English Front and Rear Panels 5 ST OUT jacks These stereo jacks output the mixed signal, and are suitable for use as the main output for a small concert or other event. The signal level is adjusted via the STEREO fader, then the signal is output from these jacks. You can use these jacks, for example, to send the stereo mix to the master recorder, or to connect to the power amplifier driving your main speakers. These jacks feature two types: phone type and RCA pin type, and the same signal will be output from either type of jack. Phone type These are stereo output jacks that support both balanced and unbalanced signals. RCA pin type These are unbalanced stereo output jacks. 6 C-R OUT jacks These are stereo output jacks that support both balanced and unbalanced phone-type connections for the Control Room monitor. The signal level is adjusted in the Control Room section (page 18) before it is output. Only The signal monitored by these jacks is selected via the C-R SPEAKER SELECT switches (page 18). 7 AUX OUT jacks Only These stereo jacks output AUX bus signals. They support both balanced and unbalanced phone-type connections. You can use these jacks, for example, to connect musicians' monitor speakers, or to send the input channel signal to a connected external device, such as an effects processor. The output level at these jacks can be adjusted via the [AUX LEVEL] control (page 17) in the Meter section. 8 MIDI IN/OUT jacks These jacks are used to connect external MIDI devices, such as a synthesizer, via MIDI cables. If you are connecting the n8/n12 to a computer via an IEEE 1394 cable, these jacks serve as a MIDI interface that connects the computer to external MIDI devices. 9 DAW I/O jacks These 6-pin IEEE 1394 (S400) jacks are used to connect a computer to the mixer via a IEEE 1394 cable. Both jacks feature the same functionality. You can use one of them to connect a computer, and the other connector to connect daisy-chained devices. If your computer has a 4-pin IEEE 1394 jack, use a 4-pin to 6-pin type IEEE 1394 cable that meets the S400 specifications. Caution Be sure to connect the IEEE1394 cable plug to the DAW I/O jack in the correct orientation. Plug in the jack in the correct orientation. NOTE • Use an IEEE 1394 cable that meets the S400 standard. Yamaha recommends that you use an IEEE 1394 cable with a length of 4.5 meters or less. • Connect your IEEE 1394 cables so that they do not create a loop. For more about loop connections, refer to page 51. ) FOOT SW jack Connect an optional foot switch (such as Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to this jack. In this way, you can control the transport functions of Cubase 4/Cubase Studio 4/Cubase AI 4 using your foot. By default, the foot switch will operate as the Mackie Control "USER SWITCH (A)." If necessary, you can make settings within your DAW to change the assignment. With the default settings in Cubase, this will perform the same operation as the [REC] button. ! POWER switch This switch sets mixer power to ON or STANDBY. Caution Note that a small amount of current continues to flow while the switch is in the STANDBY position. If you do not plan to use the mixer for a long period of time, please be sure to unplug the adaptor from the wall outlet. @ AC INPUT jack Connect a power adaptor here (refer to page 8).
