RECORD SELECTOR
Selects between the program source (selected via the INPUT
SELECTOR), and either of two tape monitor inputs (selected via the
MONITOR SELECTOR).
In the DEFEAT position, the tape outputs are disconnected.
In the INPUT position, the tape outputs are connected while still
monitoring the selected source.
In the MONITOR position, the selected tape machine can be
monitored without affecting the signal at the tape outputs.
Note: Because of the switching arrangement employed in
the Nº26, we recommend that while making a critical
recording you don't operate the RECORD SELECTOR switch.
If you wish to monitor the signal from tape, set the RECORD
SELECTOR to MONITOR and use your tape machine's monitor
switch to switch between input and tape.

°
In the 0
°
position, the signal at the main outputs is in phase with the
input signal. In the 180
°
position, the output signal is inverted 180
degrees. This allows you to optimize your system's sonic
performance based on recording/mastering processes used for a
specific program.
The 0
°
/180
°
switch doesn't affect the tape outputs.

MONITOR SELECTOR

between the TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 inputs.
4
INPUT SELECTOR
Selects one of the six inputs: CD, TUNER, AUX 1, PHONO/AUX 2
(depending on the installed option), TAPE 1, or TAPE 2.
