The
MIC INPUT
is the balanced XLR connector for your
dynamic microphone.
The
GAIN
control is used to line up the input signal of
each channel.
Each input channel has a 3-band equalizer (
HIGH, MID
and
LOW
) with kill characteristic. Thus, the signal can be
lowered to a much greater extent (-32 dB) than it can be
raised (+12 dB). This function can be very useful when,
for example, fading a frequency range out of a music
track.

The total level also depends on the EQ setting.
Thus, you should adjust the equalizer before
regulating the level with the GAIN control.
The
MIC/LINEPHONO
switch allows you to choose
between the microphone signal and the line or phono
signal on channel 1. The position of the rear panel PHONO/
LINE switch (see
) determines whether the input is
switched to the phono or the line level setting of the right-
hand switch position.
On channels 2 and 3 you determine the input signals with
the
PHONO/LINE
switch. Phono is intended for
connecting a turntable. Line must be selected for all
other signal sources (e. g. CD or MD players).
+
Never connect devices with line level to the highly
sensitive phono inputs! The output level of phono
pick-up systems is measured in millivolts,
whereas CD players and tape decks have levels
measured in volts, i.e. the level from line signals
is up to 100 times higher than that of the phono
inputs.
