MIC / LINE CHANNEL
MICROPHONE INPUT CONNECTOR
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.

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.

CHANNEL PEAK LED
