3.2 Connecting The Z2
Connecting the Z2 as a standalone mixer is simple and straightforward (for a more detailed de-
scription, please read the separate Setup Guide as instructed in ↑1.3.1, The Setup Guide):
1. Plug the power cord (included) into the rear panel of the Z2 and connect it to a stable AC
power source (115-230V 50-60Hz).
2. Switch the Z2 on (power switch on rear panel).
3. Connect turntables, CD players, or other stereo audio sources to the INPUT connections
(channels A and B) on the rear panel, turntables connect to the PHONO sockets, CD play-
ers connect to the LINE sockets.
4. The PH-LN switch at the very top of each channel on the top panel must be at the appro-
priate position in order for you to hear sound from that channel. If you have hooked up a
turntable to the channel, be sure that this is switched to PH ("phono") and if you have
connected CD players or other line-level inputs, the position should be LN ("line").
5. Turn the MASTER output knob all the way down (to the left) to avoid unexpectedly loud
levels.
6. Make sure that the TRAKTOR buttons at the top of each channel are off (not illuminated).
If your Z2 is not connected to a computer, both buttons will be off anyway.
7. Connect the MAIN OUT outputs to a mixer or a pair of active speakers.
8. Plug your headphones into the front panel.
9. Get some sound coming from your turntables or CD players.
10. Slowly turn up the MASTER knob until the volume is at the desired level.
If you still can't hear anything, make sure that:
