CONNECTIONS

1. This unit comes supplied with a 15 volt AC adaptor. Plug the male pin of the adaptor into the rear panel POWER JACK (17). Then plug the adaptor into a proper power source.

2. Make sure that the POWER (13) switch is in the off position. The POWER LED (12) will be off.

3. To connect the mixer to your amplifier, use the OUTPUT AMP (18) jacks on the rear panel.

4. The unit is equipped with one microphone input. The MIC JACK (4) is a 1/4" (6.35 mm) and is located on the front panel.

5. On the rear panel are 2 stereo PHONO (20, 22) inputs and 2 stereo LINE (19, 21) inputs. The PHONO (20, 22) inputs will accept turntable inputs only. A GROUND (23) screw for you to ground your turntables is located on the rear panel. The stereo LINE (19, 21) inputs will accept any line level input like a CD player or a cassette player.

6. Headphones can be plugged into the front panel mounted HEADPHONE (16) jack.

4. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (9) allows the mixing of one source into another. The left side of the CROSSFADER (9) is channel 1 and the right side is channel 2.

5. OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION: The level of the AMP OUT (18) is controlled by the MASTER (14) control.

6. TALKOVER SECTION: The purpose of the talkover section is to allow the program playing to be muted so that the mic can be heard above the music. The MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (1) has three settings. When the MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (1) is in the bottom position, the mic and talkover are both off. When the MIC/

TALKOVER SWITCH (1) is in the center position the mic is on, the MIC INDICATOR (2) will glow, but talkover is off. When the MIC/ TALKOVER SWITCH (1) is in the top position, the mic and talkover

will be on and the volume of all sources except the Mic input are lowered by 16 dB. The MIC LEVEL CONTROL (3) controls the microphone volume.

7. CUE SECTION: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONE (16) jack, you can monitor either channel 1 or channel

2. Select Channel 1 by moving the CUE SWITCH (8) to the left or Channel 2 by moving the CUE SWITCH (8) to the right. Use the CUE LEVEL (15) control to adjust the headphone volume without effecting the overall mix.

8. DISPLAY: The DISPLAY (7) indicates the MASTER (18) output.
