1. MIC Input 5. GND Terminal

d.2

This is a Neutrik “combo” input connector that accepts either a balanced male XLR connector or a 1/4" balanced or unbalanced connector. Professional mics usually have XLR connectors, while consumer or semi- pro mics often have 1/4" connectors.

The mic input signal is routed through the mic input section, mic EQ, and then to the main mix bus.

These terminals are provided to connect a ground wire from your turntable(s) to the d.2 Pro. Most turn- tables provide a ground wire to connect to the preamp for the purpose of eliminating “hum” in the audio signal. Simply turn the ground terminal on the d.2 Pro counterclockwise to loosen it, wrap the end of the ground wire clockwise around the terminal, and hand-tighten the ground terminal for a secure ground connection.

2. CD Inputs

These RCA jacks accept a stereo line-level signal from a CD player or other line-level playback device, such as an MP3 player.

3. LINE/PHONO Inputs

These RCA jacks accept a stereo phono-level signal from a turntable (when the line/phono [4] switch is pushed in), or from a line-level playback device such as a CD player or MP3 player (when the line/phono switch is out). Check that your turntable has a phono-level output and a moving-magnet cartridge.

4. LINE/PHONO Switch

If you connect a turntable with phono-level outputs to the line/phono inputs [3], push this switch in to select the phono-level input stage, which includes an RIAA preamp for proper re-equalization of the incoming phono signal.

	If you are connecting a line-level playback device like
	a CD or MP3 player, leave this switch out to select the
	line-level preamp.
	Do not press it in if you have a line-level
	signal connected.

6. Stereo FX SEND

These 1/4" TRS jacks provide a balanced line-level output signal from the stereo FX Send bus. Use these to connect to the inputs of an external effects processor. You can also use an unbalanced 1/4" TS connector.

7. Stereo FX RETURN

These 1/4" TRS jacks accept a balanced line-level signal from an external effects processor. They will also accept an unbalanced 1/4" TS connector.

If you are using a stereo effects processor, connect its left and right outputs to the corresponding left and right FX return jacks. If it is a mono effects processor, connect its output signal to the left FX return jack, and it will appear on both the left and right main mix bus.

8. BOOTH Outputs

These 1/4" TRS jacks provide a balanced line-level signal from the main mix bus, prior to the rotary main level control [32]. Use these to connect to a pair of powered monitor speakers (or to the inputs of an amplifier powering the monitor speakers in the booth). If you only have one monitor speaker, just use one of the booth outputs and push in the booth stereo/mono switch [34] in the control section on the top panel.
