oSignal ground (SIGNAL GND) connector

Use a commercially available PVC-covered cord to connect this connector to the signal ground. Note that this is NOT an electrical safety ground (earth).

pGround lift (GND LIFT) switch

Even when the ground connector is used to ground the unit, this ground connection can be interrupted (ground lift) by setting the GND LIFT switch to the left.

jST 2/AUX switch

Set this to ST 2 to send the input signals directly to the ST 2/AUX buss after being adjusted by the ST 2/AUX knobs. Since this has no effect on the signals sent to the ST 1 buss, this unit can be used as mixer with two independent stereo busses.

Set this to AUX to send the signals to the ST 2/AUX buss after being adjusted by the ST 1 and then the ST 2/ AUX knobs. Set this way, ST 1 can be used as the main buss and ST 2/AUX can be used as an AUX send.
