Frequently Asked Questions
It’s designed for standard magnetic cartridges; high-output DJ cartridges may overload the input and require an external preamp.
While possible, the limited EQ and channel count makes it less ideal than dedicated studio mixers – better suited for straightforward routing.
It mutes the main outputs briefly when a button is pressed, allowing for announcements or brief instructions over the audio – a handy feature for live events.
