Operating Instructions

Since numerous applications exist for the SM26S, no single 

set of operational procedures control its use. 

The SM26S Swiss 

Army Mixer 

RaneNote (included) explores the many configu-

rations of the SM26S in depth, and you should peruse it for 

applications information.

Internal Jumper Options

There exist within the SM26S some signal routing options, 

requiring removal of the top cover to move some jumpers. 

This must only be done with the power off by qualified service 

personnel.

If an SM26S needs to have an additional set of indepen-

dent outputs, as in a 2x4 stereo distribution amplifier (see 

Swiss Army Mixer

, Figure 10), the LEFT and RIGHT MIX 

OUTPUTS can be used in addition to the 6 MONO OUTS. 

Normally, the LEFT and RIGHT MIX OUTPUTS produce 

the sum mix of all 6 LEVEL and PAN controls. To break any 

channel away from the Mix Output bus, internal jumpers 

have been provided.

 

These are located behind the MIX/PAN 

controls for each channel. J3 connects MONO OUT 1 to the 

mix bus. J6 connects MONO OUT 2, J9 connects MONO 

OUT 3, and so on — see the board layout.

SHIP POSITION: SEND CHANNEL OUTPUT TO THE MIX BUS
CHANGE JUMPER TO DISCONNECT AND ONLY ROUTE TO THE MONO OUT
