connections.
3 RCA MASTER OUTPUTS: These audio outputs carry unbalanced
audio signals from the Master bus of the mixer. The MASTER
VOLUME CONTROL determines the level of audio which is sent to
these outputs.
4
RECORD RCA OUTPUTS: These outputs is best suited for
connecting a recording device, as it is not altered by the MASTER
VOLUME CONTROL. This is useful in a live setting when you are
required to change the overall volume of your output, but you do not
want to change the level of audio being fed to the recording device.
If you are not using a recording device, these outputs are capable of
driving another amplifier or speaker system, but the volume will
have to be set independently from the MASTER.

VERTIBLE PHONO/LINE (PH/LN) RCA INPUTS These small
switches which are located to the right of the RCA inputs for chan-
nels 1 and 2 allow you to choose between a PHONO (Turntable)
input or a LINE level (Mp3, CD, Tape player etc..).and require the
proper switching. When switched to the PH position you may use
any Turntable with a magnetic cartridge, remember to connect your
ground wire (see GROUNDING SCREW) or there may be a system
hum.
CHANNEL INPUTS: Now you may plug the RCA's from your
6
playable medium into each input to be connected to their respective
CHANNELS (CH).

MIXER CHANNEL TO OVERLOAD AND OR DISTORT.

ground the RCA cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the
GROUNDING SCREW located on the rear panel of the iTRAX mixer.

the USB INPUT is determined by the position of the iPod® 1/ iPod®
