DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
1. Gain control: Controls the input sensitivity of each channel.
2. Input selector switches: Selects phono or line inputs.
3. Master level control: Controls the overall signal output level.
4. Mic gain control: Controls the overall microphone output level.
5. Channel fader: Controls the input channel level.
6. Crossfader Reverse LED: Bi-color LED indicates the status of the crossfader reverse
function. When LED is green, the crossfader is normal. When LED is red, the crossfad-
er direction is reversed.
7. Crossfader: Fades the master output between channels 1 and 2.
8. Power switch: Selects power "ON" or "OFF".
9. Cue pan: Fades the headphone output between channels 1 and 2, effectively allowing
the user to preview a mix.
10. Headphone level control: Controls the overall headphone output level. It is recom-
mended headphones with an impedance rating of 200 ohms or less be used for maxi-
mum volume.
11. Input Level Meter: Monitors each channel’s input level.
12. Microphone input: 1/4” connector
13. Crossfader Curve adjustment: Adjusts the shape of the crossfader curve from a quick
cut for scratching and cutting to a longer fade for mixing.
14. Crossfader Reverse: Reverses the direction of the crossfader. Bi-color LED indicates
the status of the crossfader reverse function. When LED is green, the crossfader is
normal. When LED is red, the crossfader direction is reversed.
15. Headphone Mute: Mutes the headphone signal output
16. Headphone output: Connection for 1/4 inch headphone. Recommended headphone
impedance is 32-200 ohms for maximum volume.
17. Power supply connector: Input connection for the accompanying power supply.
18. Master output: TRS balanced (1/4”).
19. Master output: unbalanced RCA connector
20. REC output: record output connects directly to recording source (tape deck, CD...)
21/22. Channel inputs: Line and phono signal inputs. Line inputs are used to connect
to line level sources such as CD players, samplers, tape players, etc. Phono
inputs are used to connect to turntables.
23. Ground connector: Connects to the turntable ground connector to eliminate electri-
cal hum. Ground connectors usually supplied with turntables.
