It is intended to patch into an effects device�s input, hence the name FX.

28. TAPE OUTPUTS
Use these jacks to capture the entire performance to tape. The signal at these jacks is a sample of the main mix, as it appears at the MAIN (24) output. The TAPE OUTPUT level is affected by the MAIN MIX (22) control.

29. PHONES OUTPUT
The stereo signal at this output jack is the same as the CTRL ROOM (25) outputs, but it is not affected by the position of the CTRL ROOM (19) knob. You can listen to the main mix, or the CD/TAPE, depending upon the position of the CTRL ROOM (18) switch. The PHONES (20) control allows you to set the levels in your headphones as desired, without disturbing the main mix or control room levels. Note: Be very careful because the PHONES jack can drive any standard headphones to very loud levels. Please see page 2 for information on hearing protection. See Appendix B for information about 1/4" TRS stereo connectors.

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
24. MAIN OUTPUTS
These 1/4" TRS jacks represent the end of the mixer chain, where your fully mixed stereo signal enters the real world. Connect these outputs to the inputs of your amplifiers, powered speakers, or serial effects processor (graphic equalizer, for example).

25. CTRL ROOM OUTPUTS
These 1/4" TRS jacks can be used to provide another main mix output (with the CTRL ROOM (18) switch set to MAINS), or to monitor the CD/Tape Inputs (CTRL ROOM switch set to CD/TAPE). Connect these outputs to the inputs of an amplifier, powered speakers, or recording device.

monitor�s input. This jack can also be used to feed the inputs of an effects device. Each channel strip has an AUX 1 MON (8) send control knob that adjusts how much of that channel�s signal appears at this output. The output from this jack is the sum of all those active channels that have their AUX 1 knobs set to more than the minimum position. This output is not affected by the channel LEVEL (11), or MAIN MIX (22) controls.

30. POWER SWITCH
Push the side of the switch labeled �ON� to turn the mixer on; you should see the POWER LED (16) glow with happiness. To turn the mixer off, push the switch the other way. As a general rule, turn the mixer on first, before any amplifiers or powered speakers. At the end of a show, turn it off last. This will prevent any turn-on or turn-off thumps from being heard in the speakers.

27. AUX SEND 2 FX OUTPUT
This 1/4" TRS output can be used to connect to the input of an external effects device. Each channel strip has an AUX 2 FX (9) control that adjusts how much of that channel�s signal appears at this output. The output from this jack is the mix of all those active channels that have their AUX 2 knobs set more than minimum. This output is affected by the channel LEVEL (11), but not the MAIN MIX (22) control. Note: Since this output is post-channel EQ and LEVEL, it is not used as a traditional stage monitor cue.

31. POWER IN
This connection is where you connect the supplied external AC power supply to provide AC power to the mixer. Connect the external power supply to the Blend 6 first, then plug the power supply into a suitable and properly rated AC outlet. WARNING: Make sure you use the correct external power supply capable of providing 9 VDC at 1.5 amps.
