Connections and Controls
MIC channel
The input of the mono microphone channel is via an XLR/jack connector (6) on the top left side of the
panel. See diagram below for the different possible connections. The MIC slider control (7) sets the
level of the microphone signal. The TALKOVER switch (8) reduces the sound level of the channels A
to D to ensure that the microphone signal is audible over the music.
Channels 1 to 3
These three stereo channels are identical. Every input accepts a CD player or a turntable via RCA
phono sockets (21) on the rear panel. The channels feature a 2-band tone control (3&4) and a selector
switch for turntable or CD player operation (2).
Channel 4
This channel has a stereo line input (19) (CD, cassette deck or another mixer) and a 6.3mm mono
input for an extra microphone (20).
Crossfader
This slider controls allows to fade between two of the channels A to D. Example: Set the left ASSIGN
knob (11) to A and the right ASIGN knob to D. If you push the crossfader (12) completely to the left,
you will only hear the sound of channel A. If you push it completely to the right, only channel D will be
heard. You can set any combination of the two ASSIGN knobs. The slider controls of the two selected
channels must of course be pushed upwards.
Master section
The MASTER slider control (10) sets the total output level to the amplifier. The level is indicated on the
LED vu-meter (9). Set the level to a point where the red LEDs only light up very shortly in order to
avoid overdrive. The RCA phono output to be connected to the amplifier is on the rear panel and
marked MASTER (18). The adjacent socket marked 'REC' (17) is for connection of the output signal to
a cassette recorder.
Headphone section
Connect a stereo headphone via a 6.3mm jack plug (15). Select one of the 5 input channels or the
MASTER output channel via the rotary knob (13). Set the volume via the LEVEL knob (14).
Power ON
After having connected the audio sources to the mixer and the mixer to the amplifier, set all slider
controls to the lowest position. Only then switch on the mixer and the amplifier.
Replacement of the crossfader
Due to the intensive use of this control, it needs replacement after some time. This is very easy and
requires no soldering. Remove the two screws on the panel of the crossfader via a crosshead
screwdriver. Lift off the control from the mixer and disconnect it. Push the connector on the new
crossfader (this can only be done one way). Insert the crossfader panel back into the mixer and fasten
the two screws.
