GENERAL FUNCTIONS AND CONTROLS (Cont.) FRONT & REAR PANEL
46. GND (GROUND TERMINAL) - Be sure to connect turntable ground leads to either or both of the two
available ground terminals. This will reduce the humming and popping noises associated with magnetic
phono cartridges.
47. CHANNEL LINE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCHES - These switches are used to change the voltage line
levels of there respected Phono / Line RCA inputs jacks. When connecting turntables with magnetic car-
tridges to these jacks be sure the corresponding switch is in the “PHONO” position, and when using line level
input devices such as CD players and tape decks be sure this switch is in the “LINE” position. Always be sure
main power is shut off before changing the position of the Line Level Selector Switch.
48. CHANNEL 1 LINE/PHONO INPUT JACKS - CD players, Tape Decks and other line level instruments
may be connected to these jacks. The CHANNEL LINE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCHES (47) must be set to
the correct position representing what is connected to the input jacks; i.e. if a turntable is connected to the
input jacks the CHANNEL LINE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCHES (47) must be set to "Phono". See CHANNEL
LINE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCHES (47) on this page. The red colored RCA jack represents the right channel
input and the white represents the left channel input. Input volume will be controlled by channel one fader.
The channel SOURCE SELECTOR SWITCH (24) must be in the "Line" position, to monitor any source con-
nected to these jacks.
49. CHANNEL 2 LINE/PHONO INPUT JACKS - CD players, Turntables, and Tape Decks may be connected
to these jacks. The CHANNEL LINE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCHES (47) must be set to the correct position
representing what is connected to the input jacks; i.e. if a turntable is connected to the input jacks the CHAN-
NEL LINE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCHES (47) must be set to "Phono". See CHANNEL LINE LEVEL SELEC-
TOR SWITCHES (47) on this page. The red colored RCA jack represents the right channel input and the white
represents the left channel input. Input volume will be controlled by channel two fader. The channel SOURCE
SELECTOR SWITCH (24) must be in the "Line" position when CD players and any other line level instruments
are connected to these jacks, to monitor any source connected to these jacks.
50. BOOTH OUTPUT JACKS - The VERSADECK offers a secondary output usually used to monitor your mix or
to route to an outboard recording device. This output volume is controlled by the BOOTH LEVEL KNOB (35).
51. RCA MASTER OUTPUTS - The RCA jacks send a low current unbalanced output signal. These jacks
should only be used for shorter cable runs to signal processors or looping to another mixer. For cable runs
greater than 15 feet use the XLR BALANCED JACKS (52).
52. BALANCED XLR MASTER OUTPUT JACS - The Master Output includes a pair of XLR Balanced jacks
as well as a pair of RCA UNBALANCED JACKS (51). The 3-pin XLR jacks send a high current balanced
output signal. These jacks should be used when you will be driving an amp or other audio equipment with
a balanced input, or whenever you will be running a signal line greater than 15 feet. Always, use these jacks
whenever possible.
53. USB MIDI JACK - Use this jack to connect to a computer or a host USB player. After hooking up your
computer with the USB 1.1 Connections, your computer will detect them respectively as an external sound
card (USB Code). You may either play music on your computer or send it via the USB 1.1 Connections as a
signal source to the device; alternatively, you may record the Master output signal on your computer using the
USB 1.1 Connection.
NOTE: The sent Master Output Signal is not influenced by the position of the volume controls. To use the
USB 1.1 Connection, please also refer to the operation manual of your computer and the programmers used.
54. USB PORT 2- This is the second USB port where you can insert a USB stick, USB SD Card reader, or
compatiable external hard drive for playback. VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE SEE PAGE 8 FOR DETAILS
REGARDING/USING USB DEVICES.
55. POWER BUTTON - This button is used to turn your unit’s power on and off.
56. POWER CONNECTOR - This connection is used to connect your main power. Be sure that your local
power matches the unit’s required power. NEVER REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG FROM THE POWER
CABLE, DOING SO MAY RESULT IN IMPROPER OPERATION.
