120 VAC INPUT: Connects to a properly grounded AC outlet. MAIN INPUTS: Balanced XLR jac ks f or connecting to the desired Right and Left program material. AUX INPUTS: 1/4” and RCA unbalanced inputs - for use in the event additional program material is to be mixed with the main inputs, or if XLR plugs are not available .
Note: The description for the Channel Inserts pertains to all six channels.
CHANNEL INSERTS: 1/4” TRS jacks which directly access the channel’s heaphone output circuitry . This is a stereo jac k and requires a TRS stereo signal.
Connect the AC cord to a properly grounded ac outlet. Determine which input configuration you will use; either discreet right/left, TRS
stereo, or mono . For a discreet right/left input configuration, connect a balanced XLR plug contain-
ing the “Right” portion of the stereo signal to the Right Main Input. Connect a balanced XLR plug containing the “Left” portion of the stereo signal to the Left Input.
For a TRS stereo input configur ation, connect a Tip-Ring-Slee v e stereo plug into the front panel STEREO IN input. This cable may come from a mixer’s headphone output for example.
The Aux Inputs are connected in the same manner as the discreet right/left input configuration listed above .
To send a mono signal to the RA62b, connect an XLR jack to either Main Input, or a single 1/4” Tip-Sleeve or RCA plug into either Aux Input input and press in the front panel MONO/STEREO switch. This mono signal will be fed to both the right and left sides of the headphone outputs.
INSERTS The inserts have been provided so you can directly access each headphone output with its own program material. The inserts
require
Tip-Ring-Slee v e connectors, with right and left signals on the tip and ring respectively. If you use a TS mono plug - you will only hear sound out of one side. When these insert jacks are used, the main Right/Stereo and Left/Mono, as well as the Aux Inputs - are disconnected. Only the stereo signals sent to the Insert jacks go to that corresponding output.
CAUTION: Plugging a mono 1/4” TS plug into the Headphone Outputs may cause permanent damage to the unit because one side would be shorted to ground.
NEVER PLUG A MONO
PLUG INTO ANY OF THE HEADPHONE OUTPUTS.
