CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS
1. MONO INPUT SECTION
(29) INSERTS
(1) MIC INPUT
Channels 1-4 (SRM-12X) and 1-6 (SRM-14X) are equipped
with rear panel insert jacks to connect external signal proces-
sors, such as compressors, noise reduction systems, or
effects devices, to the individual input channels. Insert points
are useful for adding dynamic processing or equalization to a
channel or the mix. Unlike reverbs etc., which are usually
added to the dry signal, dynamic processing is normally
applied across an entire signal. Here an Aux Send would be
inappropriate. Instead the signal is intercepted somewhere
along the channel, fed through the dynamics processor
and/or EQ, then returned to the console at the same point
where it left. The insert point is normalized, i.e. the signal is
only interrupted when a jack is plugged into it. The insert jack
is located pre EQ in the channel and is configured as: Tip =
send, Ring = return, Sleeve = ground.
The Mic input is an electroni-
cally balanced XLR type
designed to accept signals
from any balanced low imped-
ance (Low Z) microphone. To
accommodate condenser
microphones, this input is also
equipped with +48VDC phan-
tom power globally switchable
to all XLR input jacks with the
Phantom Power switch (25)
on the back panel. Dynamic
or ribbon-type microphones
do not require phantom pow-
ering. It will be necessary to
adjust the channel gain with
the input Trim control (4) to
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
The Insert can also be used as a channel direct output by
sending the signal from the ring. To use the Insert as a direct
output, insert a 1/4" phone plug halfway into the Insert jack so
the tip of the plug connects with the ring of the insert jack.
The jack will click into place when the connection to the ring
is made.
achieve a nominal operating level. The XLR jack is configured
for: Pin1 = ground, Pin2 = positive (+), Pin3 = negative (-).
[Note: The Mic inputs are more sensitive than the Line inputs.
Also, do not connect mics with the phantom power switched
on, as indicated by the Phantom Power On LED (26) in the
Master Section of the front panel. Never use unbalanced mic
cables with the Phantom Power switched on. Never short the
+48VDC to ground, as that can cause serious damage to
your mixer. Also, mute the Monitor/PA speakers when turning
the phantom power on or off.]
(4) TRIM CONTROL
The trim control adjusts the input sensitivity (channel gain) of
the mic and line inputs on the mono input channels. This con-
trol can be adjusted to accommodate input signals from a
wide variety of sources, from the high outputs from keyboards
or drum machines to the small signal outputs of microphones.
This wide range eliminates the need for Mic/Line switching.
The best balance of S/N and dynamic range will be achieved
if you adjust the TRIM control on each channel separately so
that the Peak Indicator LED (8) for that channel lights occa-
sionally.
(2) LINE INPUT
The Line input is designed to accept balanced or unbalanced
line-level signals such as those from keyboards, drum
machines, or samplers. There is enough gain available on the
line input to accept even lower level signals, such as those
from an unbalanced microphone or guitar output. Use the
Trim control (4) to adjust for the desired level. If a balanced
signal is to be connected to the line input, then a 1/4" TRS
(stereo) phone plug should be wired for: Tip = positive (+),
Ring = negative (-), Sleeve = ground.
(3) LOW CUT FILTER
Use this Low-Cut (high-pass) filter (18 dB/octave, -3 dB at 75
Hz) for reducing floor rumble, popping, breathing noises,
woolly bottom end, and to tighten up channels in a mix, etc. It
is most effective when used carefully in conjunction with the
Equalizer Controls (5).
(Note: Only either the Mic or the Line input of a given channel
can be connected at one time. Never connect both simultane-
ously to the same channel.)
(5) EQUALIZER CONTROLS
All mono input channels are fitted with a three-band EQ. All
three bands have up to 15 dB of cut and boost, with a center
detent for "off". The frequency response is flat when all three
EQ knobs are in the center detent position. The upper and
lower shelving controls have their frequencies fixed at 12 kHz
and 80 Hz respectively. The midrange control has a peaking
response at 2.5KHz (Q fixed at 1 octave). Remember that the

CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS
(6) AUX SEND 1, 2 CONTROLS
Both Aux Sends are mono and post-EQ and control the level
of the signals sent to the AUX buses.
Low Cut filter (3) is an integral
part of the overall equalization
of a mono channel. The chan-
nel EQ is a valuable feature of
the mixer as it allows the user
to control the tonal characteris-
tics of each instrument sepa-
rately. For example, boosting
the LOW can fatten the sound
and add punch to the bass or
drums; the MID control can be
used to define the midrange or
bring out the vocals; and
• Aux Send 1 is pre-fader and the signal sent to the
AUX 1 bus will be unaffected by the channel fader
setting.
• Aux Send 2 is post-fader and the signal level sent
to the AUX 2 bus will be affected by the channel
fader setting.
(5)
(6)
For almost all effects send purposes, you will want to use the
post-fader AUX 2, so that when a fader level is adjusted, any
reverb send from that channel follows the fader. Otherwise,
when the fader is pulled down, the reverb from that channel
would still be audible. Most reverbs etc. internally sum the left
and right inputs so that you can use AUX 2. You can also use
this AUX 2 send to feed inputs to a multi-track recorder or any
other unbalanced line level application.
adjusting the HIGH control can
provide a crisp sounding high
end. With the LOW set to
boost, and the Low Cut switch
activated, you get peak
response rather than shelving
at the bottom end. This is use-
ful for adding warmth to vocals
and instruments, and good for
tight but deep bass (without
losing control of your subwoofer
speaker cones). Another very
important, yet often overlooked
technique is to use the EQ to
subtract from the mix. Cutting
the HIGH control can reduce
unwanted hiss during multi-
track recording, while attenuat-
ing the MID or LOW can elimi-
nate feedback in a live perform-
ance or clear up a muddy
(7)
(8)
On the other hand, for cueing purposes and monitor ampli-
fiers, use the pre-fader AUX 1 (i.e. independent of the chan-
nel fader)
(7) PAN CONTROL
(9)
The Channel Pan positions the output of the channel in the
stereo field of the Master Mix. Its constant-power design
ensures there are no level discrepancies whether a signal is
hard-panned, center-stage, or somewhere in-between.
(8) PEAK LED INDICATOR
The Peak LED illuminates when a channel is going into over-
load. It detects the peak level after the EQ and will light at
3dB before clipping to warn that the signal is approaching
overload. You do not want the Peak LED to light except very
intermittently during a take or a mix. If it does light persistent-
ly, reduce input gain with the TRIM control (4).
(10)
sounding mix. Cutting away the
top and bottom, then pushing
up the Gain is equivalent to mid
range boost!
(9) PFL SELECT SWITCH
The PFL (pre-fader listen) switch enables monitoring the
mono signal of any channel(s) selected (button depressed) at
nominal levels though the headphone or control room monitor
outputs [In order to monitor the PFL channels selected, you
must also set the Master/PFL to Control Room switch (20)
to the button depressed (PFL) position].
[Note: Always reset a channel’s
input Gain (or external devices’
output level) after altering the
amount of mixer equalization
cut or boost applied.]
The signal is post EQ and independent of channel fader posi-
tion. Selecting the PFL never interrupts the main stereo out or
the AUX sends.
The key to successful equaliza-
tion is to avoid excess. Too
much equalization on the input channels will result in a mix
that is smeared together with nothing specifically defined.
During rehearsals, experiment with the equalizer controls on
various instruments, vocals and combinations of these mixed
together to become familiar with various equalizer settings.
(10) CHANNEL FADER
The channel faders determine the output signal level to the
Master Mix bus. They offer a smooth logarithmic taper more
often associated with much more expensive consoles for opti-
mum control of the signal.

(16) BAL CONTROL
For a mono input to the L
(MONO) input the function of
the control is the same as the
PAN controls (7) of the mono
channels. However, when a
channel is run in stereo, this
control functions as a Balance
control, determining the rela-
tive Balance of the left and
right channel signals being
sent to the left and right
Master Mix buses. For exam-
ple, with the Balance control
turned fully clockwise, only
the right portion of the chan-
nel’s stereo signal will be
routed to the Master Mix.
(15A) L (MONO) LINE INPUT
On stereo input channels 5-12 (SRM-12X) or 7-14 (SRM-
14X), the 1/4" line inputs are designed for stereo or mono
line-level signals such as those from keyboards, drum
machines, CD players, tape decks, or samplers. However,
these inputs can also be used as standard mono line inputs
by connecting the signal to the L (MONO) line in. This signal
will be routed equally to the BAL control and the left and right
outputs in the same way as the standard line input channels.
For the stereo line inputs the mono channel PAN (7) control is
replaced by the BAL (Balance) control. See also BAL CON-
TROL (16) below.

