USB P
ORTS
(9, 11) to connect the
mixer to any
Mac
or
PC USB
(1.0 or greater) ports allowing the DJ
to either record a session onto any wave form editing software pro-
gram or add computer based DJing or audio programs,
.MP3
,
.WMA
,
.WAV
,
or
.AIFF
formatted music into the mix. The
USB P
ORTS
(9, 11) inputs
receive audio playback signals from a computer.
- The
M
ASTER
RCA O
UTPUT
(5) connects the mixer to your main
amplifier using standard audio cables with
RCA
-type connectors.
- The
R
ECORD
RCA O
UTPUT
(6) jacks can be used to connect the
mixer to the record input of your recording unit, thus enabling you
to record your mix with
RCA
cables.
- The
Z

(7) jacks allow the connection of an addi-
tional amplifier with
RCA
cables.
- The
TRS ¼" B
