MST = The microphone signal is directly routed to the device‘s master-out.

Moreover it is possible to manipulate the microphone signal via the included Equalizer -F55-.

At the device‘s side you have the possibility to connect an external sound source via RCA cable to the Terminal Mix 4 (-B51-) and integrate it in the controller.

Now you can control the input level via the Volume Dial -F58-. Additionally to a line-in source you also have the possibility to connect a turntable. To do so please put the Line/Phono Switch -B50- in the “PH” position. If you wish to route the signal to a software, put the Input Routing Switch -F57- in the “SW” position.
