• Two balanced line inputs

• Two balanced stereo inputs (four mono)

• Direct-coupled signal processing.

• Rugged steel construction provides superior noise shielding.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Read and follow these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Do not use where the mixer may get wet.

• Never defeat the AC polarizing or safety ground on the AC cord.

• Be certain all equipment is OFF before making or breaking

ABOUT THE MX602 BLOCK DIAGRAM

A block diagram is a simplified schematic which illustrates signal flow from
input to output and sho ws the num erous r outing var iations pos sible. It is highly
recommended that you make frequent use of the block diagram to get the most
out of your MX602 mixer. You will find the MX602 block diagram on pages 6
and 7. Throughout this manual, you will frequently see the opamp symbol. . .
