Mackie Mix 260FX Owners Manual - Page 17

54. SUB OUTS (Mix.260FX) These 1/4" TRS jacks provide the outputs for the SUB 1 and 2 signals. These can be connected to the inputs of a recording device, or to secondary amplifiers for an alternate mix. 57. POWER ON This one is self-explanatory. When the POWER switch is turned ON, power is supplied to the MIX FX Series mixer and the power LED on the front panel lights up. 55. CTRL RM OUT These 1/4" TRS jacks can be used to provide another main mix output, or to monitor the CD/TAPE Inputs (CD/TAPE switch pushed in), or to monitor the ALT 3-4 (Mix.220FX only) or the SUB 1-2 output (Mix.260FX only). Connect these outputs to the inputs of an amplifier, powered speakers, or recording device. 56. CHANNEL INSERTS 1-4 (Mix.260FX only) These 1/4" TRS jacks provide a send and return point for channels 1-4. Use the CHANNEL INSERT jacks to connect serial effects devices such as compressors, equalizers, de-essers, or filters to each individual channel. The INSERT points are after the GAIN and Low Cut controls, but before the EQ and Fader controls. The send (tip) is low-impedance, capable of driving any device. The return (ring) is high-impedance and can be driven by almost any device. Special insert cables are available, specially designed for this kind of insert jack. They are wired as follows: ring tip sleeve (TRS plug) SEND to processor "tip" This plug connects to the Channel Insert jack "ring" RETURN from processor Tip = Send (output to effects device) Ring = Return ( input from effects device) Sleeve = Common ground (connect shield to all three sleeves) Besides being used for inserting external devices, these jacks can also be used as channel direct outputs; post-GAIN, post-LOW CUT, and pre-EQ. 58. PHANTOM ON Turn on this switch to provide phantom power to all four MIC INPUT [1] XLR jacks. Phantom power is required to operate most condenser microphones (some condenser microphones are battery-powered). With the switch turned on, the mixer provides +48 VDC phantom powering on XLR pins 2 and 3. If you have ribbon mics, tube mics, or dynamic mics that do not require phantom power, leave the PHANTOM POWER switch out. If you are using both condenser and dynamic mics, don't worry. Phantom power will not hurt most dynamic mics. Check the microphone's user manual if you're not sure. Caution: Turn all output levels down before operating this switch to avoid the possibility of a "pop" in your speakers. Do not use phantom power with tube or ribbon microphones, as this may cause damage. 59. Power Receptacle and Fuse This is a standard 3-prong IEC power connector. Connect the detachable linecord (included in the box with your MIX FX Series mixer) to the power receptacle, and plug the other end of the linecord into an AC outlet properly configured with the voltage required for your particular model (100-120 VAC or 220-240 VAC). The fuse is located behind the fuse cover, at the bottom of the IEC socket. See the "Troubleshooting" section on page 12 for information about replacing the fuse. 60. Kensington Security Slot To help prevent theft, all the MIX FX Series mixers have a security slot designed to fit the popular Kensington security locks. A variety of models are available from their website at www.kensington.com. 60 59 57 58 POWER PHANTOM ON ON 53 MIX.220 FX ALT 3/4 OUTS BAL/UNBAL 2 1 BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE GROOVY FOLKS IN WOODINVILLE, WA, USA• MANUFACTURED IN CHINA•PATENTS PENDING•COPYRIGHT ©2005 SERIAL NUMBER 52 : WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
