Connections Outputs To a stereo PA system or instrument amplifier Balanced Check to see if your amplifier can accept balanced inputs. If so, connect the [MAIN OUT BALANCED] jacks of the Multimix 12R to the input of the amp using a 3-conductor cable, with a 1/4" TRS plug on one end, and the connector used by the amp (usually a 1/4" TRS connector; sometimes an XLR or terminal strip) on the other. • You may also connect the [MONITOR OUT] jacks of the mixer to your amplifier. This will allow you to switch between hearing 2-track playback and the stereo output of the mixer, using the front panel monitor switch. Unbalanced If the amp is unbalanced, use a standard shielded "patch cord" with 1/4" connectors. To a mono system If your PA system or amplifier isn't stereo, connect either the left or right MAIN OUT jacks to the input of the system. Make sure that all [PAN] controls are in the center or turned to the side you're using. To a stage monitor (foldback) system If your PA system has a separate amplifier and speaker system for monitors, connect a cable from the [AUX 1 PRE AUX SENDS] jack to the amp input, in the same manner as above. The Aux 1 system is a pre-fader, post-EQ send with a balanced/unbalanced output. In most stage monitor situations, we recommend connecting a third-octave graphic equalizer such as the Alesis MEQ-230 between the mixer and the amp to control feedback. The Aux 1 output may be connected in the same way for a number of different applications such as: • Headphone cue feed for multitrack recording • Separate broadcast mix from a PA system • Zone feed for a separate region of a PA system

To a stereo PA system or instrument
amplifier
Balanced
Check to see if your amplifier can accept balanced inputs.
If so,
connect the [MAIN OUT BALANCED] jacks of the Multimix 12R to the
input of the amp using a 3-conductor cable, with a 1/4" TRS plug on
one end, and the connector used by the amp (usually a 1/4" TRS
connector; sometimes an XLR or terminal strip) on the other.
•
You may also connect the [MONITOR OUT] jacks of the mixer to your
amplifier.
This will allow you to switch between hearing 2-track playback
and the stereo output of the mixer, using the front panel monitor switch.
Unbalanced
If the amp is unbalanced, use a standard shielded "patch cord" with
1/4" connectors.
To a mono system
If your PA system or amplifier isn't stereo, connect either the left or
right MAIN OUT jacks to the input of the system.
Make sure that all
[PAN] controls are in the center or turned to the side you're using.
To a stage monitor (foldback) system
If your PA system has a separate amplifier and speaker system for
monitors, connect a cable from the [AUX 1 PRE AUX SENDS] jack to
the amp input, in the same manner as above.
The Aux 1 system is a
pre-fader, post-EQ send with a balanced/unbalanced output.
