MAKING CONNECTIONS

Inputs and Outputs

1. XLR Microphone Jacks
These jacks accept typical 3-pin XLR 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. With exception to the AM55, each
of the AM series mixers features two standard XLR microphone
inputs for your convenience.
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. Line Inputs
This input accepts typical 1/4" TRS or TS inputs for balanced or
unbalanced signals. There are various numbers of these inputs
depending which mixer you are using. They can be used in
conjunction with various line level devices, such as keyboards,
drum machines, electric guitars, and a variety of other electric
instruments.
3. Stereo Channels
Each of the AM Mixers feature a few stereo channels, thrown in
for maximum flexibility. Each of these stereo channels features
two 1/4" phone jacks, for the addition of various line level input
devices, such as electronic keyboards, guitars and external
signal processors or mixers. These stereo channels can also be
used as mono channels, where the signal from any 1/4" phone
jack plugged into the left stereo input will cause the signal to
duplicate to the right input also. This does not work in reverse,
however.
4. 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).
5. Stereo AUX Return (AM85 only)
These 1/4" TS inputs are for the return of audio to
the AM85 mixer, processed by an external signal
processor. If really needed, they can also be used
as additional inputs, with a level control located on
the face of the mixer. The Stereo AUX Return can
also accept mono signals. Like with the stereo input channels,
these inputs can be used as mono channels by plugging the 1/4"
phone plug of any mono device into the Stereo AUX return's left
input.

6. AUX/EFX Send (AM85, AM105, AM105FX, AM125
and AM125FX only)
These 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 AUX control on each input channel. On the
AM105FX and AM125FX, the signal sent from this output is
taken from the built-in effect engine. This output is only featured
on the AM85, AM105, AM105FX, AM125 and AM125FX mixers;
therefore you shouldn't go looking for it on the AM55.
7. Phones
This stereo output port is suited for use with headphones, allowing
monitoring of the mix. The audio level of this output is controlled
using the Phones or Phones/Control Room control.
8. 2T Record / Record Out
These outputs will accommodate RCA cables, able to be fed to a
variety of recording devices.
9. 2T Return
These RCA inputs are used to connect the
mixer with parallel external devices, such
as sub mixers or external effect processors,
receiving the processed signal from another
source and feeding it to either the Main L
and R or the Phones mixing bus.
10. Control Room Outputs (AM85, AM105, AM105FX,
AM125 and AM125FX only)
These two 1/4" phone jack outputs feed the signal altered by the
Control Room/Phones 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, or, alternatively, for the addition
of external signal processing devices or mixers, as well as acting
as a "side fill" output, supplying audio to indoor areas that the
main speakers do not reach. This output is featured on the AM85,
AM105, AM105FX, AM125 and AM125FX mixers only.
