This stereo mixing amplifier is suitable for uni-
versal applications . It allows to connect up to
two audio units with line output level (e . g .
CD player or DVD player, tape deck) and up
to two microphones and to mix their signals
to two master outputs . It is also equipped
with an additional recording output and an
adjustable headphone output . An optional re-
mote control switch can be used to mute the
two master outputs and the speaker outputs .
The muting feature is also activated when you
connect headphones .
