Note: The MASTER volume control adjusts the overall volume of DJ MIC, CH1, CH2, and CH3.

The mixer uses two volume unit (VU) meters to indicate the total stereo out- put signal level. For the best results, each input signal level should normal- ly be set so the VU meters never move into the red range (0 or above). Distortion is likely to occur on audio peaks if the meter moves into the red range.

For monaural output, set MONO/STE- REO to MONO. For stereo output, set

MONO/STEREO to STEREO.
