channels, where the signal from any 1/4" phone
jack plugged into the Left stereo input will cause the signal to
be duplicated to the Right input due to the miracle of jack
normalizing. This does not work in reverse, however. There are
two stereo channels on the AM440DP.

EFX Send
These 1/4" TS outputs may be used to connect to an external
digital effect processor, or even to an amplifier and speakers
(depending on your desired settings), to the mixer. The signal
sent from these outputs is fed from the Digital Effect Processor.
5.
Phones Output
This stereo output jack is suited for use with headphones,
allowing monitoring of the mix. The audio level of this output
is controlled using the Phones control located just below this
connector.

Main L and R Outputs
These two ports will output the final stereo balanced line level
signal sent from the main mixing bus. 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 signal
processors (equalizers, crossovers, etcetera).
