10. INPUT SOURCE SELECTOR: Used to select the correct input on each channel:
Phono, line, aux or mic. On some channels there are additional input selectors on the
back.
Hint: Line, Aux, CD, Tuner, etc... are different names for inputs with almost the same signal levels.
11. GAIN LEVEL: Adjusts the input level on each channel. Use this control to adjust the
level on the VU-meter at about 0dB.
12. 3-BAND TONE CONTROLS: The frequency of each channel can be controlled
separately over a range from -26dB to +12dB. In the center position the tone control is
flat. (switched off)
13. BEAT COUNTER DISPLAY: Shows the number of beat per minute (BPM) of the
music on the channel selected with the crossfader assign selector (17). To have a
reliable result on the display the music must have a clear and steady beat.
14. FADER START ON/OFF SWITCH: When you have a compatible CD-player
connected to the fader control connectors, you can control its start/stop (re-cue)
functions with the cross fader. With this switch you can turn the fader start control on
and off.
15. BEAT OFFSET INDICATOR: This indicator has several colored LEDs which indicate
if the beat on both beat counters are well synchronized. When both beat counters are
completely out of sync, the red LEDs will be lit. You will have to adapt the speed of the
connected audio sources so the beats will be nicely synchronized. When the
synchronization becomes better the yellow LEDs will turn on. Finally, when both beats
are in perfect sync, the green led in the center turns on. Now you can mix the beat of 2
audio sources together.
16. CROSSFADER: With this fader you can mix over between the channels you selected
with the crossfader assign selectors (17). The crossfader only works when you move
the selected channel faders (8) to the desired level! The crossfader also integrates the
optical fader starts. See the next chapter for more information on this issue.
17. CROSSFADER ASSIGN: Selects the input channels to be used with the crossfader
(16) and beat counters (13). When set to "0" the crossfader is switched off.
18. MASTER1 LEVEL: Used to adjust the level of the balanced Master1 output.
19. BALANCE MASTER1: used to adjust the balance between left and right output on
Master1.
20. MASTER2 LEVEL: Used to adjust the level of the unbalanced Master2 output.
21. BALANCE MASTER2: used to adjust the balance between left and right output on
Master2.
22. MONO/STEREO SWITCH: used to switch both masters in mono or stereo mode.
23. MASTER1 VU METERS: Monitors the output level of master1. Make sure the levels
do not exceed 0dB (or 100%). The audio risks to be distorted when the signal level
comes in the red zone of the VU-meter.
24. CUE MIX: With this fader you can mix the master output and any of the input channels
through the headphone output (26):
• Put the fader in the extreme left position to monitor a selected PFL signal (7).
• Put the fader in the extreme right position to hear the master output.
• Put the fader in any other position to hear a mix of the two signals.
This option makes it possible to check your mix before you put it on the master output.
25. CUE LEVEL: Used to control the output level of the headphone output.
26. HEADPHONE jack: You can monitor all inputs/outputs when you connect any modern
stereo headphone to this 6.3mm jack.
27. POWER switch: Used to turn the power of the mixer on and off. The blue led is lit
when the mixer is turned on.

28. MAINS CABLE: connect this cable to a 230V/50Hz mains outlet. Before use, inspect
the cable to be sure it's not damaged!
29. FADER CONTROL: When connected to these inputs, compatible CD-players can be
controlled by the fader starts of this mixer.
30. MASTER1 BALANCED OUTPUT: The XLR-connectors can be used to connect this
mixer to any balanced amplifier input, using special balanced signal cables.
31. MASTER UNBALANCED OUTPUTS: The "mast.1" output has the same output signal
as the balanced master output(30) but unbalanced. The "mast.2" output carries the
same signal but can be controlled independently by the master2 level/balance (20/21).
Use the outputs to connect unbalanced amplifiers.
32. RECORD OUTPUT: Carries the same signal as the master outputs but is not
influenced by the master level, balance and mono/stereo controls. Used to connect
analog recording equipment.
33. INPUT CHANNEL 5: used to connect two different line level audio signals. The input
source selector (10) on the front determines which input will be active.
34. INPUT CHANNEL 4: used to connect a turntable and/or a line level audio signal. The
input source selector (10) on the front determines which input will be active.
35. GROUND (GND) CONNECTION: Many Turntables have a GND-connection. It is
preferable to connect this signal ground to the GND-connector. If your turntable does
not have a ground wire, you don't have to use this connector.
36. INPUT CHANNEL 3: used to connect a turntable and/or a line level audio signal. The
input source selector (10) on the front determines which input will be active.
37. INPUT CHANNEL 2: used to connect two different line level audio signals. Refer to
switch (39) to change one line input to microphone level. The input source selector
(10) on the front determines which input will be active.
38. MIC2 INPUT: Used to connect an unbalanced microphone to channel 2. Refer to
switch (39) to change the CD1 input to mic2.
39. MIC2/CD1 SWITCH: This switch makes it possible to switch between the CD1 input
(37) and the mic2 input (38) on channel2.
40. LINE INPUT CHANNEL1: used to connect a line level audio signal to channel1.
41. MIC1 INPUT CHANNEL1: used to connect a microphone to channel1.
