Features
Your RadioShack Stereo Sound Mixer is
a sophisticated control center, perfect
for mixing sound from up to seven audio
input sources (such as a microphone,
tuners, CD players, turntables, or the
audio outputs from VCRs or camcorders). It is ruggedly constructed for home
or professional use. Its wide-range volume controls let you adjust sound levels
to achieve the right mix for playing
through your speaker system or for recording. The mixer's many features give
you almost limitless sound combinations. Its features include:
Stereo Line Inputs — let you connect
most high-level audio sources such as a
CD player, tape deck, tuner, a VCR's or
camcorder's audio, and up to two magnetic cartridge turntables.
Low-Noise Tape Out Jack — give you
high-quality tape recording.
Slide Volume Controls — give you fingertip control of sound mixing and fading.
Fader Control — lets you quickly and
smoothly switch between two playing input sources, such as a turntable and a
microphone.
Monitor Control — lets you monitor the
line inputs using headphones so you
can adjust them before mixing them in.
Multiple Microphone Jacks with Stereo/Mono Switch — let you connect
three microphones at the same time , in-
cluding one for a DJ (disc jockey), and
select stereo or mono input for each
one.
Bass/Treble Boost Cont rols — let you
adjust the bass and treble of the primary
microphone (MIC 1) to improve the DJ's
sound.
To get the best performance from your
stereo sound mixer, please read this
manual fully and carefully before you
connect it to other audio components.