9-10,11-12, 13-14 (SRM-14X) as stereo input channels, the
left signal should be connected to the L input and the right
signal to the R input. These signals will be routed to the AUX,
EQ and Channel fader controls equally and will retain their
stereo separation. The AUX, EQ, BAL, and Channel fader
controls all function the same as those on the mono input
channels.
This has the same function as
for the mono channels. See
MONO INPUT SECTION.

When a stereo signal is input to a stereo input channel, these
controls will affect the left and right signals equally.
The Stereo Line Inputs jacks are 1/4" TRS balanced phone
jacks, Tip = positive (+), Ring = negative (-), Sleeve = ground.
The input signals to these jacks can be either balanced or
unbalanced.
(5) EQUALIZERS
The stereo channel EQ’s operate in the same manner as
those in the mono channels. The left and right signals will be
affected equally. A stereo equalizer is generally preferable
anyhow to using two mono equalizers when equalizing a
stereo signal as it avoids possible discrepancies between the
left and right settings.

(19) AUX 1,2 RETURN CONTROLS
The Aux Send 1 and 2 jacks are the outputs for the signals
sent from the channel Aux controls (6). The Aux Sends and
Aux Returns are all 1/4" unbalanced phone jacks wired: Tip =
positive (+), Sleeve = ground. AUX 1 is pre-fader and AUX 2
is post-fader. These signals can be sent to the input of an
effects processor, multi-track recorder, or used for any other
line-level auxiliary purpose. Master Aux Send levels are
adjusted by the Aux Send controls (19).
The AUX Return jacks are the mono or stereo returns for
AUX 1 and 2. If you connect a signal to the Left/Mono Return
jack only, the AUX Return will operate in mono and the signal
will be routed to the respective Aux Return Control (19) and
then mixed into the left and right Master Mix Stereo Outputs
(30). The separate left and right return jacks are provided for
use with stereo signals such as those from the output of a
stereo effects processor. The left and right return signals will
be routed to the Return level controls (19) and mixed into
the left and right Stereo (30), while maintaining stereo sepa-
ration.

The Aux Returns are multi-functional. They may be used for
returning the outputs of effect units, as Tape Returns from a
multi-track recorder, or as extra instrument inputs, especially
if your MIDI keyboard or rack supplies a pre-mixed stereo sig-
nal. Certain stereo effects produce a perceived imbalance
between the left and right channel levels. To correct for this
you will have to bring your stereo effect back on a stereo
channel, which has a Balance control (16). When applying
short left and right delays, the shortest one will always seem
loudest. When pitch shifting up and down in wide stereo to
thicken a sound, the signal shifted upwards will seem louder
than one that goes down. In both cases use the Balance con-
trol to compensate. When performing any stereo imaging
exercise, don’t just rely on the control room monitors. Get a
pair of headphones and listen in stereo and in reverse stereo,
just in case you have any significant hearing discrepancies.
Sometimes you might want to narrow the stereo width of a
reverb field. To do this you will have to come back on two
mono channels to get independent pan for the left and right
signals.
(21) TAPE/REC TO MASTER SWITCH
The Stereo Outputs consist of both Left (L) and Right (R) bal-
anced XLR’s, wired: pin 1 = ground, pin 2 = hot (+), pin 3 =
cold (-), and unbalanced 1/4" phone jacks, wired: Tip = posi-
tive (+), Sleeve = ground.
The REC Outputs (14) also provide an output of the Master
Mix. These outputs are RCA jacks, and designed primarily for
inputs to tape recorders, etc. The output level routed to the
Stereo Outputs and REC Outputs is determined ultimately by
the setting of the Master Mix fader (28). The Master Mix
(signal on the master bus) is the sum of the signals routed
from all the channels and also the inputs from the AUX return
bus and the TAPE Input (13). Use the Tape/Rec to Master
