The PEAK indicator lights up red when the level hits the clipping point.

3 PFL-AFL Level Meters

If the GROUP switch (4) is off, these meters show the levels to the PHONES jack. If the GROUP switch is on, the left meter shows the level to GROUP OUT jack 3 and the right meter shows the level to GROUP OUT jack 4. The 0 position corresponds to the standard level. The PEAK indicator comes on red when the level hits the clipping point.
NOTE If signals are present on both the PFL and AFL buses, the PHONES jack will output the PFL signal only. Accordingly, these meters will indicate only the PFL level.

1 2TR IN Control

Adjusts the level of the signal from the 2TR IN jack into the ST bus.
2 PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch
Use this switch to feed the signal from the 2TR IN jack, taken from before the 2TR IN control, into the PFL bus, so that you can monitor the signal from the PHONES jack. To turn the PFL feed on, press the switch in ( ).

4 GROUP Switch

Selects whether the meters show the GROUP levels or the ST and PFL/AFL levels. If the switch is on ( ), the four meters show the levels to GROUP OUT jacks 1 to 4, in order. If the switch is off ( ), the meters operate as described above.

I TALK BACK Section I LAMP Jack

LAMP Jack

An XLR3 pin-type output jack, for connection to a lamp.
NOTE Supported lamps: 12V (AC or DC), max. 5W. Supplies 12V to Pins 2 and 3. Pin 1 is not connected.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully before connecting a lamp.
Do not use a lamp that grounds Pin 2 or Pin 3 to the shell (body). Use of the wrong lamp type may result in damage to the mixer. Recommended lamps: Littlite's X-HI series of gooseneck lamps.

1 MIC Jack

An unbalanced XLR input jack, for connection to a talkback microphone.
NOTE This jack does not supply phantom power.

Correct lamp type

2 Talkback Control
Adjusts the talkback level.

3 AUX1-4 Switch

If this switch is on ( ), the mixer feeds the signal from the MIC jack into AUX buses 1 to 4.

4 ST Switch

If this switch is on ( ), the mixer feeds the signal from the MIC jack to the ST bus.
Do not inadvertently connect a talkback microphone to the LAMP jack. A microphone may sustain damage if connected to this jack.

I CHANNEL I/O Section

1 Monaural-Channel Input Jacks (MG32/14FX: CHs 1 to 24, MG24/14: CHs 1 to 16)
INPUT A These are balanced XLR input jacks. INPUT B These are balanced phone input jacks. You can connect either balanced or unbalanced phone plugs to these jacks.
NOTE On any given channel, you may use either INPUT A or INPUT B, but not both. If you connect to both of these inputs, only INPUT B will be effective.
3 Stereo-Channel Input Jacks (MG32/14FX: CHs 25/26, 27/28, 29/30, 31/32) (MG24/14FX: CHs 17/18, 19/20, 21/22, 23/24)
Phone jacks (MG32/14FX: CHs 25/26, 27/28, 29/30, 31/32) (MG24/14FX: CHs 17/18, 19/20, 21/22, 23/24) These are unbalanced phone input jacks. You can use each pair of jacks to input a stereo signal. Feed the L signal into the odd-numbered channel, and the R signal into the even-numbered channel. RCA-pin jacks (MG32/14FX: CHs 29/30, 31/32) (MG24/14FX: CHs 21/22, 23/24) These are unbalanced RCA-pin input jacks. You can use each pair of jacks to input a stereo signal. Feed the L signal into the odd-numbered channel, and the R signal into the even-numbered channel.

NOTE Where a channel provides both a phone jack and an RCA pin jack, you may use either one of these jacks but you may not use both at the same time. Please connect to only of these jacks on each channel. Some of the phone jacks (MG32/14FX: CHs 25/26, 27/28; MG24/14FX: CHs 17/18, 19/20) also support monaural input. Specically, if you input only into the L (MONO) jack of either pair (while leaving the R jack empty), the mixer will propagate the same signal through both the L (MONO) and R inputs.

2 INSERT I/O Jacks

These are unbalanced TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone-type bidirectional jacks. You can use these jacks to connect channels to devices such as graphic equalizers, compressors, and noise lters.
NOTE Connection to an INSERT I/O jack requires a special separately-sold insertion cable such as illustrated below. To the input jack of the external processor To the INSERT I/O jack Sleeve Sleeve Ring Tip To the output jack of the external processor Tip

I MASTER I/O Section

1 RETURN Jacks (1, 2)
These are unbalanced phone input jacks. The signal into each of these jacks feeds into the ST bus and into AUX buses 1 to 4. These jacks are typically used to receive a return signal from an external effector (reverb, delay, etc.).
NOTE These jacks can also be used as an auxiliary stereo input. If you connect to the L (MONO) jack only, the mixer will recognize the signal as monaural and will propagate the identical signal from both L and R jacks.

4 SEND Jacks

AUX Jacks (1 to 6) These are impedance-balanced phone jacks. These jacks output the signals from AUX1 to AUX6, respectively. You use these jacks, for example, to connect to a monitoring system, effector, or other such equipment. EFFECT Jacks (1, 2) These impedance-balanced phone jacks output the signals from the EFFECT buses. You would typically use these jacks to connect to an external effector.

2 2TR IN Jacks

These unbalanced RCA-pin input jacks can be used to input a stereo sound source. The signal into each of these jacks feeds into the ST bus. Use these jacks when you want to connect a stereo sound source (such as a CD player or DAT deck) directly to the mixer for monitoring.

These are impedance-balanced phone output jacks. These jacks output a clone of the mixed stereo signal from the ST bus. The level for this output is adjusted by the ST SUB OUT control in the Master Control block (see page 13). You would typically use these jacks to connect to an external mixer or a supplementary SR system.
NOTE The ST master fader does not operate on the signals from these jacks.

B POWER Switch

Use this switch to turn the mixers power ON and OFF. Press the switch in to set the power on ( ), and press again to set the power off ( ).

C AC IN Connector

Connects to the socket end of the AC power cord included with the mixer.
