We can’t possibly list all of them here, but below are a few of the most common sources:
a) Microphones, both dynamic and condensor types can be used. Channel One also
has a high-pass filter which removes the sub bass frequencies when singing “b” and “p”
sounds.
b) Guitars, there is even a DI circuit to enhance bass guitars, which is located on a mono
channel
c) Synths/Keyboards, line level stereo outputs can be fed to the stereo input channels.
d) Decks, or turntables if you’re that way inclined, can be fed to stereo inputs with RIAA
Equalisation. The RIAA Equalisation returns the tone of the deck input to that of the
original signal (as RIAA-EQ is applied when cutting vinyl).
e) Computer, both Mac and PC systems have a host audio card, often found on the
motherboard. The unbalanced connection from the host (or consumer soundcard) can
be connected to the phono playback inputs.
f) Professional Soundcards, or Digital Audio Workstations can be connected to the
3-pole ‘A’ gauge balanced jack playback inputs.
g) CDR/DAT/MD/MP3 - the outputs of these consumer, or professional devices can be
connected to the unbalanced phono inputs, or the 3-pole ‘A’ gauge balanced jack stereo
inputs (Compact10 only).
h) Another mixer, often called a sub-mixer will be used to mix a drum kit, or an orchestral
outfit. The outputs of this mixer can be connected to the unbalanced phono inputs, or the
3-pole ‘A’ gauge balanced jack stereo inputs (Compact10 only).
