Traditional professional mixi ng consoles are all based on t he same input structure. The signal from the micro phone goes through a phase reversal switch and then to a pad to attenuate the signal before goin g to the first amplification stage. Some mixers even introdu ce a transf ormer before the first stag e to simplify the circuits. Reducing th [...]

3.2 Installa tion Procedu re Disconnect the Neutrik and dual Bantam conne ctor from the module circuit board and install them in the appropriate blank holes on the mixer's back panel. First install the Neutrik connecto r with the lock towards the top of the SX-S, then install the Bantam plug with the cables oriented towards the to p of the mix[...]
