HEADPHONES OUTPUTS
Stereo 1/4” TRS jack and 3.5mm mini-jack. Plug in good quality stereo headphones intended for
DJ monitoring. Use closed-ear headphones that provide maximum acoustic isolation when
cueing your sources. We recommend that you use high quality headphones rated between 30
to 100 ohms impedance. 8 ohm headphones are not recommended.
1
MIC EQ CONTROLS
The MIC equaliser provides a tool to adjust the tonal quality of the sound to correct source
problems such as microphone response, proximity effect, noise and feedback, to help the voice
cut through the mix, or to adjust the overall ‘feel’. Start with the EQ controls set to their mid
(flat) position, then adjust to achieve the desired sound.
2
MIC INPUT
Balanced XLR. Plug in a DJ, guest or announcement microphone here. Use a good quality low
impedance dynamic mic such as those specifically designed for vocals. Do not use high
impedance or unbalanced microphones, or condenser types which require phantom power. Use
the best professional grade balanced cables and connectors you can afford, as these are typically
subject to intense use and abuse in the club environment.
3
MIC LEVEL CONTROL
Adjusts the input sensitivity of the Mic channel to match the connected source to the
console’s 0dB operating level.
When the Mic channel is not in use, always turn the level control fully anti-clockwise to prevent
unwanted noise from this sensitive input entering the main Mix.
