Input
A 2-Track Input, on RCA phono jacks, provides easy connection to DAT and other professional and semi-

Mix via switch 2TK TO MIX. Here should be disengaged, or you will be listening to the 2-Track signal
twice over! With depressed you have another Stereo Line Input available to the mix.

sources such as vinyl, cassette, CD etc.
