2 A Tour of the MultiMix these channels. These inputs are also good for connecting CD players or tape decks, as these audio sources don't require extra gain. PHONE Jack The headphone jack accepts 1/4" jacks. If your headphones are 1/8", you can find a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter in most electronics stores. STEREO AUX RETURN These are the 1/4" jacks where you connect the outputs of an external effects processor or other audio source. The aux return gives you 15dB of gain that can be controlled by the AUX RETURN LEVEL knob in the mixer's main section. AUX SEND And this is the 1/4" jack where you connect the line that's going into the input of an external effects processor. The aux send gives you 10dB of gain that can be controlled in the AUX section of each channel input. 2-TRACK The 2-TRACK IN and OUT jacks are standard RCA jacks. You'll use the OUTs for mixing to a tape deck or other recorder. With the INs you can bring in a signal, which can be monitored and even added to the main mix via the 2TK TO MIX switch in the master section of the mixer. MAIN MIX OUT These 1/4" jacks are where the signal on the main mix bus leaves the mixer. From there you can send it to a recorder or a PA system. The level of this signal is controlled by the MAIN MIX level control. CTRL RM OUT You can use these 1/4" jacks to send the control room signal to the input of the amplifier driving your monitors or headphones. This output usually carries the main mix. However, if you engage the 2TK TO CTRL ROOM switch, the CTRL RM OUT will carry the signal present at the 2-TRACK inputs. If you are using an effects device with only a mono output, plug it into the left return of STEREO AUX RETURN. It will appear in the center of the stereo spectrum, and not to the left. 18
