9.2. Integrating Turntable
The Mixer channels on the S4 allow you to connect up to two phono level audio devices and two
line level devices simultaneously.
A turntable that requires a separate phono pre-amplifier stage has to be connected to Mixer chan-
nel

or
B
. A turntable that has an integrated phono pre-amplifier can be connected to any Mixer
channel.
This section provides you with the steps of how to connect a turntable without an integrated pho-
no-pre-amplifier stage. At first you connect the turntable to the S4. Then you enable the phono
pre-amplifier stage for the Mixer channel. Finally, you switch the Deck to Live Input.
