Fender knows the importance of sound reinforcement. From the simple box-top mixer to today's professional touring concert systems, the need to communicate, to make the connection between the performer and the audience is foremost in Fender's mind.

Perhaps no other single piece of gear can make or break your band's sound. You see, your sound system is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. It is an integral part of the audio chain and should be treated with special care and attention to detail.

At Fender, we know what building quality musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment is all about. In fact, many of the world's best sounding electric musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment proudly wear the Fender name.

Whether you need a simple box top powered mixer for your Saturday afternoon jam, or a professional full-size concert system, Fender has the sound reinforcement equipment to meet your needs. Likewise, your decision to purchase Fender pro audio gear is one you will appreciate with each performance for years to come.

Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt thank you,

J.PA 1 IN - This 1/4 inch, TS, unbalanced, line level input jack allows the SRM 6302 / 8302’s power amplifier #1 (PA 1) to be fed from an external signal source. When this connection is used, the “main out” connection to PA 1 is overridden.

K.MON OUT - This 1/4 inch, TS, unbalanced, line level output is designed to feed the SRM 6302 / 8302’s monitor bus signal to an external power amplifier or monitor system.

L.PA 2 IN - This 1/4 inch, TS, unbalanced, line level input jack allows the SRM 6302 / 8302’s power amplifier #2 (PA 2) to be fed from an external signal source. When this connection is used, the internal connection to PA 2 is overridden.

M.EFFECTS OUT/FOOTSWITCH - This 1/4 inch, TS, unbalanced, line level output jack is designed to feed the SRM’s effects bus signal to an external signal processing device, such as a digital delay or a chorus unit. When a footswitch (P/N 048458, optional) is inserted into this jack, the SRM’s internal reverb can be turned on or off remotely.

N.EFFECTS IN - This 1/4 inch, unbalanced, TS, line level input jack is designed to accept signal from an external processing device, such as a digital delay or a chorus unit. The signal entering this jack is mixed into the Main and Monitor using the “Tape/Effects” controls labeled “Return to Main” and “Return to Monitor”.
