Inputs

[flash911 0]

I work in a pub where now and then they ask to plug a karaoke machine in thru my mixer, the problem now is........ 4channel mixer 4 lines , 3 phonos and I already have the lines in use, 2x cd inputs and 2 x cortex inputs can I use the phono inputs or (apart from using diff mixer, which I would rathe not do) what else is poss?

Please excuse the thickness of this question

Phono inputs are designed for the lower level that a cartrige outputs, and they apply the RIAA EQ, so you can't just plug a line level input in to them. But you can get converters like this.

So in "theory" with one of these in line to each phono input I could increase the "line" inputs to 4 from 7 ?

Robbie beat me to it! Yes you can increase the inputs this way, but to be honest it'd be cheaper to buy an additional mini-mixer with say 4 or 6 line inputs and plug it into one of your existing line inputs to 'expand' your capabilities.

SHop around and you can get one with 5 to 8 line inputs for under £40 quid

Thanks for that. I don't suppose you could recommend one?

To be honest I might just go the adaptor route, cheaper and I don't always need the xtra line in

whats the make and model of the mixer

 

its a 4 channel mixer with 4 line inputs and 3 phono inputs

 

id hazard a guess that the 4th channel (the one without the phono input) will have 2 line inputs

Make is Citronic

Model is Predator (Yes I know old, but my fav mixer)

4 line in 3 phono

4th channel just phono in

well the only option is to get one of those convertors, but they arent great IMO

 

if this is going to be a regular thing

 

Get a Numark CM200 (standard one) for £129

 

Nice sound, good reliability, 5 Channels and 3 way EQ on every channel and its the exact same size as your predator!

 

(without those fiddly little knobs that fall off too :p)
