2.The MM-01has 2 Main RCA compatible outputs, MASTER (2) and RECORD (3). Use the RCA to connect the MASTER (2) output jacks to the main amplifier. The RECORD (3) output jacks can be used to connect the mixer to the record input of your recording unit, thus enabling you to record your mix.

3.Located on the rear panel are 2 Phono/Line convert- ible RCA inputs (8,9), and 5 line RCA inputs (12, 13, 11, 10, 4). The convertible RCA inputs (8, 9) for Channels (CH) 2(28) & 3(31) allow Phono (PH) and Line (LN) level equipment to be connected to the mixer. To adjust the converter(s) (6, 7), just flip the switch(es) up to operate PH 1 or PH 2.

Flip the switch(es) down to operate through LN 2 or LN

4. The PH INPUTS only accept turntables with a magnet- ic cartridge. When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the RCA cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the GROUNDING SCREW (5) located in the rear panel of the MM-01mixer. This is located in between the CONVERTER SWITCHES (6,7). The STEREO LN INPUTS only accept line level inputs such as a CD, DAT, MiniDisc, etc.

NOTE: Not attaching a ground may cause a system "hum."
