Rear Panel Description
1 MASTER IN are balanced Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) ¼" Master Inputs. ese Inputs feed all six MONO OUTs when all MONO
INs are not used. Connecting to individual MONO INs disconnects that channel from these Inputs (refer to the Block Diagram).
For unbalanced operation use a standard mono ¼" plug; for balanced operation use a TRS (stereo) ¼" plug wired as follows:
TIP is signal + (connect to Pin 2 on a 3-pin connector).
RING is signal – (pin 3 in a 3-pin connector).
SLEEVE is chassis ground.
2 MONO INPUTS are TRS ¼" jacks which accept either balanced or unbalanced mono signals. ese are switching jacks which
automatically bypass the MASTER IN jacks whenever a plug is inserted (see the Block Diagram). Same wiring conventions as 1.
3 MONO OUTPUTS are ¼" TRS jacks that deliver either an unbalanced output (use TS plugs), or a balanced output (use TRS
plugs). Follow wiring conventions as in 1.
4 EXPAND OUTS are ¼" TRS jacks connected in parallel with the MASTER IN jacks, allowing two or more SM 26Ss to be
daisychained for multiple splitting. Simply connect the EXPAND OUT to the MASTER IN of another SM 26S; there is no limit
to the number of expansions possible with the SM 26S.
NOTE: ese Expand Outputs are not buffered from the Master Inputs. erefore it is not possible to mix both balanced and
unbalanced lines in the same channel between several units: once the ring and sleeve are shorted anywhere in the chain (by using a
mono plug) the entire line becomes unbalanced.
5 MIX OUTPUTS are balanced TRS ¼" outputs controlled by the MASTER OUTPUT LEVEL control. ey are fed either by
the MASTER IN or by any of the six MONO INPUTS, or a combination of both (see e Swiss Army Mixer RaneNote). Follow
wiring conventions as in 1.
6 Universal Voltage Input: via a miniature IEC 60320 C6 appliance inlet. is mates with an IEC 60320 C5 line cord (USA
domestic). Do not lift the ground connection!
