Precautions
On safety
• Check that the voltage selector on the rear panel is set to
the local power line voltage. If not, set the selector to the
correct position using a screwdriver before connecting
the AC power cord to a wall outlet.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used
for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord,
pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
For areas other than US or Canada
• This set includes 2 types of AC power cords.
Please select the one that is suitable for the region that
you are living in.
On installation
Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such
as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
On operation
• Before making program source connections, be sure to
turn the power switch off and unplug the unit.
• When the unit is not used, turn the power off to conserve
energy and to extend the useful life of your unit.
On cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such
as alcohol or benzine.
On repacking
Do not throw away the carton and the packing material. It
makes an ideal container for transport the unit in.
When shipping the unit for repair work or to another
location, repack it as it was.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
unit, please contact your nearest Sony dealer.
Features
The SRP-X100 is a 1U audio mixer having a
6 channel monaural input, and 3 channel
stereo input.
This mixer is ideal as a public address (PA) mixer in small-
scale halls such as civic and banquet halls, and in schools,
AV systems in offices, etc.
6 channel Monaural Inputs
A 6 channel monaural input (XLR jack) for microphone
level inputs is provided.
Supplies power (+48V DC) to condensor microphones
with just one setting.
Input level selector buttons (for 3 - 6 channels) on rear
panel can also be used for stereo input (+4dBu) at line
level.
3 channel Stereo Inputs
Phono jack stereo inputs (–10dBu) for 3 channels are
provided.
A dedicated input connector (ST3) for recorders is
provided to prevent self-oscillation due to feedback from
its own signal.
The REC bus is isolated to prevent self-oscillation due to
feedback from the original signal.
Plentiful Output connectors
Compatible with many systems thanks to Plentiful outputs
including MASTER OUTPUT, SUB OUTPUT and REC
OUTPUT.
All Channels are equipment with Signal
Indicators and the MASTER OUTPUT is
equipment a Peak Indicator.
Easy Mounting into 19"EIA Standard Rack.

Location and Function of Parts
Location and Function of Parts
Front Panel
APOWER button & Power Indicator
This turns the power to the unit on and off. Power indicator
lights up (green) when power is on.
BMONO INPUT knobs
Use to adjust the mixing level on MONO INPUT channels
1 - 6.
CSTEREO INPUT knobs
Use to adjust the mixing level on STEREO INPUT
channels 1 - 3.
The ST3 audio is output from REC OUTPUT connectors.
Therefore no signal loop occurs and sounds can be safely
recorded even if the ST3 INPUT knob is still set high
during recording. (See illustration.)
DMODE button
Selects how to use the MASTER OUTPUT.
At MONO (R) issues a monaural output, at STEREO (r)
issues a stereo output.
EMASTER OUTPUT knob
Use this knob to adjust the output level at the MASTER
OUTPUT connectors.
FSUB OUTPUT knob
Use this knob to adjust the output level at the SUB
OUTPUT connectors.
GSIGNAL indicators
This indicator lights up when input with a signal ranging
from standard input level to more than –20dB.
H+48V indicator
This indicator lights up when power (+48V DC) is
supplied to the MONO INPUT connectors.
IPEAK indicator
Warns that the output signal is too high.
The INPUT knob must be adjusted when this indicator
keeps lighting up. (If indicator lights up only occasionally
then there is no problem.)

These are input jacks for the STEREO INPUT channel.
ST1, 2 are usually only for playback equipment. ST3 is
connected to a recording equipment wired to the REC
OUTPUT connector of this unit (SRP-X100).
FMONO INPUT connectors
XLR-3-31 type. (balanced, reference input level LINE:
+4dBu, MIC: –60dBu)
No.1 pin: GND No.2 pin: HOT No.3 pin: COLD
This is an input connector for the MONO INPUT channel.
MONO 1/2 are for microphones but MONO 3 - 6 connect
to either microphones or line level devices.
Set the input level selector button to LINE position (R)
when a line level output device is connected to MONO
3 - 6.
The LCF for Fc=100Hz functions when setting the mic
level.
GINPUT LEVEL Selector buttons
These buttons switch the MONO INPUT 3 - 4, MONO
INPUT 5 - 6 input levels according to the connected
equipment.
When these buttons is set to LINE (R) to a line level
(+4dBu) input and automatically assigns Ch. 3, 5 to the L
channel, and Ch. 4, 6 to the R channel.
H+48V button
This button supplies power (+48V DC) for the condensor
microphone to MONO INPUT connectors 1 - 6.
Setting this button to ON (R), supplies +48V DC to the
MONO INPUT connectors that is set to mic level.
Note
Before removing cables, or using the +48V button, always
be sure to turn the MONO INPUT button all the way down.

12 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Power will not turned on. Has AC power cord been pulled out?
No sound. • Is INPUT knob set to MIN?
• Is OUTPUT knob set to – ∞?
No sound from microphone. Was INPUT LEVEL Selector button mistakenly set to LINE (instead of MIC)
for microphones connected to MONO 3 - 6. (page 8)
• No microphone audio from MASTER
OUTPUT.
• No audio from equipment connected to line
level -stereo system from SUB OUTPUT.
Was SEPARATE button set to ON (R)? (page 8)
No ST3 input audio from REC OUTPUT. Signal from ST3 does not output to REC OUTPUT. (page 7)
Audio does not sound like stereo. Is the MODE button set to STEREO? (page 7)
Sound is distorted. • Is PEAK indicator lighting up? (page 7)
• Was INPUT LEVEL Selector button set to MIC (instead of LINE) for line
equipment connected to MONO 3 - 6? (page 8)
