Channel Controls

6 Input channels are provided. Each has switchable inputs for two stereo
sources. CH1-3 provide line and phono (RIAA) inputs. CH4-6 have two
switchable line sources each. All channels provide insert points for patching in

additional equipment. Internal jumper options let you change the gain settings
and switch out the RIAA equalisation.

Phono / Line select

CH1-3 This toggle switch selects the PHONO input

in its left position, or the LINE input in its right position.

Line A / Line B select

CH4-6 This toggle switch selects the LINE A

input in its left position, or the LINE B input in its right position.

RIAA

The PHONO input passes through an RIAA equaliser. This

compensates for the response of the turntable pickup cartridge and results in
the desired flat frequency response. Note that the RIAA equaliser can be
bypassed using internal option jumpers if you want to use the inputs for
additional line sources instead.

Meter

This has 8 LEDs which display the level from -18dB to +10dB relative

to the normal 0dB operating level. It is peak responding so that it can
accurately display fast music peaks. The stereo L and R signals are summed
to feed the meter display. Turn back the LEVEL control if the red ‘+10’ LED
lights. Although there is still plenty of headroom above this level, it is important
to prevent very high channel levels which could overload the mix if several

sources are being mixed together.
