Making Connections

Inputs and Outputs

1. XLR Microphone Jacks
These jacks accept typical
3-pin XLR inputs for balanced
and unbalanced signals. They
can be used in conjunction
with microphones–such as
p r o f e s s i o n a l c o n d e n s e r,
dynamic or ribbon microphones
– with standard XLR male
connectors, and feature low
noise preamplifiers, serving for crystal clear sound
replication. The AM642D mixers feature a total of six
XLR microphone inputs.
NB. When these inputs are used with condenser microphones,
the Phantom Power should be activated. However, when Phantom
Power is engaged, single ended (unbalanced) microphones and
instruments should not be used on the Mic inputs.

2. Line Inputs

This input accepts typical 1/4" TRS balanced or
TS unbalanced inputs, for balanced or unbalanced
signals. They can be used in conjunction with a wide
range of line level devices such as keyboards, drum
machines, electric guitars, and a variety of other
electric instruments.
These inputs are found at the rear
of the AM642D USB.

3. Stereo Channels
The AM642D mixers also feature a few stereo
channels, thrown in for maximum flexibility. Each
of these stereo channels features two 1/4" phone
jacks, for the addition of various line level input
devices, such as electronic keyboards, guitars and
external signal processors or mixers. If you wish
to use a monaural device on a stereo input, simply
plug the device's 1/4" phone jack into the left (mono)
input and leave the right input bare. The signal will
be duplicated to the right due to the miracle of jack
normalizing. The AM642D mixers feature four stereo
channels and include a +4/-10dB selector switch for
a maximum flexibility.
4. AUX Returns
These 1/4" TS inputs are for the return of audio to
the AM642D mixers, processed by an external signal
processor. If really needed, they can also be used as
additional inputs. The feed from these inputs can be
adjusted using the AUX Return controls on the face
of the mixer. When connecting a monaural device to
the AUX Return 1 and 2 inputs, simply plug a 1/4"
phone jack into the left (mono) input, and the signal
will appear in the right as well. This, however, does
not work for the AUX Return 2 input on all AM642D
mixers. When the AUX Return 2 is used, the built-in
digital effects processor is automatically by-passed.
5. AUX Sends
These 1/4" TS outputs may be used to connect to
an external signal processor, or even to an amplifier
and speakers (depending on your desired settings)
from the mixer. The signal from the AUX Sends is
controlled by the AUX master controls (on the face
of the mixer), which obtain their signal from the AUX
controls located on each channel strip. The AM642D
mixers feature a total of 3 AUX sends.
6. Foot Switch Jacks
This port is for the inclusion of a foot switch, used
to remotely turn the Digital Effects Processor on
and off.
7. Phones
This stereo output port is suited for use with
headphones, allowing monitoring of the mix. The
audio level of this output is controlled using the
Control Room / Phones control.
