[. . . ] Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

These female XLR connectors accept a balanced microphone input from almost any type of microphone. The LINE button on the channel strip should be in the up position when using these connectors. Phantom power (48 VDC) can be switched on for condenser mics setting the 48V button to the down position. The XLR inputs are wired according to the AES standard: Pin 1 = Shield or ground Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot) Pin 3 = Negative (- or cold) 43 Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner's Manual Rear Panel Connectors 4. 1. 2 LINE Inputs 124 These -in TRS connectors accept a balanced or unbalanced line level input signal from almost any source. The LINE button on the console surface should be in the down position when using these connectors. A balanced line level signal must be wired as follows: Tip = Positive (+ or hot) Ring = Negative (- or cold) Sleeve = Shield or ground An unbalanced signal must be wired as follows: Tip = Positive (+ or hot) Sleeve = Shield or ground 4. 1. 3 INSERTS 124 These -in TRS connectors provide each channel an analog send and return point. Use the INSERT jacks to connect external serial effects devices (i. e. , compressors, equalizers) to an individual channel. These connectors can also be used as post gain control, unbalanced channel direct outputs. The INSERT points are after the GAIN control, and just before the ADC. The send (tip) is low-impedance and the return (ring) is high-impedance, allowing connection to virtually any device. Cables for this type of insert send/return function must be wired as follows: Tip = Send (output to effects device) Ring = Return (input from effects device) Sleeve = Common ground (connect shield to all three sleeves) 44 Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner's Manual Rear Panel Connectors The figure below shows three ways to use the INSERT jacks: MONO PLUG Channel Insert jack Direct out with no signal interruption to master. Insert only to first click. MONO PLUG Channel Insert jack Direct out with signal interruption to master. Insert all the way in to the second click. STEREO PLUG Channel Insert jack For use as an effects loop. (TIP = SEND to effect, RING = RETURN from effect) Figure 4-2 Insert Jack 4. 1. 4 AUX SENDS 112 These -in TRS output connectors provide 12 balanced or unbalanced line-level signals for effects devices or stage monitor amplifiers. 4. 1. 5 LINE INPUTS 18 (RETURNS) These -in TRS input connectors accept eight balanced or unbalanced line-level signals from an external processor or other device. The LINE INPUTS appear on channels 18 on the RETURNS bank. 45 Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner's Manual Rear Panel Connectors 4. 1. 6 MONITOR These -in TRS output connectors provide three balanced line-level signals that can be used to provide another stereo (L, R outputs) or mono (M output) main mix output or to monitor the CD/TAPE A or CD/TAPE B inputs. Connect these outputs to the inputs of an amplifier, powered speaker, or recording device. Typically, the L and R outputs are connected to active studio monitors and the M output to an active floor wedge. 4. 1. 7 CD/TAPE A IN/OUT These RCA jacks connect to the inputs and outputs of a CD/tape device. The TAPE IN jacks accept an unbalanced signal from a tape recorder or other signal source using standard consumer audio RCA cables. The signal can be routed to the MONITOR outputs with CD/TAPE A selected as the source in the MON. This allows cueing intermission music through the MONITOR or PHONES outputs. The CD/TAPE A inputs can also be routed to the MAINS OUT from the STEREO INPUT Touchscreen.
