6 Controls and Functions The following section details each part of the MDR624’s input channels including the GAIN control, 3-BAND EQ, AUX send, PAN, BALANCE and LEVEL controls.
BALANCE (Stereo Inputs Only) The MDR624’s BALANCE control is used to place or position a mono input into the stereo main Left and Right MIX bus. For a stereo input, the balance control is used to center the sound between the Left and Right Mix bus. You can create a stereo image by panning some input signals to the left and others to the right.
MAIN LEVEL The master MAIN control is the overall volume control for the left and right mix bus. The MAIN LEVEL affects both the Control ROOM signal which is output to the speakers and the line level signal which is output from the MIX OUT jacks.
POWER LED The Power LED lights up to indicate that the main POWER switch (located on the rear panel) is on. - Phantom P ower LED This LED illuminates indicating that the 48 volt phantom power is applied to the microphone pre-amps enabling use with condenser micro- phones.
Microphone Input - Mono Input Channels Use these inputs to connect Low Impedance microphones and low level signals from direct boxes. The MIC inputs have a nominal operating level of –50dB through -20dB. The MIC inputs also feature +48V phantom power, allowing you to use condenser microphones.
AUX Send The signal present at the AUX output is sent from the AUX bus, which is fed from the AUX send on the input channels. The AUX output can be used as the MONITOR MIX bus in a live sound situation by con- necting the output to a power amp and monitor speak- er.
