XLR MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL SWITCH Engaging the MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL switch pads the balanced XLR main outputs by 30dB, so you can feed the microphone input of, say, another mixer. You can safely connect this output into an input that provides 48V phantom power. 1⁄4" MAIN OUTS These 1⁄4" jacks are balanced outputs capable of delivering 22dBu into a 600 ohm balanced or unbalanced load. (Okay, we admit it, that was a pretty technical sentence. See the Glossary and Connections appendices if you want to decode it.) To learn how signals are routed to these 1⁄4" outputs: . To use these outputs to drive balanced inputs, connect 1⁄4" TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) phone plugs like this: RING SLEEVE SLEEVE RING TIP TIP Tip = + (hot) Ring = - (cold) Sleeve = Ground RING TIP SLEEVE For most music recording and PA applications, unbalanced lines are perfectly acceptable. To use these outputs to drive unbalanced inputs, connect 1⁄4" TS (Tip-Sleeve) phone plugs like this: SLEEVE SLEEVE TIP TIP TIP SLEEVE Tip = + (hot) Sleeve = Ground TAPE OUTPUT These unbalanced RCA connections tap the main output to make simultaneous recording and PA work more convenient. Connect these to your recorder's inputs. To learn how signals are routed to these outputs: . Mono Out: If you want to feed a mono signal to your tape deck or other device, simply use an RCA Y-cord to combine these outputs (Radio Shack® #42-4235, for instance). Do not attempt this with any other outputs on the MS1202-VLZ.
