used to connect to a P.A. mixer or an amplifier for live performances or a
recording console for recording.

to a home stereo or to another mixer with RCA inputs for practicing or team
routines. Several SA-5’s, can be daisy chained from this output via the
session input (25).

additional boost or cut is needed.

be used to record to a computer, CD, MD, & tape recorder, even while the

to control the sensitivity of the gain faders.

eliminate electrical hum. Ground cables usually supplied with turntables.
Some newer turntables such as the Stanton STR8-150 do not require a
ground cable because they are grounded internally.

fader (1) when the Session/Mic switch (27) is switched to session (the up
position). It can be used as an extra line input or as a session input for
