A position at the zero (0) marking is the nominal level. Raising the fader above 0 provides up to 10dB of gain. MX400 User’s Guide...
R and even (EVEN) groups. If the knob is set to the center position, the same amount of signal will be sent to the stereo L and R, and the odd/even groups. LEVEL control This adjusts the output level of the stereo module. MX400 User’s Guide...

ON switch, the group assign switches, or the AUX settings. As the name suggests, the signal is taken pre-fader (post EQ). You may listen to an individual module, or to two or more modules simultaneously. MX400 User’s Guide...
When off, no signal will be output from the corresponding GROUP OUT jack. AFL (After Fader Listen) switch This monitors the GROUP signal. This is on when the switch is pressed in. Group fader This fader adjusts the signal level of the GROUP output. ∞ MX400 User’s Guide...
When the module is off, no signal will be output from the ST2/MONI OUT jack. L+R switch This switch causes a mono mixed signal to be output from the ST2/MONI OUT jack. ST2/MONITOR fader This fader controls the signal level of the ST2/MONITOR output. ∞ MX400 User’s Guide...
ST1 OUT jack will be output. L-ST1-R faders These faders control the level of the ST OUT output. A position at the zero (0) marking is the nominal output level. ∞ ∞ L — ST 1 — R MX400 User’s Guide...
STEREO 1 ST2/MONITOR METER SELECT The MX400 provides six LED meters, and three types of output level can be viewed on the meters. 1) GROUP 1/2, 2) GROUP 3/4 or ST2/MONITOR L/R, 3) STEREO L/R. The “0” position indicates the nominal output level.
These are unbalanced TRS jacks, with tip=out, ring=in, and sleeve=ground. • Nominal input level: 0dB • Nominal output level: 0dB DIRECT OUT jacks (0dB) These are unbalanced 1/4” phone jacks which output the post-fader signal independently from each input module. • Nominal output level: 0dB MX400 User’s Guide...

• Nominal input level: +4dB or –10dB ST INPUT 1/2 B jacks These are RCA pin jacks which input a stereo source. These jacks are selected by the A/B switch. • Nominal input level: +4dB or –10dB MX400 User’s Guide...
“ON” position, the PHANTOM indicator will light, and 48 DC power will be provided between pin 2 and pin 3 of the INPUT A jacks. If you do not need phantom power, be sure to turn this to the “OFF” posi- tion. MX400 User’s Guide...

(2.45mV) (24.5mV) *1. Sensitivity is the lowest input level that will produce an output of +4dB (1.23V) or the nominal output level when MX400 is set to maximum gain (i.e. all level controls and faders set to maximum). *2. XLR-type connectors and phone jacks (TRS) are balanced (Tip=HOT, Ring=COLD, Sleeve=shield).
*4. In these specifications, when dB represents a specific voltage, 0dB is referenced to 775mV RMS, for TAPE SEND dBV represents a specific voltage, 0dBV is referenced to 1V RMS. • All specifications subject to change without notice.
