d.2 2-channel DJ Mixer
Rear Panel Features
1. MIC Input
This is a Neutrik “combo” input connector that ac-
cepts either a balanced male XLR connector or a 1/4"
balanced or unbalanced connector. Use an XLR connec-
tor for low-impedance microphones and a 1/4" connec-
tor for high-impedance microphones.
The MIC Input signal is routed through the MIC Input
Section, MIC EQ, and then to the Main Mix bus.
2. CD Inputs
These RCA jacks accept a stereo line-level signal from
a CD player or other line-level playback device (such as
an MP3 player or DVD audio).
3. LINE/PHONO Inputs
These RCA jacks accept a stereo phono-level signal
from a turntable (when the LINE/PHONO [4] switch
is pushed in), or from a line-level playback device such
as a CD player or MP3 player (when the LINE/PHONO
switch is out). Check that your turntable has a phono-
level output and a Moving Magnet cartridge.
4. LINE/PHONO Switch
If you connect a turntable with phono-level outputs
to the LINE/PHONO inputs [3], push this switch in to
select the phono-level input stage, which includes an
RIAA preamp for proper re-equalization of the incoming
phono signal.
If you are connecting a line-level playback device like
a CD or MP3 player, leave this switch out to select the
line-level preamp.
Do not press it in if you have a line-level
signal connected.
5. GND Terminal
These terminals are provided to connect a ground
wire from your turntable(s) to the d.2. Most turntables
provide a ground wire to connect to the preamp for the
purpose of eliminating “hum” in the audio signal. Simply
turn the ground terminal on the d.2 counter-clockwise
to loosen it, wrap the end of the ground wire clockwise
around the terminal, and hand-tighten the ground ter-
minal for a secure ground connection.
6. Stereo FX SEND
These 1/4" TRS jacks provide a balanced line-level
output signal from the stereo FX Send bus. Use these to
connect to the inputs of an external effects processor.
You can also use an unbalanced 1/4" TS cable to make
this connection.
7. Stereo FX RETURN
These 1/4" TRS jacks accept a balanced line-level
signal from an external effects processor. They will also
accept an unbalanced 1/4" TS connector.
If you are using a stereo effects processor, connect its
left and right outputs to the corresponding left and right
FX RETURN jacks. If it is a mono effects processor, con-
nect its output signal to the left FX RETURN jack, and it
will appear on both the left and right Main Mix bus.
8. BOOTH Outputs
These 1/4" TRS jacks provide a balanced line-level
signal from the Main Mix bus, prior to the rotary MAIN
LEVEL control [32]. Use these to connect to a pair
of powered monitor speakers (or to the inputs of an
amplifi er powering the monitor speakers in the booth).
