Precautions
• Connect the mixer power cord only to the power supply
unit, and connect the power supply unit to an AC outlet
of the type stated in this
Owner’s Manual
or as marked
on the power supply unit. Failure to do so is a fire and
electrical shock hazard.
• Do not locate the mixer in a place subject to excessive
heat or in direct sunlight. This could be a fire hazard.
• Do not place the mixer in a place subject to excessive
humidity or dust. This could be a fire and electrical
shock hazard.
• Do not plug several devices into the same AC outlet. This
may overload the AC outlet, and could be a fire and elec-
trical shock hazard. It may also affect the performance of
some equipment.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. A dam-
aged power cord is a potential fire and electrical shock
hazard.
• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is
exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the
mixer in this condition is a fire and shock hazard.
• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting from an
AC outlet. Never pull the cord. Damaging the power cord
in this way is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not place small metal objects on top of the mixer.
Metal objects inside the mixer are a fire and electrical
shock hazard.
• Do not try to modify the mixer. This could be a fire and
electrical shock hazard.
• The mixer operating temperature is between 5˚C and
35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F).
• Turn off all audio devices and speakers when connecting
to the mixer. Refer to the owner’s manual for each device.
Use the correct cables and connect as specified.
• If you notice any abnormality—such as smoke, odor, or
noise—turn off the mixer immediately. Remove the
power cord from the AC outlet. Confirm that the abnor-
mality is no longer present. Consult your dealer for
repair. Using the mixer in this condition is a fire and
shock hazard.
• If a foreign object or water gets inside the mixer, turn it
off immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC
outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the mixer in
this condition is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• If you plan not to use the mixer for a long period of time,
remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Leaving the
mixer connected is a fire hazard.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a
chemical cloth to clean the mixer. Use only a soft, dry
cloth.
• The mixer is a heavy piece of equipment. Always grip the
underneath, not the side panels, when lifting.
• The mixer uses high-frequency digital circuits that may
cause interference on radios and televisions placed close
to it. If interference does occur, relocate the affected
equipment.

Features of the system
• The M3000-40C provides a generous number of input
modules; 40 monaural and 4 stereo (the M3000-24
provides 24 monaural and 4 stereo). Stereo output, 16
mix outputs, and 8 matrix outputs are provided in
addition. The M3000 is suitable for use in a wide
range of applications, such as the main mixer for
sound reinforcement, as a monitor mixer, or in build-
ing installations.
• The GA Diversity function allows each pair of MIX
buses 1/2–7/8 to be switched between group bus
(fixed output level from the input channels) and AUX
bus (variable output level from the input channels).
Bus configuration can be set up as needed.
• The Scene Memory function allows the on/off status
of the mono/stereo input channels, MIX OUT 1–16,
and STEREO A OUT to be saved as one of 128
“scenes.” Scenes can be selected from the front panel,
or by MIDI program change messages from an exter-
nal device. In addition, MIDI control change mes-
sages transmitted from an external device can be used
to switch the individual on/off status of input chan-
nels or bus outputs channels.
• By modifying internal settings, Scene Memory num-
bers 1–8 can be used as mute groups. In this case, up
to eight mute (on/off) settings can be added/defeated
individually.
• Eight VCA master faders allow the gain of multiple
input channels to be controlled as a group. By group-
ing the desired input channels and assigning them to a
VCA master fader, you can adjust the mix as appropri-
ate for the on-state action using the VCA master fad-
ers alone.
• The mono input channels provide a 26 dB pad, HPF,
phase switch, four-band parametric EQ, and 100 mm
full stroke faders as well as DIRECT OUT jacks. Phan-
tom power is also provided, and can be switched on/
off individually.
• The M3000-40C features a center master design that
places the master section in the middle of the mixer
for superior operability.
• All input channels provide a PFL switch, and an AFL
switch is provided for MATRIX OUT 1–8/MIX OUT
1–16/STEREO A OUT/STEREO B OUT. This makes it
easy to check your input/output sources.
• Eight independent matrices are provided. The signals
from MIX OUT 1–16/STEREO A OUT and dedicated
input jacks can be mixed at the desired levels, and out-
put from MATRIX OUT jacks 1–8. This capability can
be used for foldback or as a mix for individual speak-
ers/amps.
• All mono input channels, stereo buses, and MIX buses
provide an INSERT I/O jack. External effect proces-
sors can be inserted as necessary.
• The talkback signal and test tone oscillators can be
sent to any of the MIX buses 1-2–13/16 or the stereo
buses.
• As monitor sources for the monitor output, you can
select (in addition to STEREO A OUT), PFL from the
input channels, AFL/PFL from MATRIX OUT 1–8/
MIX OUT 1–16/STEREO A OUT/STEREO B OUT, or
2TR IN 1/2.

