Microphone inputs shall be on XLR- type connectors, monophonic line inputs shall be on bal- anced 1/4′′ Tip-Ring-Sleeve phone connectors, and stereo line inputs shall be on 1/4′′ phone connectors. An indepen- dent stereo line-level CD/tape input (routed to channels 8-

9) shall be on phono connectors. Each channel shall have 2

Aux sends, 2-band equalization and a level control. In addi-

tion, monophonic channels shall have a stereo panpot and

stereo channels shall have a left/right balance control.

Microphone inputs (on channels 1-6) shall have an input

trim control.

The mixer shall provide main outputs on balanced
