2.4.2. Unbalanced “Line Out”
The same signals as found on the XLR5M socket are also fed to a 3.5 mm stereo
mini-jack socket (
14
). These signals are unbalanced, and their level is 6 dB below
those on the balanced XLR5M (
16
).
Their typical use is for linking the mixer to a semi-professional recorder (Mini-
Disc, cassette, DAT…)
2.4.3. Analog outputs for radio transmitters
The same output signals as in the above are fed to the « EXT I/O » socket (on the
left side of the unit), with a separate adjustment of the maximum level for each
channel from -40 dBu to +14 dBu, which allows a suitable adaptation to most radio
transmitters.
2.5. Monitor
The « Monitor » function allows the selection of signals inside MIXY for
displaying their level on the screen (
5
) and monitoring them on headphones (
13
).
Just by clicking and moving the joystick (
10
) sideways, one can select the
following signal sources for monitoring:
x
Input 1, 2, or 3, pre-fader (just after the input preamplifier and high-pass
filter);
x
Channels 1 and 2 couple, (also pre-fader);
x
Return/Line In couple of signals, just before any possible routing to the
mix buses;
x
USB signals (2 channels, before the possible routing to the mix buses);
x
L and R mix buses ;
x
Outputs (2 channels, after the L/RlM/S transcoding matrix whenever
active).
NOTE
Depending on the various recording situations, the signals that are monitored pre-
fader (Inputs 1, 2, or 3) can have extremely variable level. In some cases they can
be very high, but conversely they will often be quite low (i.e. when the channel
fader is set close to the maximum while the input amplifier is set at a moderate
gain), and hence difficult to listen to without significantly raising the monitoring
volume.
