1. PHANTOM MASTER switch
This switch is used to turn the +48V DC phantom power ON and
OFF. Phantom power is switched simultaneously for input channels
1 through 8.
2. 2TR IN
These are RCA/phono jacks with a –10 dB nominal input level. Signals input here are fed through to the CUE/2TR IN switch and are
monitored via the monitor out and headphones. The outputs of a
2-track master recorder can be connected here for confidence monitoring and playback.
Note:
When no plugs are ins erted into the S T IN phone j a cks , the 2TR
IN s ignals are fed through to the stereo input channel. This means that
you can apply EQ, etc., to the 2 TR IN s i gnals . When plugs are inse r ted
into the ST IN phone jacks, however, this connection is broken.
3. ST IN
These are unbalanced 1/4" phone jacks with a +4dB nominal input
lev e l . Si g nals input here are fe d through to the stereo input channel.
The outputs of an external ef f ects processor, or other device with stereo line-level outputs can be connected here.
When no plugs are inserted, the 2TR IN signals are fed through to the
stereo input channel (see above note).

1–ground, pin 2–hot (+), and pin 3–cold (–). Phantom powering is
available for condenser type microphones, and it is set using the
PHANTOM MASTER switch.
Input channels 9 through 16 have balanced phone jack connectors.
The nominal input level is –60dB to +4dB. W iring is s le eve–ground,
tip–hot (+), and ring–cold (–). They can be used with balanced or
unbalanced plugs.
Besides connector type and phantom power, the input circuits for
inputs 1 through 16 are the same. So with an adaptor cable, inputs 9
through 16 can also be used with balanced microphones.
Note:
Make sure that the ba lanced devices y ou connect to the INPUTs
als o use pin 2–hot, pin 3–col d wiring. If they’re wired differ e ntly , undesirable phase shifts may occur. Refer to their user manuals for details.
5. POWER switch
This is a push-type power switch. It’s recessed to prevent accidental
operation. Press once to power ON; press again to power OFF.
6. PHONES
This is a stereo (TRS) 1/4" phone jack. A pair of stereo headphones
can be connected here for monitoring. The phones output signal
source is the same as that of the monitor output. The headphone lev el
is set using the PHONES LEVEL control.
7. MONITOR OUT
These are unbalanced 1/4" phone jacks wi th a +4dB nominal output
level. They output the monitor signals, and can be connected to the
inputs on a monitor amplifier. The monitor signal source is determined by the CUE/2TR IN switch and CUE modes. The output leve l
is set using the MONITOR OUT LEVEL control.
8. AUX SEND
These are unbalanced 1/4" phone jacks wi th a +4dB nominal output
level. They output the SEND3 and SEND4 signals, and can be used
to fe ed external eff ects processors, foldback amplifiers, or multitrack
recording equipment.
SEND3 and SEND4 can be configured as a stereo pair. In this case,
an additional pan control on each input channel and a balance control
on the stereo input channel al lows input signals to be panned between
these outputs. Se e “S END3-4 S tereo Pair” on page 46 for more details.

Note:
When the STEREO OUT XLRs are used with unbalanced connec tors , their maximum output leve l is r educ ed b y 6dB. This mea ns that
the STEREO OUT signal actually clips when the 12dB LED lights up,
which is 8dB before the CLIP LED.
10.REC OUT
The ANALOG outputs are RCA/phono jacks with a –10dB nominal
output level . They output the main stereo signals for recording, and
can be connected to cassette and other analog recorders. They can also
be used instead of the XLR STERE O OUTs to connect ProMix 01 to
your home hi-fi system.
The DIGITA L COAX IAL output is an RCA /phono jack. It outputs the
main stereo signals for recording, and can be connected to DAT, MD,
and DCC digital recorders via a 75 ohm coaxial c able. The digital output format is IEC958 (Consumer).
11.MIDI
These are standard MIDI IN and OUT connections. They can be used
to connect a controlling computer or MIDI sequencer for automated
control. They can also be used for control of other ProMix 01s in a
multiple system. See “MIDI” on page 79.

SEL Buttons
SEL
The [SEL] buttons are used in conjunction with the L CD functions.
T o perform an action on a channel, first selec t it using a [S EL ] button,
then choose a function using the function buttons to the left of the
LCD. This form of editing is similar to computer word processing.
First, you select your text, then execute a function.
The input channel, stereo input channel, and stereo output [SEL]
buttons select their respective channels. The RTN/SEND [SEL] button, on the other hand, is used to select RTN1, RTN2, SEND3, and
SEND4. Pressing it repeatedly cycles through the options in the following order:
RTN1—>RTN2— >SEND3—>SEND4—>
When SEND3 and SEND4 are used as a stereo pair, SEND3 and
SEND4 are selected together. The order then becomes:
RTN1—>RTN2—>SEND3-4—>
RTN1, RTN2, SEND3, and SEND4 are selected automatically when
the corresponding [SEND] button is pressed. For example, pressing
[SEND1] selects RTN1 and pressing [SEND3] selects SEND3.
When a channel is selected, its [SEL] button LED lights up and its
name appears in the SEL CH area of the LCD. Stereo-pair channels
are selected together. The channel currently selected by the
R TN/SE ND [SEL] button is indicated by the highlighted arrow head

Phantom power provides a +48V DC power source for condenser
type microphones. It is applied to XLR input channels 1 through 8.
The PHANTOM MAS TE R s witch on the rear panel is used to turn it
ON and OFF. Phantom power is applied simultaneously to all eight
inputs. It cannot be set for individual inputs.
With phantom power set to ON, non-phantom powered microphones, dynamic microphones, and balanced line-level sources can
still be connected to inputs 1 through 8. However, be careful with
unbalanced sources.
Pad
The Pad function attenuates input signals by 20dB. This is useful
when inputting high lev el signals that overload the input preamp. B y
increasing the ef fe ctive range of the GAIN control, high-level s ignals
can be adjusted accurately . Pad can be set individually f or the 16 input
channels. The PAD switch at the top of each channel is used to turn
it ON and OFF: switch up for OFF, down for ON.

occur. The GAIN control should be set with some care, because if it

Metering
ProMix 01 features comprehensiv e s ignal leve l metering. Input channels , the stereo input channel, R TN1, R TN2, S E ND3, and SE ND4 are
all metered using the METER LCD function. The stereo output is
metered using the dedicated 12-segment LED meters. Peak hold is
available for all meters.
The METER LCD function consists of two displays. One shows the
16 input channels. The other, the stereo input (ST IN), R TN1, R TN2,
SEND3, and SEND4. Both displays are shown below.

The Phase function reverses the polarity of the hot and cold feeds in
a balanced input (i.e. pins 2 and 3). The phase can be se t for the input
channels and stereo input channel. It can be used to compensate for
incorrectly wi red cables and connectors. It is also useful, f or example,
when a snare drum is miked top and bottom. In this case the bottom
microphone signal needs to be phase reversed.

The parameters are:

ProMix 01 EQ is three-band fully parametric, with variable Q, frequency, g ain, and ON/OFF parameters. Initially the E Q is configured
as a conventional three-band EQ, with shelving-type low and high
and peaking-type mid. Howev er, high and low can also be configured
as peaking types. EQ can be applied to the inputs channels, stereo
input channel, RTN1, RTN2, and stereo output. Stereo-pair input
channels are controlled together.
Shown below is the EQ LCD function. The top-half shows the EQ
response curve, the bottom-half, the EQ parameters. The v ertical dotted line indicates the frequency of the selected band.
Q is stated in musically intuitive octave values. The following table
