CONNECTION DIAGRAM

REAR PANEL FEATURES

1. POWER SWITCH – Turns the mixer on and off.
   Turn on the mixer after all input devices have been connected and before you turn on amplifiers. Turn off amplifiers before you turn off the mixer.
2. AC IN – Use the included power adapter to connect the mixer to a power outlet. While the power is switched off, plug the power supply into the mixer first, then plug the power supply into a power outlet.
   Note: The mixer is designed to work with the included power supply only. Using an incompatible power supply could result in damage to the unit.
3. MASTER OUTPUT (RCA) – Use standard RCA cables to connect this output to a speaker or amplifier system. The level of this output is controlled by the MASTER knob on the top panel.
4. LINE INPUTS (RCA) – Connect line-level devices, such as CD players, samplers or audio interfaces, to these inputs.
5. PHONO INPUTS (RCA) – Connect phono-level devices, such as turntables, to these inputs.
6. GROUNDING TERMINAL – If you are using phono-level turntables with a grounding wire, connect the grounding wire to these terminals. If you experience a low "hum" or "buzz", this could mean that your turntables are not grounded.
   Note: Some turntables have a grounding wire built into the RCA connection and, therefore, nothing needs to be connected to the grounding terminal.

TOP PANEL FEATURES

1. POWER LED – Illuminates when the mixer is on.
2. STEREO LEVEL INDICATOR – Displays the audio level of the Program mix.
3. MASTER – This control adjusts the output volume of the Program mix.
4. MIC GAIN – Adjusts the audio level of the microphone signal.

   Tip: If you experience feedback when using a microphone at loud levels, try turning down the high frequencies.
6. MIC BASS – Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies of the microphone channel.
7. CUE GAIN – Adjusts the level of the headphone audio.

9. CHANNEL GAIN – Adjusts the corresponding channel's pre-fader and pre-EQ gain level.

    Note: The crossfader is user-replaceable if it should ever wear out. Simply remove the facepanel, then remove the screws holding it in position. Replace the fader with a quality authorized replacement from your local Numark retailer only.
