6. Master Outputs (XLR, balanced): Use standard XLR cables to connect these outputs to
loudspeakers or an amplifier system. Use the Master knob on the top panel to control the
volume level.
7. Master Outputs (RCA, unbalanced): Use standard RCA cables to connect these outputs
to loudspeakers or an amplifier system. Use the Master knob on the top panel to control
the volume level.
8. Stereo/Mono: Use this switch to set the channel configuration of the Master Outputs:
Stereo (binaural audio using separate left and right channels) or Mono (summed monaural
audio through both left and right channels).
9. Booth Outputs (XLR, balanced): Use standard XLR cables to connect these outputs to
booth monitors or a booth amplifier system. Use the Booth knob on the top panel to
control the volume level.
10. Line Inputs (RCA, unbalanced): Use standard RCA cables to connect these line-level
inputs to an external audio source.
11. Line/Phono Inputs (RCA, unbalanced): Use standard RCA cables to connect these line-
level or phono-level inputs to an external audio source.
12. Phono/Line Switch: Flip this switch to the appropriate position, depending on the device
connected to the Line/Phono Inputs. If you are using phono-level turntables, set this
switch to Phono to provide the additional amplification needed for phono-level signals. If
using a line-level device, such as a CD player or sampler, set this switch to Line.
13. Grounding Terminal: If using phono-level turntables with a grounding wire, connect the
grounding wire to these terminals. If you experience a low “hum” or “buzz”, this could
mean that your turntables are not grounded.
Note: Some turntables have a grounding wire built into the RCA connection and, therefore,
nothing needs to be connected to the grounding terminal.
14. Mic 1 Input (XLR or 1/4” / 6.35 mm): Use a standard XLR or 1/4” (6.35 mm) cable (not
included) to connect a standard dynamic microphone to this input. Use the Mic 1 Level
knob on the top panel to control the volume level.
15. Mic 2 Input (1/4” / 6.35 mm): Use a standard 1/4” (6.35 mm) cable (not included) to
connect a standard dynamic microphone to this input. Use the Mic 2 Level knob on the
top panel to control the volume level.
16. Kensington
®
Lock: Use this slot to secure MCX8000 to a table or other surface.
17. Link: Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect this port to a computer. MCX8000 will
send time, BPM, and other track data to your software over this connection.