position, an equal amount of signal will be sent to
both buses.
P
PRE
switches
These are pre-fader/post-fader switches for the signals
that are sent from the input channel to MIX buses 1–
16. Pre/post can be switched independently for each
group of MIX buses: 1–4, 5–8, 9–12, and 13–16. When
the switch is pressed ( ), the post-EG/pre-fader sig-
nal will be sent to the corresponding group of MIX
buses.
Note:
If these switches are off, no signal will be sent
to the corresponding MIX bus from this input
channel, regardless of the switch setting of the vari-
able/fixed select section (page 13).
Note:
For MIX bus pairs for which the variable/fix
select section (page 13) switch is set to FIX, the out-
put level which is sent from each input channel to
the bus will be fixed, and therefore the mix level
control setting will have no effect.

CHECK
indicators
The function of this switch and these indicators will
depend on the mode of the M3000.
●
In normal mode
The ON/EDIT switch will turn on the input channel.
When on, the ON indicator will light. Channels which
are turned off will send no signal to the ST bus or the
MIX buses. However even in this case, you can use the
PFL switch (
W
) to monitor the channel from the
MONITOR OUT jacks or the PHONE jack.
●
In check mode
In check mode (page 33), you can use the CHECK
indicators to view the on/off status of each channel
stored in a scene before you actually recall the scene.
This is convenient when you wish to verify the status
of each channel before you recall a scene.
In check mode, you can also use the ON/EDIT
switches to change only the lit/dark status of the
CHECK indicators. (The actual on/off setting will not
be affected.) Use this when you wish to maintain the
current mix settings, and store partially modified set-
tings as a scene.
T
PEAK/NOM/SIGNAL
indicators
Three indicators show the level of the input channel
signal after it passes through the EQ.
• PEAK indicator
This will light when the signal exceeds the nominal
level by 18 dB.
• NOM (nominal) indicator
This will light when the signal reaches nominal level
(0 dB).
• SIGNAL indicator
This will light when the signal reaches 10 dB below the
nominal level.

U VCA GROUP select switches
These switches select the VCA master fader(s) which
will control the signal output level of this channel.
When you select a VCA group 1–8, the indicator
located at the left of each switch will light, and the
corresponding VCA master fader (VCA master section
3) will control the channel. It is possible to select two
or more VCA groups for one input channel, or to con-
trol two or more input channels by the same VCA
group.
●Channels for which a VCA group is selected
The signal output level of the channel can be con-
trolled both by the corresponding VCA master
fader(s) and by the channel fader (V). The settings of
all corresponding VCA master faders are summed
with the setting of the channel fader to specify the sig-
nal output level of that channel.
●Channels for which a VCA group is not selected
The signal output level of the channel can be con-
trolled only by the channel fader (V).
V Channel fader
This fader adjusts the signal output level of the input
channel. This fader will affect the level of the signal
that is sent to the ST bus and to the MIX buses (if the
PRE switch is off). If one or more VCA groups are
selected by the VCA GROUP select switches (U), the
signal output level of that channel will also be affected
by the corresponding VCA master fader(s).
W PFL (pre-fader listen) switch
When this switch is on ( ), the pre-fader/post-EQ
signal of this input channel will be sent to the PFL
bus, allowing it to be monitored from the MONITOR
OUT jacks or the PHONES jack.
Note: For details on VCA functions, refer to

