1. Fig 5 2 Expanding the standard setup In this setup the standard setup shown in fig 5 1 is expanded by adding two turntables and a microphone The connection to the computer and the other peripheral devices is the same as in example 1 Connect the outputs of the turntables to the inputs A and B When using input B the PHONO LINE switch needs to be in the PHONO position Optionally you can connect a CD player to input B In this case the PHONO LINE switch needs to be in the LINE position Activate the inputs by pressing the input source buttons EXT IN A or EXT IN B 4 You are able to manage up to four source signals by switching between the analog source and the software signal You can connect a dynamic microphone by using the available MIC input which has an XLR connector There is a MIC LEVEL control in the MIC INPUT section with which you can adjust the volume level of the microphone signal The EQ controls LOW and HIGH let you change the microphone signal additionally When levels are too high the Clip LED lights up and audible distortion may occur If this happens turn the MIC LEVEL control to the left until the LED does not light up anymore The ANALOG INPUT A G6 is switchable between the microphone signal and PHONO A This can be done the following ways e Via MIDI Program Change command see Table 6 7 e In Windows XP via the tab ASIO or WDM MME in Control Panel 12 _B CONTROL DEEJAY BCD30002.
