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.
AUX RETURN LEFT/RIGHT
The AUX RETURN LEFT/RIGHT are stereo inputs that
are generally used to connect the outputs of an effects
processor, but can also accept the signal from any line
level source like a keyboard, recorder and even anoth-
er mixer. The signal connected to the AUX RETURN
LEFT/RIGHT will feed the main LEFT/RIGHT MIX bus.
The overall level is controlled by the AUX RET knob
located in the master section on the front panel. Use
the LEFT/MONO input when connecting a mono input
signal to the AUX RETURN.
CONTROL ROOM LEFT/RIGHT OUTPUT
The Control Room outputs are used to connect a stu-
dio monitor system. The Control Room outputs have
the same output as the L/R MIX, however, the level
can be adjusted independently from the main mix
using the C ROOM/HEADPHONES control.
MIX LEFT/RIGHT OUTPUT
In a live sound application, the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX outputs are connected to a power amplifier or powered
speakers. In a recording application, the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX outputs are used to connect to the inputs of a
stereo device such as computer sound card, DAT, or cassette recorder.
HEADPHONE OUTPUT
You can connect a standard pair of stereo headphones to the PHONES jack and depending on the posi-
tion of the 2T TO CR switch, you will hear either the 2-Track input or the MAIN mix.
2TR INPUT
The MDR624 features dual RCA connectors for the left and right 2-track input. You can use these inputs
to connect a CD, Cassette, Mini Disk, DAT or the output from a computer sound card. To listen to the
input connected to the 2T IN, be sure to check the position of the 2T To Mix and 2T TO CR switches. For
more information on using the 2 Track inputs, see the section “PLAYING BACK A CD USING 2T TO MIX ” on page 13 of
this manual.
2TR OUTPUT
If you want to record the mix from your MDR624, you can use the 2-track OUT connectors. The dual RCA
connectors can be connected to a CD, Cassette, Mini Disk, DAT or recorder, even the input of a computer
sound card for hard disk recording. For more information on using the 2 Track outputs, see the section “RECORDING
A MIX FROM THE MDR624 ” on page 13 of this manual.