Stereo input channels
The M3000 provides four stereo input channels. Ste-
reo sound sources such as sub-mixers, effect proces-
sor, or CD players can be input to the INPUT A jacks
(XLR connectors) or INPUT B jacks (RCA phono
connectors) located on the rear panel.
A GAIN A control
This control adjusts the input sensitivity of the signal
that is input from the XLR connector INPUT A jack
(rear panel 4). The level range is +10~ –30 dB. When
the A/B select switch (3) is in the B position ( ),
this control will have no effect.
B GAIN B control
This control adjusts the input sensitivity of the signal
that is input from the RCA phono connector INPUT
B jack (rear panel 5). The level range is +10~ –20 dB.
When the A/B select switch (3) is in the A position
( ), this control will have no effect.
C A/B select switch
This switch selects the input jacks that the stereo input
channel will use. When the switch is in the upward
position ( ) the INPUT A jack can be used. When
the switch is in the downward position ( ) the
INPUT B jacks can be used.
D EQ controls
This is a four-band equalizer which allows ±15 dB of
boost/cut for each band. The HI-MID and LOW-MID
bands allow you to switch between two settings of Q
(steepness). The center frequency, Q values, and gain
range for each band is as follows.
E EQ switch
This switches the equalizer on/off. The equalizer is on
when the switch is pressed down ( ).
F M1–M8 switches
These switch on/off the signal which is sent from the
stereo input channel to MIX buses 1–8.

dB). M13 and M14, and M15 and M16 are stereo
pairs, and the output level of each pair is controlled by
one knob. Use the PRE switch (P) to switch between
pre/post fader.
L M13/M14, M15/M16 BAL (balance) controls
These controls set the left/right balance of the signals
that are sent from the stereo input channel to MIX
buses 13/14 or MIX buses 15/16.
M PRE switches
These are pre-fader/post-fader switches for the signals
that are sent from the stereo input channel to the MIX
buses. Pre/post can be switched independently for
each group of MIX buses: 1–4, 5–8, 9–12, and 13–16.
When the switch is pressed ( ), the pre-fader/post-
EQ signal will be sent to the corresponding group of
MIX buses.
Note: For MIX bus pairs for which the variable/fix
select section (page 13) switch is set to FIX, the out-
put level which is sent from each input channel to
the bus will be fixed, and therefore the mix level
control setting will have no effect.

N ST (stereo) switch
When this switch is on, the signal of the input channel
will be sent to the (ST) stereo bus.
O BAL (balance) control
This sets the left/right balance of the signal that is sent
from the input channel to the ST bus.
P ON/EDIT switch/ON, CHECK indicators
The function of this switch and these indicators will
depend on the mode of the M3000.
●In normal mode
The ON/EDIT switch will turn on the stereo input
channel. When on, the ON indicator will light. Chan-
nels which are turned off will send no signal to the ST
bus or the MIX buses. However even in this case, you
can use the PFL switch (T) to monitor the channel
from the MONITOR OUT jacks or the PHONE jack.
●In check mode
You can use the CHECK indicators to view the on/off
status of each channel stored in a scene before you
actually recall the scene. This is convenient when you
wish to verify the status of each channel before you
recall a scene.
In check mode, you can also use the ON/EDIT
switches to change only the lit/dark status of the
CHECK indicators. (The actual on/off setting will not
be affected.)
For details on Check mode, refer to page 33.
Q PEAK/NOM/SIGNAL indicators
Three indicators show the level of the stereo input
channel signal after it passes through the EQ.
• PEAK indicator
This will light when the sum of the L and R signals
exceeds the nominal level by 18 dB.
• NOM (nominal) indicator
This will light when the sum of the L and R signals
reaches nominal level (0 dB).
• SIGNAL indicator
This will light when the sum of the L and R signals
reaches 10 dB below the nominal level.
R VCA GROUP select switches
These switches select the VCA master fader(s) which
will control the signal output level of this stereo input
channel. When you select a VCA group 1–8, the indi-
cator located at the left of each switch will light, and
the corresponding VCA master fader (VCA master
section 3) will control the channel. It is possible to
select two or more VCA groups for one stereo input
channel, or to control two or more channels by the
same VCA group.
●Stereo input channels for which a VCA group is
selected
The signal output level of the channel can be con-
trolled both by the corresponding VCA master
fader(s) and by the channel fader (S).
●Stereo input channels for which a VCA group is
not selected
The signal output level of the stereo input channel can
be controlled only by the channel fader (S).
S Channel fader
This fader adjusts the signal output level of the stereo
input channel. This fader will affect the level of the
signal that is sent to the ST bus and to the MIX buses
(if the PRE switch is off). If one or more VCA groups
are selected by the VCA GROUP select switches (R),
the signal output level of that channel will also be
affected by the corresponding VCA master fader(s).
T PFL (pre-fader listen) switch
When this switch is on ( ), the pre-fader/post-EQ
signal of this stereo input channel will be sent to the
PFL bus, allowing it to be monitored from the MONI-
TOR OUT jacks or the PHONES jack.

