3. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTIONS

The various control elements of your BCD3000 are described in this chapter. All controls and connections are explained in detail, and
there are several useful tips on their use.

The microphone input section (MIC INPUT)
Set the volume of the microphone signal with the MIC LEVEL
control.
The CLIP LED illuminates as soon as the microphone signal
level is too high and could possibly cause audible distortion.
If this happens, slightly turn the MIC LEVEL control counter-

The microphone input section has a 2-band equalizer (EQ
HIGH for high frequencies and EQ LOW for low
frequencies).
Select the input source with the buttons EXT IN A / EXT IN

analog input signal of the BCD3000 is passed on to the
corresponding deck in the TRAKTOR software. On Deck
