Tapco Mix 260FX User Manual - Front Panel Connectors

ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX RIGHT on subgroup 2. Now
you can ride the entire drum mix with two faders—
subgroups 1 and 2.
If you engage just one SUB ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX
button per subgroup (LEFT or RIGHT), the signal
sent to the MAIN MIX will be the same level as the
SUB OUTS. If you want the subgroup to appear in
the center of the main mix, engage both the SUB
ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX LEFT and RIGHT buttons.
The signal will be sent to both sides.
42. MAIN MIX Faders
This controls the fi nal level of main mix signals
sent to the MAIN [52] outputs, TAPE [49] outputs,
CONTROL ROOM [55], PHONES [50], and METERS
[27]. So it all comes down to this one control.
Typically, the faders will be positioned somewhere
between 0 dB (U) and the +5 dB position.
All active mono and stereo channels that are not
turned down or muted will appear in the main mix
(the L-R Assign button [19] must be engaged on
the Mix.260FX). Other signals feeding this control
include the STEREO AUX and FX RETURNS [46/47],
and CD/TAPE IN [49] when TAPE TO MAIN [24] is
pushed in.
43. POWER LED
This LED turns on when the mixer’s power cord
is plugged into an AC outlet and the POWER [57]
switch on the rear panel is turned on.
44. PHANTOM 48V LED
This LED turns on when the mixer’s PHANTOM
Power [58] switch on the rear panel is turned on.

45. AUX SEND OUT 1 and 2
Connect these 1/4" TRS outputs to the inputs
of an external eff ects processor or stage monitor
amplifi er.
Each channel strip has an AUX SEND 1 MON [11]
and AUX SEND 2 FX [13] control knob that adjusts
how much of that channel’s signal appears at each
of these outputs. The output from these jacks is the
sum of all those active channels that have their AUX
SEND knobs set to more than the minimum position.
