INPUT A This provides a pair of RCA phono sockets for connection to stereo sources.
Channels 5,6,9,and 10 provide RIAA equalisation for magnetic cartridges to connect up
to 4 turntables (record decks).
connecting their earth straps to the console chassis earth terminal. Channels 7 and 8
inputs are unbalanced and can accept line levels signals from as low as –10dBu to a high
+10dBu for to connect stereo equipment such as CD and MiniDisc players. The level is
matched to the console using the front panel GAIN control.
INPUT B This provides either a pair of TRS jack or RCA phono sockets for connection
to line sources. Channels 5 and 10 provide RCA phono sockets for connection to stereo
sources. Channels 6,7,8 and 9 provide TRS jack sockets. For stereo sources plug into
both the L/M and R sockets. For mono sources plug into just the L/M socket leaving the
R socket unplugged. In this case the signal is normalled through the R socket to the right
channel. The jack inputs are balanced to provide interference rejection when connecting
to 3 wire balanced sources using long cables. The socket automatically grounds the cold
(-) input to accept unbalanced 2 wire TS jack sources. To connect an unbalanced source
using a TRS jack you should link ring to sleeve in the plug as shown above. The inputs
can accept line level signals from as low as –20dBu to a high +10dBu. The level is
matched to the console using the front panel GAIN control.
