14. TAPE OUTPUT
These unbalanced RCA connections tap the main
mix output to make simultaneous recording and PA
work more convenient. Connect these to your recorder’s
inputs. (See also main mix [29] on page 19.)
Mono Out: If you want to feed a mono signal to your
tape deck or other device, simply use an RCA Y-cord to
combine these outputs. Do not attempt this with any
other outputs on the 802-VLZ3.
15. AUX SEND
This is a TRS 1⁄4" balanced/unbalanced output, com-
monly used to feed stage monitors (with aux set to pre)
or an external effects processor (with aux set to post).
The aux send [28] knobs tap a portion of each chan-
nel's signal to provide an output here, allowing you to
set up a nice stage monitor mix, or to set up an external
effect from different channels. See the aux send details
on page 18.

" MAIN OUTS
These 1⁄4" TRS balanced/unbalanced outputs feed the
main mix out into the waiting world. You can feed your
amplifiers or powered speakers this way, or through the
XLR main outs [17].
To use these outputs to drive balanced inputs, con-
nect 1⁄4" TRS (Tip–Ring–Sleeve) phone plugs like this:
Tip = + (hot)
Ring = –(cold)
Sleeve = Ground
For most music recording and PA applications, unbal-
anced lines are fine. To drive unbalanced inputs, con-
nect 1⁄4" TS (Tip–Sleeve) phone plugs like this:
Tip = + (hot)
Sleeve = Ground
17. XLR MAIN OUTS
Use these to send the main mix out into the line-level
balanced inputs of your amplifier or powered speakers.
These low-impedance outputs are fully balanced, and
this output is 6 dB hotter than other outputs.
18. XLR MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL SWITCH
Engaging this switch reduces the level of the balanced
XLR main outputs, so you can feed the microphone
input of, say, another mixer. (You can safely connect the
XLR outputs into an input that provides 48V phantom
power.)
19. POWER CONNECTION
This is where you plug in the connector from the AC
adapter supplied with your mixer.
Only use the AC adapter that came with your
mixer, or a factory-authorized power supply.
20. POWER SWITCH
Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn on
the mixer. The power LED [39] on the top surface of
the mixer will glow with happiness, or at least it will if
you have the AC adapter plugged in to a suitable live AC
mains supply.
Press the bottom of this switch to put the mixer into
standby mode. It will not function, but the circuits are still
live. To remove power, either turn off the mains supply, or
unplug the power cord from the mixer and the mains sup-
ply.
As a general guide, you should turn on your mixer
first, before the power amplifier or powered speakers,
and turn it off last. This will reduce the possibilities of
any turn-on, or turn-off thumps in your speakers.
