Thanks for the tutorial. Definitely helped me out.

Your presentation was nice and simple. Many try to explain it before they actually use it. You didn't complicate it

[@hopkinks1]

Thank you. I tried to make it so a non-sound engineer (and most likely a musician) could understand it. Often times, musicians know their instrument but not other audio equipment. I was in that boat until I needed to learn more.

If you get low monitor output, you may have the plugs wired wrong. The outputs are set up for phones, with tip and ring both separate hot signals, not balanced out. So to get a line level signal use a stereo plug but hook hot to tip and ground to sleeve and leave ring unconnected. Or just insert an unbalanced cable (tip-sleeve) to the first notch. I am using the unit as a 4 channel recorder to archive my collection of quad SQ, QS, and CD-4 lps. Each input and monitor channel is used for one of the 4 channels from my quad decoder. The mixer monitor outs drive the "discreet analog surround inputs on my Marantz receiver with plenty of volume. My only beef is the inability to label tracks with names more easily.

good job, pretty simple easy to understand the very basic functions.. thanks and more power

Nice simple and useful presentation. I might buy this although there seem to be a new generation of 32bit floating point mixers on it's way.

Great explanation

[@hopkinks1]

Thanks. I wanted something non-techy for non-techies.

thank you

Great video. You said it actually only has 10 inputs, but I see on the right of the top row, connections labelled 9, 10, 11 and 12. What are those connections used for?

[@hopkinks1]

They’re “stereo” inputs. Technically it does have 12 but counting stereo inputs as 2 instead of one is somewhat misleading in my opinion.

Nice rundown. I have 2 doubts. 1. In Port 9/10 or 11/12 - if 2 ¼” Jack mics are inserted does it get combined as one or we can access/modify the left part in the software & adjust the reverb and frequencies? 2. You said grouping is there. Does the grouping also be assigned to the headphone jack? Like there are 3 headphone jack. 1 for singers only, 1 for singer & drummer, 1 for all - like to editor/director.

[@hopkinks1]

Give me a little time and I’ll research/try your questions to get you answers

[@Freefire.002max]

Super

[@hopkinks1]

Thanks. I’m glad you liked it.

When I use the A-Output for the Monitor I get in trouble. This Output ist a Stereo Output! If I use a cable with a Stereo jack and connect it to the Monitor, the Monitors symetric Input builds a differential signal which sounds terrible! Stereo connectors and symetric connectors are not comatible.

[@hopkinks1]

There are 2 A outputs. I use the one one the right labeled “PHONES” for my monitor.
