Art MX624 [5/16] Front panel connections

Additionally, the ZONE 1 and 2 BUS INPUTS may come in handy as extra stereo

inputs. Note, however, that these inputs do not have their own level control and the

zone assignment is hard-wired.

Outputs

ZONE 1 and 2 OUT (LEFT and RIGHT)

These four 1/4-inch mono (TS) jacks provide a stereo signal from each of the two

zones of your MX624 to destination devices, such as amplifiers, powered speakers, or

main mixers. These outputs are directly affected by the ZONE 1 and 2 LEVEL

controls, as well as the associated BASS and TREBLE controls. Use shielded cables

with 1/4-inch mono (TS) plugs to connect to these outputs.

Front Panel Connections

Inputs

MIC 1

This female XLR connector is similar to the two rear panel XLR connectors in all

respects, with one important exception. A signal input here can be used to lower the

volume of, or "duck", the other five input channels before they are routed to the zone

outputs. A typical application would be the lowering of the music volume in a restaurant

to announce that someone's table is ready.

The Operation section contains information on the front-panel DUCK switch, which

enables or disables ducking, and a description of the rear-panel DIP switches which

provide options for modifying ducking behavior.

CHANNEL 6 STEREO INPUT

The mini stereo phone jack (1/8-inch TRS) provides a handy input for the signal from

an MP3 player, phone or tablet. It is connected in parallel to the rear-panel stereo RCA

phone jacks.

Refer to the BLOCK DIAGRAM on pages 10 and 11 for more information on how

these connections are routed internally.
