14.Power Switch – to turn unit on.

15.Power Supply Input - to plug your power adapter in before switching on power.

16.Balanced Zone 2 Outputs - are 1/4" Stereo Balanced TRS 1/4” connectors controlled by the Zone 2 fader knob. Power transformers and other devices that cause magnetic fields can induce hum in audio cables. This can be best resolved by using balanced lines where inputs and outputs permit. Balanced lines are also the most effective means of reducing or eliminating RF or radio frequency" interference.

17.Balanced Zone 1 Outputs - are Balanced Stereo XLR connectors controlled by the Zone 1 fader knob.

18.Master Gain Reduction – to set optimal output level of the balanced outputs to be set at .245V to 2.5V to match the optimal inputs of amplifiers and other devices.

19.Unbalanced Zone Outputs –output controlled by the Zone fader knobs.

20.Record Output – collective of output sent to either zone.

21.Unbalanced Line Inputs - to connect stereo audio from HiFi VCRs, cassette and reel-to-reel tape decks, DAT machines, CD players, laser discs, tuners, even synthesizers or other mixing consoles.

Note: Line 3 can receive a turntable input depending phono/line switch position.

22.Phono/Line switch – select the appropriate position for your input device. With phono selected the input signal is fed directly to the high-quality RIAA phono pre-amplifiers so use this input only for turntables. Line level sources will overload the sensitive phono pre-amps. Switch this over to the Line position for line devices such as CD players and Tape decks.

23.Ground lug - use these connections with your turntables’ grounding cable to avoid signal hum.

24.Neutrik™ “Combo” connector - allows connection of either a 1/4” jack or an XLR jack to connect balanced line or mic inputs depending upon switch position.

25.Mic/Line switch – to allow inputs of either balanced line input or microphone into the referenced XLR jacks.

26.Stereo/Mono Switch - allows the user to adjust the signal input for stereo or mono input accordingly.

27.Auto-Talkover Control – sets the front panel mic to automatically reduce other source level when the mic is spoken into. Positions are available for either off, -12dB, and – 40dB (complete reduction)

28.Talkover sensitivity adjust – determines the point in which auto-talkover activates. The more sensitive the adjustment, the quieter you need to speak into your microphone to activate auto- talkover.
