Making the Most of Your Mixer

An Introduction

You’ve got yourself a mixer

and now you’re ready to use it.

Just plug everything in,

twiddle the controls, and

away you go … right?

Well, if you’ve done this

before you won’t have any

problems, but if this is the

first time you’ve ever used a

mixer you might want to

read through this little

tutorial and pick up a few

basics that will help you get

better performance and

make better mixes.

A Place for

Everything and

Everything in its

Place

A Plethora of

Connectors—What

Goes Where?

Questions you’re likely to

encounter when setting up a

system for the first time might

include “Why all these different

types of connectors on the back

of my mixer?” and “What’s the

difference?”.

Let’s start by taking a look at the

most common connector types.

The Venerable RCA Pin

Jack

This is the “consumer connector,”

and the one that has been most

commonly used on home audio

gear for many years. Also known

as “phono” jacks (short for

“phonogram”), but the term isn’t

used much these days—besides,

it’s too easily confusable with

“phone” jacks, below. RCA pin

jacks are always unbalanced, and

generally carry a line-level signal

at –10 dB, nominal. You’re most

likely to use this type of connector

when connecting a CD player or

other home audio type source to

your mixer, or when connecting

the output of your mixer to a

cassette recorder or similar gear.

The Versatile Phone Jack

The name “phone jack” arose

simply because this configuration

was first used in telephone

switchboards. Phone jacks can be

tricky because you can’t always

tell what type of signal they’re

designed to handle just by looking

at them. It could be unbalanced

mono, unbalanced stereo,

balanced mono, or an insert patch

point. The connector’s label will

usually tell you what type of signal

it handles, as will the owner’s

manual (you do keep your

manuals in a safe place, don’t

you?). A phone jack that is set up

to handle balanced signals is also

often referred to as a “TRS”

phone jack. “TRS” stands for Tip-

Ring-Sleeve, which describes the

configuration of the phone plug

used.

The Sturdy XLR

This type of connector is

generally referred to as “XLR-

type,” and almost always carries a

balanced signal. If the

corresponding circuitry is

designed properly, however, XLR-
