MAKING CONNECTIONS

Inputs and Outputs

1. Combo Input Jacks
These jacks accept both 3-pin XLR and 1/4" TRS
phone jack inputs for balanced and unbalanced
signals. They can be used in conjunction with
microphones – such as professional condenser,
dynamic or ribbon microphones – with standard XLR
male connectors, and feature low noise preamplifiers,
serving for crystal clear sound replication. They can
also be used with various line level devices, such as
keyboards, drum machines, electric guitars, and a
variety of other electric instruments.
NB. When these inputs are used with condenser microphones,
the Phantom Power should be activated. However, when
Phantom Power button is engaged, single ended (unbalanced)
microphones and instruments should not be used on the
Mic inputs unless specifically approved by the microphone
manufacturer.
2. Stereo Channels
The AM8GE mixers features 2 stereo channels,
thrown in for maximum flexibility. Each of these
channels features two 1/4" phone jacks for connection
of various line level input devices, such as electronic
keyboards, guitars and external signal processors or
mixers. Stereo channels can also be used as mono
channels, where the signal from any device plugged
into the left input will be duplicated to the right (this
does not work in reverse).
3. EFX Send
This 1/4" TS outputs may be used to connect to
an external digital effect processor, or even to an
amplifier and speakers (depending on your desired
settings) to the mixer. The signal is taken from the
EFX control on each input channel.
4. Record Out
These outputs will accommodate RCA cables, able
to be fed to a variety of recording devices.
5. Phones
This stereo output (found on the front panel) is suited
for use with headphones, allowing monitoring of the
mix. The audio level of this output is controlled using
the Phones control.

6. Main L and R Output
These two ports will output the final stereo line level
signal sent from the main mixing bus. The primary
purpose of these jacks is to send the main output to
external devices, which may include power amplifiers
(and in-turn, a pair of speakers), other mixers,
as well as a wide range of other possible signal
processors (equalizers, crossovers, etcetera).

7. USB Interface
This USB-B connector is for connecting the AM Gold
to any modern PC computer. When connected, the
computer should recognize the AM Gold as a sound
card, allowing stereo audio to be sent to and from
the computer.
8. Power Connector
This port is for the addition of the external power
supply, allowing power to be supplied to the mixer.
Be sure to use the included power adapter to
ensure the correct voltage is used. Phonic suggests
checking local voltages before powering the AM Gold
mixer. The power button can be found on the face of
the mixer.
