1. Xlr Jacks
These jacks accept xlR inputs for
balanced signals. They can be used in
conjunction with microphones
professional condenser, dynamic or ribbon
microphones - with standard xlR male
connectors. With low noise preamplifiers,
these inputs serve for crystal clear sound
replication.
NB. When using an unbalanced microphone, please ensure phantom
power is switched off. however, when using condenser microphones
the phantom power should be activated.
2. line In Jacks
These balanced inputs accept 1/4" TRs and 1/4" Ts line
inputs for the addition of various music instruments – such
as keyboards, drum machines, electric guitars, as well as a
variety of other electric instruments.
3. Insert Jacks
The primary use for these
TRs phone jacks is for the
addition of external devices,
such as dynamic processors or
equalizers, to the corresponding
mono input channel. This will
require a Y cord that can send
and receive signals of the mixer
to and from an external processor. The tip of the TRs jack will
send the signal from the input channel, and the ring will return
the signal back to the mixer (the sleeve is the grounding).
4. Direct Outputs
These connections are for the direct output of the unbalanced
signals received by mono channels 1 through to 8, post-fader,
post-eQ, post-hPF, post-mute. They are most commonly used
to connect Multi-track recorders.
5. Auxiliary (AUX) returns
The 1/4" TRs AUx Return inputs are for the return of audio to
the sonic station 16 mixer, processed by an external signal
processor. if really needed, they can also be used as additional
stereo inputs. The feed from these inputs can be adjusted
using the AUx Return controls on the face of the mixer. When
connecting a monaural device to the AUx Return 1, 2 and 4
inputs, simply plug a 1/4" phone jack into the left (mono) input,
and the signal will appear in the right as well. This, however,
does not work for the AUx Return 3.
NB. When any device is plugged into the mixer's corresponding eFx
Return inputs (AUx Return 3), the signal processed by the mixer's
internal digital effect engine is then not fed to the Main L/R; the signal
fed into the eFx Return 3 inputs will be instead.

6. Auxiliary (AUX) Sends
These balanced 1/4" TRS phone jacks are the final output
of line-level signal fed from the corresponding auxiliary send
mixing buses, and are best suited for use with external effect
processors or stage monitors. Feeding the output from the
Auxiliary outs to an equalizer and amplifier, and then to a floor
monitor speaker allows artists to monitor their own instruments
or vocals whilst performing. The AUx 5 and AUx 6 sends take
their signal directly from AUx Controls 3 and 4, when the 5/6
shift Button is activated.
7. Group Outs
These balanced 1/4" TRS phone jacks output the final feed
from the group 1, 2, 3 and 4 Faders on the main panel of the
mixer. These outputs can be used to feed multi-track records,
as well as an amplifier and speakers to be used along with the
Main speakers.
8. CTrl rM (Control room) Output
These two 1/4" Phone Jack outputs feed the signal altered by
the Control Room level control on the face of the mixer. This
output has extensive use, as it can be used to feed the signal
from the mixer to an active monitor, for the monitoring of the
audio signal from within a booth, among many other possible
uses.
9. DSP Effect Output
These ports are for the immediate output of the eFx signal,
processed by the internal effect processor, the level of which is
not determined by the AUx 3 Return/eFx control on the face
of the mixer. This can be used to send to the external devices,
for monitoring purposes, or returned to a few channel on the
sonic station 16, and routed to the AUx 1, 2 and outputs
(the AUx 3 control must, of course, be turned down to avoid
forming a feedback loop), as well as the group outs, allowing
the processed signal to be sent to multiple destinations for
various applications.
10. Foot Switch Jacks
These ports are for the inclusion of a foot switch (non-latchable),
used to remotely adjust properties of the built-in Digital effect
processor, to the mixer. The uppermost jack is used to turn the
device on and off, where the lower jack is used for adjusting
tap delay properties.
