2.1 Stereo channels 1 and 2
The TRIM control in the CHANNEL section is used to adjust
the level of the input signal.
Each of the two input channels has a 3-band equalizer
(HI, MID and LOW) with kill characteristic. Thus, the signal
can be lowered to a much greater extent (-32 dB) than it
can be raised (+12 dB). This function can be very useful
when, for example, fading a frequency range out of a
music track.
+
The total level also depends on the EQ setting.
Thus, you should adjust the equalizer before
regulating the level with the TRIM control.
Adjust the channel volume with the CHANNEL fader.
+
Never connect devices with line level to the highly
sensitive phono inputs! The output level of phono
pick-up systems is measured in millivolts,
whereas CD players and tape decks have levels
measured in volts, i.e. the level from line signals
is up to 100 times higher than that of the phono
inputs.
You select the input signals with the INPUT SELECTOR
switch (PHONO/CD). “Phono” is for connecting a
turntable. “Line” must be selected for all other signal
sources (e.g. CD or MD players). A special feature allows
you to switch the input sensitivity of the phono input to
line-level, giving the phono connector flexibility (see ).
This is the AUTO BPM COUNTER DISPLAY (see Chapter
2.8).
The SYNC LOCK button is also a part of the AUTO BPM
COUNTER (see Chapter 2.8).
2.2 Microphone channel
Select the volume of the microphone signal with the TRIM
control in the MIC section.
There is a 2-band equalizer (HI and LOW, no kill
characteristic) in the microphone section. This allows you
to change your voice to adapt perfectly to your sound.
2.3 MONITOR section
The MONITOR signal is your headphones signal, allowing you
to listen to music without affecting the MASTER output signal.
The MONITOR Level control determines the volume of
the headphones signal.
With the MONITOR SELECTOR button you select the
signal to be routed to your headphones. You can choose
from signals from channel 1, channel 2 or the MASTER
signal. It is also possible to select two signal sources and
listen to them simultaneously. That could either be the two
input channels (CH-1 and CH-2 pressed) or one input
signal and the MASTER signal (CH-1 or CH-2 and MASTER
pressed). All three signals, however, cannot be
simultaneously routed to the headphones; if this were to
