CONNECTING THE
OUTPUTS
To avoid sudden and unusable sound
outputs from the audio devices, adjust
the audio devices' controls to these set-
tings before you connect the mixer's out-
put jacks to the audio devices' input
jacks.
To play the mixer's output signal through
your speaker system (for events such as
parties, dances, and conferences), con-
nect an audio patch cord (not supplied)
from the mixer's
OUTPUT R
and
L
jacks
to your receiver/amplifier's left and right
auxiliary input jacks.
To record the mixer's output signal, con-
nect an audio patch cord (not supplied)
from the mixer's
REC R
and
L
jacks to
your tape deck's left and right input
jacks.
Note: Your local RadioShack store car-
ries a wide variety of cords and cables.
CONNECTING THE
INPUTS
To mix up to seven audio input sources
(such as a microphone, tuner, tape
deck, CD player, magnetic-cartridge
turntable, camcorder, or VCR), connect
them to the input jacks, one on the front
panel and six on the back of the mixer.
Only four inputs can be mixed at the
same time.
Caution: Do not connect an audio
source with a high-level output into the
low-level
MIC
,
MIC 1
,
MIC 2
,
PHONO 1
, or
PHONO 2
audio input jacks. An audio
source's output is high-level if you can
raise or lower its volume with its volume
control.

plied) with a

/
4
-inch plug into
MIC
on
the top left corner of the front panel.
This is the DJ's microphone.
2. Connect up to two low-level output
audio sources (such as two addi-
tional stereo microphones, not sup-
plied) with a
1
/
4
inch plug to
MIC 1
and
MIC 2
on the back of the mixer.
These are the performance micro-
phones.
Note: Your local RadioShack store
carries a wide selection of micro-
phones.
3. Connect up to two low-level output
audio sources (such as magnetic-
cartridge turntables) to
PHONO 1
and
PHONO 2
.
Notes:
• If you connect magnetic-cartridge
turntables, connect their ground
wires (usually black or green) to
GND
.
• You can connect any audio
source's low-level output to either
PHONO 1
or
PHONO 2
.
4. Connect up to two high-level output
audio sources (such as a tuner, cas-