Variable/fixed select section
The M3000’s GA (Group/Aux) diversity function
allows MIX buses 1–8 to function either as group
buses or as AUX buses. In this section, you can switch
each pair of MIX buses (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) between
functioning as group buses or as AUX buses.
A Variable/fixed select switches
These switches select whether the level of the signals
sent from the input channels to MIX buses 1–8 will be
fixed (FIX) or variable (VARIABLE). From top to bot-
tom, these switch MIX buses 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8.
●When FIX ( ) is selected
The corresponding pair of MIX buses (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/
8) will function as a group bus, and the signal of the
MIX (FIX) bus will be output to the corresponding
mix channel. In this case, the settings of the mix level
controls M1–M8 (mono input channels J, stereo
input channels 7) will have no effect.
●When VARIABLE ( ) is selected
The corresponding pair of MIX buses (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/
8) will function as an AUX bus, and the signal of the
MIX (VARIABLE) bus will be output to the corre-
sponding mix channel. In this case, the mix level con-
trols M1–M8 (mono input channels J, stereo input
channels 7) will take effect just as they are set.

Mix section
These output channels control the signals of MIX
buses 1–16. MIX buses 13/14 and 15/16 are controlled
as stereo pairs respectively. The signal that passes
through these output channels is output individually
from the MIX OUT 1–16 jacks (page 27), and can also
be sent to the MAS AFL bus, MAS PFL bus, ST bus,
and the matrix.
A TO MATRIX switches
When these switches are on ( ), the signal of the
corresponding MIX OUT will be sent to the matrix.
B PAN controls/BAL controls
These controls specify the pan (MIX OUT 1–12) or
left/right balance (MIX OUT 13–16) when the MIX
OUT signal is sent to the ST bus.
C TO STEREO switches
When these switches are on ( ), the signal of the
corresponding MIX OUT will be sent to the ST bus.
D ON/EDIT switches
The function of these switches and indicators will
depend on the mode of the M3000.
●In normal mode
The ON/EDIT switches will turn each MIX OUT on/
off. When on, the ON indicator will light. MIX OUTs
which are turned off will send no signal to the MIX
OUT 1–16 jacks, the MAS AFL bus, the ST bus or the
matrix. However even in this case, you can turn on the
AFL switch (6) to monitor the pre-fader signal from
the MONITOR OUT jacks or the PHONE jack.
●In check mode
You can use the CHECK indicators to view the on/off
status of each MIX OUT stored in a scene before you
actually recall the scene.
In check mode, you can also use the ON/EDIT
switches to change only the lit/dark status of the
CHECK indicators. (The actual on/off setting will not
be affected.)
For details on check mode, refer to page 33.
E Mix master faders
These faders adjust the output level of MIX OUT 1–
16. These faders affect the signal which is sent to the
MIX OUT 1–16 jacks, the MAS AFL bus, the ST bus,
and the matrix.
F AFL (after fader listen) switches
These switches allow the signals from MIX OUT to be
monitored from the MONITOR OUT jacks or
PHONES jack. When these switches are on ( ), the
pre-fader signal of the corresponding MIX bus will be
sent to the MAS PFL bus, and the post-fader signal
will be sent to the MAS AFL bus, allowing you to
monitor from the MONITOR OUT jacks or the
PHONES jacks. The signal of the MAS AFL bus can be
monitored when the MASTER PFL switch (page 19)
of the monitor section is off, and the signal of the
MAS PFL bus can be monitored when this switch is
on. However while even one of the PFL switches of the
input channels is on, the signal of the PFL bus will
take precedence, meaning that it will not be possible
to monitor MIX OUT.

