The TAPE inputs provide a feed
from an unbalanced phono sour-
ce to the stereo master busses or
to phones and speakers outputs.
The TAPE IN level control pro-
vides nom inal adjustment from
+20dB to off with 0dB at the cen-
tre position of the rotary control.
The MASTERS B rotary control
gives continuous adjustment of
the masters B (stereo/mono) out-
put level from +10dB to off with
0dB at the centre position of the
rotary control.
By the STEREO/M O N O switch
the Master B outputs can be con-
figured in two modes. In STE-
REO mode the master b outputs
are fed with the stereo left and
right m ix signals. In Mono mode
they are fed with the sum m ed left
and right m ix signal.
The MUTE switch mutes all si-
gnals sent to master and master b
outputs. Only the Tape In signal
to masters is not affected by the
MUTE switch.
The MAS switch connects the
TAPE IN signal to the master
L/R busses right after the master
mute switch. This allowes i. e.
b a c k g r o u n d m u s i c d u r i n g a

m u te sw itch is engaged. The
MAS switch should be off during
recording via TAPE OUT.
The PRE/POST switch changes
the signals sent to the masters b
outputs from pre master fader to
post master fader.
The BAL control is used to ba-
lanced the relative levels of the
left and right master signals that
are sent to the masters outputs.
The control has a constant power
law, i. e. 0dB at the centre positi-
on and +3dB or off at either ex-
treme setting
.
The stereo Fader gives continous
adjustment of the left and right
m ix levels from +10dB to off.
