Soundcraft MH3 Rear Panel Connections
STANDARD FRAMES
Regardless of frame size, every MH3
is fitted with a static central section.
Looking at the desk from left to right,
this central section provides 4 stereo
inputs, group/auxiliary 1-8 outputs,
dedicated auxiliary 9-12 outputs, matrix
1-4 outputs and the master section. With
increasing frame size, mono input
modules are placed either to the left or
right of the central section. The
configurations for each standard frame
size are shown in the adjacent table:
OPTIONAL MODULES
Three variations of 8 channel module
are available in addition to those
fitted as standard, allowing unsurpassed
flexibility of configuration at this
price level. Each optional module must
be fitted in place of standard mono
input modules. The diagram below
illustrates the configurations possible
with these extra modules.
4 Mono + 4 Stereo Input Module
By fitting in place of the mono input
module immediately to the left of the
central section, this module is designed
to provide an additional 4 stereo input
channels, giving a total of 8. It can
also be used in combination with the 8
channel stereo input module to give
totals of 16 or 24 stereo inputs. The
features of the mono and stereo inputs
on this module are identical to those on
the standard modules.

8 Channel Stereo Input Module
This module allows a block of 8 mono
inputs to be replaced by 8 stereo
inputs. Adding one of these modules
gives a total of 12 stereo inputs. 4
Matrix + 4 Mono Input Module This module
expands the matrix output capability
from 4 to 8 outputs. The facilities of
the additional matrix outputs are
identical to those on the standard
module, including integral output
metering. The module incorporates 4
reduced-function mono input channels
which make use of the input faders in
the fader section which would otherwise
become redundant. These 4 inputs can
either be used as mono FX returns or can
be used as a way of providing a direct
mic input into the corresponding matrix
output. Only one of these modules can be
fitted, and it must be placed
immediately to the right of the master
section. |
