Reference Front & Rear Panels Master Control Section 2 1 5 3 7 4 6 8 B 9 0 C A D E G F H MG124CX * impedance balanced Since the hot and cold terminals of impedance balanced output jacks have the same impedance, these output jacks are less affected by induced noise. 1 2TR IN Jacks These RCA pin jacks can be used to input a stereo sound source. Use these jacks when you want to connect a CD player directly to the mixer. NOTE You can adjust the signal level using the 2TR IN control in the Master Control section. 2 REC OUT (L, R) Jacks These RCA pin jacks can be connected to an external recorder such as an MD recorder in order to record the same signal that is being output via the STEREO OUT jacks. NOTE The mixer's STEREO OUT Master Fader has no affect on the signal output via these jacks. Be sure to make appropriate level adjustments at the recording device. 3 RETURN L (MONO), R Jacks These are unbalanced phone-jack type line inputs. The signal received by these jacks is sent to the STEREO L/R buses and the AUX (AUX1) bus. These jacks are typically used to receive the signal returned from an external effect device (reverb, delay, etc.). NOTE These jacks can also be used as an auxiliary stereo input. If you connect to the L (MONO) jack only, the mixer will recognize the signal as monaural and will send the identical signal to both the L and R jacks. 4 SEND Jacks • AUX (AUX1) This is an impedance balanced* phone-jack type output. This jack outputs the signals from AUX (AUX1) bus. You can use this jack, for example, to connect to an effect unit, cue box, or other monitoring system. • EFFECT (AUX2) This is an impedance balanced* phone-jack type output that outputs the signal from the EFFECT (AUX2) bus. You can use this jack, for example, to connect to an external effect unit. 5 STEREO OUT (L, R) Jacks These jacks deliver the mixer's stereo output. You can use these jacks, for example, to connect to the power amplifier driving your main speakers. You can also connect these jacks to a recording device when you wish to record mixer's stereo output while using the STEREO OUT Master fader for level control. • XLR jacks XLR-type balanced output jacks. • LINE jacks TRS phone-jack type balanced outputs. 6 GROUP OUT (1, 2) Jacks These impedance-balanced* phone jacks output the Group 1/2 signals. Use these jacks to connect to the inputs of a multi-track recorder, external mixer, or other such device. 7 MONITOR OUT Jacks Connect these stereo phone-jack outputs to your monitor system. NOTE The signal output by these jacks is determined by the MONITOR switch, the 2TR IN switch, and the PFL switches on the input channels. 14 MG124CX/MG124C Owner's Manual
