2.1 Stereo channels 1 and 2

The TRIM control in the CHANNEL section is used to adjust the level of the input signal.

Each of the two input channels has a 3-band equalizer (HI, MID and LOW) with kill characteristic. Thus, the signal can be lowered to a much greater extent (-32 dB) than it can be raised (+12 dB). This function can be very useful when, for example, fading a frequency range out of a music track.

+The total level also depends on the EQ setting. Thus, you should adjust the equalizer before regulating the level with the TRIM control.

Adjust the channel volume with the CHANNEL fader.

+Never connect devices with line level to the highly sensitive phono inputs! The output level of phono pick-up systems is measured in millivolts, whereas CD players and tape decks have levels measured in volts, i.e. the level from line signals is up to 100 times higher than that of the phono inputs.

You select the input signals with the INPUT SELECTOR switch (PHONO/CD). “Phono” is for connecting a turntable. “Line” must be selected for all other signal sources (e.g. CD or MD players). A special feature allows you to switch the input sensitivity of the phono input to

line-level, giving the phono connector flexibility (see ).

This is the AUTO BPM COUNTER DISPLAY (see Chapter 2.8).

The SYNC LOCK button is also a part of the AUTO BPM COUNTER (see Chapter 2.8).

2.2 Microphone channel

Select the volume of the microphone signal with the TRIM control in the MIC section.

There is a 2-band equalizer (HI and LOW, no kill characteristic) in the microphone section. This allows you to change your voice to adapt perfectly to your sound.

2.3 MONITOR section

The MONITOR signal is your headphones signal, allowing you to listen to music without affecting the MASTER output signal.

The MONITOR Level control determines the volume of the headphones signal.

With the MONITOR SELECTOR button you select the signal to be routed to your headphones. You can choose from signals from channel 1, channel 2 or the MASTER signal. It is also possible to select two signal sources and listen to them simultaneously. That could either be the two input channels (CH-1 and CH-2 pressed) or one input signal and the MASTER signal (CH-1 or CH-2 and MASTER pressed). All three signals, however, cannot be simultaneously routed to the headphones; if this were to
