9. Inputs and Outputs

CH-1, CH-2 and CH-3 Phono/Line Stereo Inputs
Each channel has a selectable phono level input (phonograph level/line level) and a line level input. The
line level input is used to connect CD players and other line level devices. When connecting a turntable to
the phono input, the switch must be set to "PHONO" instead of "AUX." When this switch is set to "AUX"
you can connect a line level device to the mixer (CD player, etc.) Please note that many turntables need
to be grounded to the mixer with a ground wire to prevent hum and excessive noise (see "GND.") It is
also recommended that the mixer be turned off before connecting and disconnecting any sources to the
inputs of the mixer.
"Effects" (Stereo Send Output/Stereo Return Input)
The RCA "Send" output will send a stereo Post Fader Level Signal (a signal that is effected by the
Equalizer) to the "Input" of an external effects processor (not included.) The RCA "Return" output is for
receiving a processed stereo signal from the connected external effects processor. These outputs are to be
used in conjunction with the "Process" and "Process Blend Controls" (See Section 8 "Effects Processing
Controls.")
"PFL Presend" (Stereo Pre Fade Level Output)
The RCA "PFL Presend" output will send a stereo Pre Fader Level Signal (a signal that is unaffected by the
Equalizer) to the "Input" of an external effects processor (not included.) The RCA "Return" output can
then be connected to receive a processed pre fader stereo signal from the connected external effects
processor. These outputs are also to be used in conjunction with the "Process" and "Process Blend
Controls" (See Section 8 "Effects Processing Controls.")
"Master" (Main Stereo Output)
This RCA output is for connecting an external monitoring device such as a PA system, powered monitors
or a home stereo. The level of the master stereo output signal increases as the "master" volume control is
increased.
"Booth" (Auxiliary Stereo Output)
This RCA output is for connecting a secondary external monitoring device such as a booth monitor or
second stereo output. The level of the booth output signal will increase as the "Booth" volume control is
increased.
"Rec" (Recording Level Stereo Output)
This RCA output is for connecting an external recording device such as a CD Recorder, MD Recorder or a
Tape Deck. The level of this signal is not affected by "master" volume or "booth" adjustments but is
affected by all other controls.
"GND" (Grounding Lug)
This screw connector should be used to secure any devices connected to the mixer that need to be
grounded. Most turntables that are connected to the mixer will need to have a ground wire that is
designed to connect to the mixer to eliminate hum and noise.
