switch in to reduce the output by 30dB, so you can feed the mic input of another mixer, for example. Leave the switch out to connect to professional +4 dBu devices. To learn how signals are routed to these outputs: . To use the 1/4" outputs to drive balanced inputs, connect 1/4" TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) phone plugs like this: RING SLEEVE SLEEVE RING TIP TIP RING Tip = + (hot) TIP Ring = - (cold) SLEEVE Sleeve = ground To use these outputs to drive unbalanced inputs, connect 1/4" TS (Tip-Sleeve) phone plugs like this: SLEEVE SLEEVE TIP TIP Tip = signal Sleeve = ground TIP SLEEVE MONO OUTPUT It happens to everybody sooner or later: The forces that govern your world will demand a monaural output from your painstakinglycreated stereo panorama. The last thing you want to do is start twirling all your carefullyplaced PAN settings to one side. What to do? Stick a cord in this 1/4" jack, hand the other end to Mr. Mono, and you're done. He's got his mono mix and you've still got your stereo mix. The MONO output is nothing more than a sum of the left and right MAIN MIX. MONO LEVEL If Mr. Mono's main mono mix is maxed, just reach for this knob and turn it down a bit. Just the thing for sending mono signals to mic inputs like camcorders, telephone interface boxes, even answering machines. With the pot all the way up (fully clockwise), you'll have 6 dB of extra gain, and unity gain is at the 12 o'clock position. POWER CONNECTION Just in case you lose the cord provided with the 1642-VLZ PRO, its power jack accepts a standard 3-prong IEC cord like those found on most professional recorders, musical instruments, and computers. You can get a new one at any electronics, music, or computer store. You can even buy them at Radio Shack® (part # 278-1257). Plug the 1642-VLZ PRO into any standard grounded (3-pin) AC outlet or power strip of the correct voltage. WARNING: Disconnecting the plug's ground pin can be dangerous. Please don't do it. FUSE The 1642-VLZ PRO is fused for your (and its own) protection. If you suspect a blown fuse, disconnect the power cord, pull the fuse drawer out (located just below the cord receptacle) and replace the fuse with a 1A SLO BLO, 5x20mm, available at electronics stores or your dealer (or a 0.5A SLO BLO 5x20mm if your 1642-VLZ PRO is a 220V-240V unit). POWER SWITCH You can leave this switch on all the time; the mixer is conservatively designed, so heat buildup isn't a problem even in 24-hour-a-day operation. This is provided that the mixer receives adequate ventilation. You may notice that the mixer feels quite warm but there's nothing that will burn out or get used up. Switching to the top " " position turns the mixer on, by connecting it to main AC power. This is confirmed by the front panel POWER LED. Switching to the lower position turns the mixer into STANDBY, and the LED will turn off. Note: Turning off the power switch does not remove all power from the mixer. To remove all power from the mixer, the power cord must be removed from the AC power source.
