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-  
nels 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-

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.  
(10)  
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 EQs 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.

(11) STEREO AUX RETURNS (LEFT/MONO, RIGHT)  
(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, dont 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 XLRs, 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  
switch (21) to route signals from the Tape Input (13) to the  
Master Mix Fader (28). The level of signal routed to the
