Frequently Asked Questions
No, this mixer only has line-level RCA inputs; it doesn't support phono preamps for turntables.
The Bluetooth range is likely standard, around 30 feet, but obstructions can significantly reduce it – test it in your performance space.
The faders are likely plastic, so while functional, they might not hold up to constant, aggressive use like higher-end mixers.
