OUTPUTS

7.Master Fader – to control the overall output level.

8.Stereo/Mono toggle - adjusts the Master output for stereo or mono operation.

9.Volume Meter- quickly and accurately tracks dB level of audio sent to it from the master fader. It's OK to "tap the red" as long as the red LEDs aren't constantly lit. Set the equalizer and master fader to avoid overload and distortion. Proper attention to the meter results in the punchiest possible sound without audible distortion.

HEADPHONE CUEING

10.Channel Cue/Send Assign - are used to route PFL channel audio to the Monitor Section. The channel faders do not control the Cue send volume. This audio is also sent to a rear panel output for use with an external sampler or other source such as booth monitor.

11.Headphone Mix - controls the mix of PFL and PGM signals to your headphones. When the slider is moved to the left, all you will hear is the cue source. When the slider is all the way right, you will hear what is playing through the master output. By blending, beats can be matched exactly and segues can be smooth when a song is cued.

12.Headphone Level – to adjust cue volume.

13.Headphone Input – for your 1/4” headphone.

14.Power Button – turns unit off and on.

15.Line Inputs – are unbalanced RCA jacks for connecting stereo audio from line level sources such as CD players, HiFi VCRs, cassette and reel-to-reel tape decks, DAT machines, laser discs, tuners, even synthesizers or other mixing consoles.

N O T E : Plug mono audio sources into both Left and Right inputs using a "Y" cable connector.

16.Phono Inputs – for attaching your turntables. When these connectors are used, your signal is fed directly to the high-quality RIAA phono pre-amplifiers. Use this position only for turntables. Line level sources will overload the sensitive phono pre-amps and will cause distortion.

17.Grounding lug - for turntable connection. Always use this connection when using turntables. (your turntable cable should have a grounding wire)

18.Line/Phono Input switch - to allow line level equipment to be plugged into your phono inputs giving you a total of 8 line input options.

19.Mic Input – for your 1/4” Microphone plug.

20.Record Outputs – are unbalanced RCA jacks used to send the output of the program to any connected recording device.

21.Stereo Main Outputs – are unbalanced RCA connectors controlled by the Master fader.

22.IEC Power Connector – to plug in your power cord.

23.Voltage Selector – to set to your country’s standard.
