32. Main Out L/R
The 1/4" TRS output connectors provide balanced or
unbalanced line-level signals. Connect these to the next
device in the signal chain like an external processor
(compressor/limiter), or directly to the inputs of the
main amplifier. These are the same signal that appears
at the XLR main outputs, but 6 dB lower than the XLR
outputs. When the meters read “0”, these TRS outputs
are at 0 dBu.
The male XLR connectors provide a balanced
line-level signal that represents the end of the mixer
chain, where your fully mixed stereo signal enters the
real world. Connect these to the left and right inputs
of your main power amplifiers, powered speakers,
or serial effects processor (like a graphic equalizer
or compressor/limiter). The XLR outputs are 6 dB
hotter than the TRS outputs.
The XLR output jacks on the ProFX8v2
and ProFX12v2 are located on the rear panel.
33. CR Out L/R
[ProFX16v2, ProFX22v2, ProFX30v2]
These 1/4" jacks are usually patched to the inputs
of a control room amplifier or a headphone distribution
amplifier.
34. Sub Out 1-4
[ProFX16v2, ProFX22v2, ProFX30v2]
These four 1/4" jacks are usually patched to the
inputs of a multitrack deck or to secondary amplifiers
in a complex installation.

35. Phones
This 1/4" TRS connector supplies the output to stereo
headphones. It is the same signal that is routed to the
control room outputs.
The phones volume is controlled with...
• ...the phones knob right above the mon fader
[ProFX8v2, ProFX12v2].
• ...the cr/phones knob right above the main
mix fader [ProFX16v2, ProFX22v2, ProFX30v2].
Whenever a solo switch is engaged, you will only hear
the soloed channel(s) in the headphones. This gives
you the opportunity to audition the channels before
they are added to the main mix. (Solo signals reaching
the headphones are not affected by the channel level or
main level, therefore turn down the phones level first, as
soloed channels may be loud.)
The phones output follows standard conventions:
Tip = Left channel
Ring = Right channel
Sleeve = Common ground
WARNING:
The headphone amp is loud and
can cause permanent hearing damage. Even
intermediate levels may be painfully loud
with some headphones. BE CAREFUL! Always turn the
phones level control all the way down before connecting
headphones or pressing a solo switch, or doing anything
new that may affect the headphone volume. Then turn it
up slowly as you listen carefully.
36. Tape Inputs / Outputs
The stereo unbalanced RCA inputs allow you to
play a CD player, MP3 player, or other line-level source.
The tape in jacks accept an unbalanced signal using
standard hi-fi hookup cables.
The stereo unbalanced RCA outputs allow you to
record the main stereo mix onto a hard disk recorder
or automatic CD burner, for example. This lets you
make a recording for posterity/archive/legal purposes
whenever the band gets back together again.
The tape output is the stereo main mix, and it is not
affected by the main mix fader.
The output could also be
used as an extra set of main outputs for feeding another
zone.
