1. AC IN – Use the included power adapter to connect the mixer to a power outlet. While the power is switched off, plug the power supply into the mixer first, then plug the power supply into a power outlet.
   Note: The mixer is designed to work with the included AC power supply only. Using an incompatible power supply could result in damage to the unit.
2. POWER SWITCH – Turns the mixer on and off. Turn on the mixer after all input devices have been connected and before you turn on amplifiers. Turn off amplifiers before you turn off the mixer.
3. MASTER OUTPUT (RCA) – Use standard RCA cables to connect this output to a speaker or amplifier system. The level of this output is controlled by the MASTER knob on the top panel.
4. RECORD OUTPUT (RCA) – Use standard RCA cables to connect this output to a recording device, such as a CD recorder or tape deck. The level of this output is based upon pre-master levels.
5. LINE | PHONO INPUTS (RCA) – Connect your audio sources to these inputs. These inputs can accept both line and phono-level signals. (See #7.)
6. LINE INPUTS (RCA) – Connect line-level devices, such as CD players, samplers or audio interfaces, to these inputs.
7. AUX LINE | PHONO SWITCH – Flip this switch to the appropriate position, depending on the device connected to the PHONO INPUTS. If you are using phono-level turntables, set this switch to "PHONO" to provide the additional amplification needed for phono-level signals. If using a line-level device, such as a CD player or sampler, set this switch to "AUX LINE."
8. GROUNDING TERMINAL – If using phono-level turntables with a grounding wire, connect the grounding wire to these terminals. If you experience a low "hum" or "buzz", this could mean that your turntables are not grounded.
   Note: Some turntables have a grounding wire built into the RCA connection and, therefore, nothing needs to be connected to the grounding terminal.
9. MIC INPUT - Connect a 14 " microphone to this input. Microphone controls are located on the top panel.

TOP PANEL FEATURES

1. POWER LED – Illuminates when the mixer is on.

2. MIC TREBLE - Adjusts th high (treble) frequencies of the microphone channel.

Tip: If you experience feedback when using a microphone at loud levels, try turning down the high frequencies.

1. MIC BASS – Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies of the microphone channel.

2. MIC GAIN – Adjusts the audio level of the microphone signal.

3. INPUT SELECTOR - Selects the input source to be routed to the corresponding channel. Input jacks are located on the rear panel.

4. CHANNEL GAIN – Adjusts the corresponding channel's pre-fader and pre-EQ gain level.

5. CHANNEL TREBLE - Adjusts the high (treble) frequencies of the corresponding channel.

6. CHANNEL MID - Adjusts the mid-range frequencies of the corresponding channel.

7. CHANNEL BASS – Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies of the corresponding channel.

8. CHANNEL FADER - Adjusts the audio level on the corresponding channel.

9. CUE MODE SELECTOR – Selects the audio that is sent to the headphones. Switch it to "CH1", "CH2," or "CH3" to hear Channels 1, 2, or 3 in the Cue channel.

10. CUE BLEND – Turn to mix between Cue and Program in the headphones. When all the way to the left, only channels routed to CUE will be heard. When all the way right, only the Program mix will be heard.

11. CUE GAIN – Adjusts the level of the headphone audio.

12. MASTER – Adjusts the output volume of the Program mix.

13. STEREO LEVEL INDICATOR – Measures the audio level of the Program mix.

14. METER ASSIGN - Determines whether audio from the Program mix or the Cue channel is sent to the STEREO LEVEL INDICATOR.

15. HEADPHONES - Connect your 14 " headphones to this output for cueing and mix monitoring. Headphone output controls are located on the top panel.

16. CROSSFADER – Blends audio playing between Channels 1 and 3. Sliding this to the left plays Channel 1 and sliding to the right plays Channel 3.

Note: The crossfader is user-replaceable if it should ever wear out. Simply remove the facepanel, then remove the screws holding it in position. Replace the fader with a quality authorized replacement from your local Numark retailer only.

1. CROSSFADER (CF) SLOPE – Adjusts the slope of the crossfader curve. Flip switch to the left for a smooth fade (mixing) or to the right for a sharp cut (scratching).

2. CROSSFADER (CF) MODE – Reverses the assignment of Channels 1 and 3 on the crossfader.
