2. Using The Auxiliary Input
This input can be used with any mono audio signal upto approx 4Vpp, the signal will be buffered and mixed with channels 1-4.
Any level adjustment of the auxiliary input signal should be done on the source device.
3. Level Control
Channels 1-4
Each channel has a level control which ranges from off (fully anti-clockwise) to +10dB gain (fully clockwise). Additionally each channel has a mute switch which can be
useful to keep a level setting but still mute the sound on an individual channel.
Master Level
The master level control is used to adjust the level of channels 1-4 but does not affect the auxiliary input.
4. Mixer Output
The mixer output signal is a mix of the 5 input channels transmitted to the tip and ring of a stereo output. A mono or stereo cable can be used on the output,
in case of a stereo connection both left and right signals will be identical.
