The MIC INPUT is the balanced XLR connector for your dynamic microphone.
The GAIN control is used to line up the input signal of each channel.

Each input channel has a 3-band equalizer (HIGH, 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 GAIN control.

The MIC/LINE–PHONOswitch allows you to choose between the microphone signal and the line or phono signal on channel 1. The position of the rear panel PHONO/

LINE switch (see ) determines whether the input is switched to the phono or the line level setting of the right- hand switch position.

On channels 2 and 3 you determine the input signals with the PHONO/LINE switch. “Phono” is intended for connecting a turntable. “Line” must be selected for all other signal sources (e. g. CD or MD players).

+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.
