3 - PCIe Card & Interfaces 1212m System Connections 1212m System Connections The 1212M System uses line level inputs and outputs. Microphones and unpowered instruments require a preamp since they generate signals much lower than line level. The diagram below shows how to connect to a mixer. If you don't own a mixer, you can connect powered speakers directly to the L/R Outputs and use PatchMix as your mixer. 1212M Analog Connections Microphone (must be pre-amped) L/R Input L/R Output Main Outs Input Strips Use either Balanced or Unbalanced cables Mixer (with pre-amp) Electronic Keyboard REAL TIME CONTROLLERS ASSIGNABLE KEYS PRESET SAMPLE SEQUENCER EMULATOR LEVEL EXIT ENTER PAGE P R E S E TS E L E C T RETURN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 .
