located on the rear panel. The stereo line inputs will accept any line
level input such as a CD player, a cassette player, etc.

epending on your system configuration, applying the ground
sometimes creates a quieter signal path. Sometimes “lifting” the
ground eliminates loops and hum to create a quieter signal path.
1. Listen to the system with the unit ON, without music, and with the
ground “applied”. GROUND LIFT SWITCH (13) should be set to the
left.
2. Turn power OFF before moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH.
3. Now, “lift” the ground by moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH to the
right. Turn the power back ON and listen to determine which position
provides a signal free of background noise and hum.
Note: Keep GROUND LIFT in the ground “applied” or left
position if noise level remains the same in either position.
CAUTION: DO NOT TERMINATE THE AC GROUND ON THE POWER
CABLE.
TERMINATION OF THE AC GROUND CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
OPERATION
1. POWER ON: Once you have made all the equipment connections
to your mixer, press the POWER SWITCH (1).
2. CHANNEL 1: The GAIN (48), HIGH (20), MID (21), and LOW (22)
controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. Switch (23)
allows you to select the PHONO 1 (12) or the PHONO 2 LINE 1
(11) input. CHANNEL SLIDE (24) controls the input level of this
channel.
3. CHANNEL 2: The GAIN (41), HIGH (33), MID (34), and LOW (35)
controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. Switch (36)
allows you to select the PHONO 3/LINE 2 (7) or the LINE 3 (6)
input. CHANNEL SLIDE (37) controls the input level of this channel.
PLEASE NOTE: There is Low, Mid and High equalization for
each channel with an extremely wide range of adjustment.
SUGGESTION: You can use the Cut Features on each channel
to remove Low, Mid and/or High range to create special effects.
4. KILLING FREQUENCIES: There are two ways to kill frequencies,
using the LOW (25, 38) ,MID (26, 39), and HIGH (27, 40) KILL
SWITCHES. Each Kill Switch has three positions, latch, normal and
flash. When you move the selected KILL SWITCH to the top LATCH
(ON) position, the switch will stay there, and the frequency will be
killed. When you move the selected KILL SWITCH to the center
position the kill function is not active, and the frequency will not be
killed. When you move the selected KILL SWITCH to the bottom
FLASH position and hold it there, the frequency will be killed.
Releasing the selected KILL SWITCH from the bottom position will
bring it back to the center position and the frequency will no longer
be killed.