VCA master fader section
The VCA master fader section allows the gain of input channels assigned to a VCA group to
be controlled as a whole by the corresponding VCA fader. The VCA group(s) to which each
input channel is assigned is specified by the VCA GROUP select switches (mono input
channels (U), stereo input channels R).
A VCA MUTE switches
When these switches are turned on (the indicator at
left will light), the VCA master fader (3) will be shut
down completely. At this time, the post-fader signal of
all input channels assigned to the corresponding VCA
group will be muted.
B NOMINAL indicators
These indicators will light when the corresponding
VCA master fader is in the nominal (0 dB) position.
In this position, the VCA master fader will not affect
the gain.
C VCA master faders
These faders control the gain of the input channels
assigned to the corresponding VCA group. If you wish
to use the VCA master faders, make sure that the rear
panel VCA MASTER/SLAVE select switch (page 28) is
set to the MASTER position.
STEREO A section
This section controls the signal that is output from the
rear panel ST OUT jacks (page 28). The signal level
which is sent from ST OUT A to the matrix is also
controlled by this section.

A TO MATRIX switch
When this switch is on ( ), the ST OUT A post-
fader signal is sent to the matrix.
B ON/EDIT switch
The function of this switch and indicator will depend
on the mode of the M3000.
●In normal mode
The ON/EDIT switch will turn ST OUT A on/off.
When on, the ON indicator will light. When off, no
signal will be sent to the ST OUT A jacks, MONITOR
OUT jacks, PHONES jack, MAS AFL bus, or the
matrix. However even in this case, you can turn on the
AFL switch (3) to monitor the pre-fader signal from
the MONITOR OUT jacks or the PHONE jack.
●In check mode
You can use the CHECK indicator to view the on/off
status of ST OUT A stored in a scene before you actu-
ally recall the scene.
In check mode, you can also use the ON/EDIT switch
to change only the lit/dark status of the CHECK indi-
cator. (The actual on/off setting will not be affected.)
C AFL switch
This switch allows the ST OUT A signal which is sent
to the ST OUT A jacks or to the matrix to be moni-
tored from the MONITOR OUT jacks or from the
PHONES jack. When this switch is on ( ), the pre-
fader signal will be sent to the MAS PFL bus and the
post-fader signal will be sent to the MAS AFL bus,
allowing you to monitor them from the MONITOR
OUT jacks or the PHONES jack.
When the master section MASTER PFL switch
(page 19) is off you can monitor the signal of the MAS
AFL bus, and when it is on you can monitor the signal
of the MAS PFL bus. However if even one of the PFL
switches of the input channels is turned on, the signal
of the PFL bus will take priority for monitoring, and it
will not be possible to monitor ST OUT A.
D ST (stereo) fader
This fader adjusts the final output level of ST OUT A.
This fader affects the level of the signal which is sent
to the ST OUT A jacks, the MONITOR OUT jacks,
the PHONES jack, the MAS AFL bus, and the matrix.

signal which is output from the ST OUT A jacks.
When the control is in the “▲” position the level is
nominal (0 dB).
B ON switch
This is an on/off switch for the signal which is output
from the ST OUT B jacks. It does not affect the signal
which is output from the ST OUT A jacks. When this
switch is turned off, the indicator will go dark, and no
signal will be output from the ST OUT B jacks. How-
ever even in this case, the signal sourced before pass-
ing through the LEVEL control can be monitored
from the MONITOR OUT jacks or the PHONES jack
by turning on the AFL switch (3).
C AFL switch
This switch allows the signal which is sent from the ST
OUT B jacks to be monitored from the MONITOR
OUT jacks or PHONES jack. When this switch is on
( ) the signal before passing through the LEVEL
control will be sent to the MAS PFL bus and the signal
after passing through the LEVEL control will be sent
to the MAS AFL bus, and can be monitored from the
MONITOR OUT jacks or the PHONES jack.
If the master section MASTER PFL switch (page 19) is
off, the MAS AFL bus signal can be monitored. If this
switch is on, the MAS PFL bus signal will be moni-
tored. However if even one of the input channel PFL
switches are on, the PFL bus signal will take priority
for monitoring, and ST OUT B cannot be monitored.
