18. Master output level -

Controls the overall output level of the mixer.

19. Output meters - 

These LEDs let you know if the audio coming out

of the mixer is loud enough (or too loud!). If the LEDs reach the red,
the mixer is probably clipping, or distorting. 

20. Input selectors -

These toggle switches select the input source

between phono and line for each channel. 

21. Input gains -

Controls the input sensitivity level of each channel. An

LED meter is provided on each of the 3 channels for proper adjust-
ment of the levels.

22. Channel equalizer

- Individual controls for high frequency,

midrange, and low frequency equalization with +9dB/Kill adjust-
ments. 

Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will change the over -

all output level.

23. Channel pans

- Controls left/right output balance of each channel.

Power

: This is the power switch to turn the mixer "ON" or "OFF"

AC IN

: This is the Input connection for the included power supply.

Send and Return

: These connectors are used to connect an outboard

signal processor (such as the Stanton DFX-1). Connect a 1/4” mono
cable from the SEND output to the Line In on your signal processor.
Connect the RETURN input to the Line Out on your signal processor.
Your effects loop should now be working. Check it by turning the send
and return volume knobs to the center position (12 o’clock) and select-
ing FX LOOP on any of the mixer’s channels. 

Line:

Line inputs (represented by the letter L, followed by the input

number) are used to connect to line level sources such as CD players,
Mini Discs, DATs, samplers, etc.  

TT:

TT (or phono)  inputs are used to connect to turntables.  

Ground

: Connects to the turntable ground cable to eliminate electrical

hum. Ground cables are usually supplied with turntables

Master

:  Connects to an amplifier, EQ, crossover, or other outboard sig-

nal processing. 

Booth:

This is a second output, like the master output. It is usually used

as a separate output in the DJ Booth for the DJ to monitor the mix

REC:

This is the record output. The output level is static in this case,

there are no volume controls. It is used to connect directly to tape or CD
recorders. The volume can be set from the recording device.
