25. Tape to CR / Phones
Push this button in to route the tape in signal to
the control room and phones. When the switch is up
[disengaged], the control room, phones and meters
receive the main mix signal tapped after the main mix
control.
When the switch is down [engaged], the control
room, phones and meters receive the MP3/CD/tape
input signal. This is especially useful for auditioning
or cueing up house music to play in between sets.
WARNING: Turn down the control room /
phones knob before engaging this switch.
26. CR / Phones
As you might expect, this knob controls the levels
of both the stereo control room and the headphones
outputs. Make sure that you move it to minimum before
adding a new source.
Whatever your selection, you can also use
the control room outputs for other applications.
The sound quality is just as impeccable as the main
outputs. It can be used as an additional main mix
output and this one will have its own level control.
27. Aux Master [Mix8 only]
This knob provides overall level control of the aux
send, just before it’s delivered to the aux send output.
This knob goes from off (turned fully down), to unity
gain at the center, with 15 dB of extra gain (turned fully
up). You may never need the additional gain, but here it
is anyway.

22. Tape In
Connect computer audio outputs, or tape recorder’s
outputs here, using standard hi-fi (RCA) cables.
Use these jacks for convenient playback of your mixes.
You’ll be able to review a mix then try another pass
without repatching or disturbing the mixer levels. You
can also use these jacks with an MP3 player, CD player
or laptop to feed music to a PA system between sets.
RCA plugs are unbalanced. Connect the signal to
the center post and the ground (earth) or shield to
the surrounding “basket.” Be sure the cables are wired
per AES (Audio Engineering Society) standards:
Unbalanced RCA Connector
Sleeve – Shield (Ground)
Tip – Positive (+ or hot)
23. Tape Out
Unbalanced RCA connections tap the main mix output
to make simultaneous recording and PA work more
convenient. Connect these to your laptop or standalone
recorder’s inputs.
Mono Out: If you want to feed a mono signal to your
standalone recorder or other device, simply use
a stereo RCA to mono 1/8" cord to combine these
outputs. Do not attempt this with any other outputs
on a Mix Series mixer.
24. Tape to Main
Push this button in to route the tape in signal to the
main mix.
WARNING: Pushing in the tape to main
button may create a feedback path between
tape in and tape out. Make sure the tape
deck is not in record mode, record-pause mode,
or input monitor mode before this switch is engaged.
