ˆ Features
Your RadioShack 4-Channel Stereo Audio Mixer is a sophisticated control center, perfect for
mixing sound from multiple playback sources such as a microphone, tuner, CD player, turnta-
ble, or the audio output from a VCR.
It is ruggedly constructed for home or professional use and its wide-range volume controls let
you adjust sound levels to achieve the right mix for playing through your speaker system or for
recording. The mixer's many features give you almost limitless sound combinations.

CONNECTING INPUTS
You can connect up to ten audio input sourc-
es (such as cassette tape decks, CD players,
tuners, two magnetic-cartridge turntables, a
camcorder or a VCR) to the mixer’s input
jacks on the back panel. You can also con-
nect microphones to the appropriate jacks on
the top and back panels.
Warning:
A sudden high output from the
mixer could damage your hearing, especially
if you use headphones, and might also dam-
age the audio devices connected to the mix-
er's output. Before using the mixer, make
sure you set your receiver/amplifier's volume
control to its minimum volume level setting.

MIXING THE INPUTS
Monitoring a second input source's signal
level requires selecting the input source that
is not currently playing, finding the desired
section you want to mix, then adjusting the
source's sound level so it matches the vol-
ume level of the source currently playing.
You can connect input signals from up to 12
audio sources, select any two of the channel
input sources, then mix them so only one or
both play through your sound system.
Mixing requires three operations:
• Playing one input source.

• Keep the mixer dry. If it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately.
Your mixer requires a 250-volt, 0.5-amp fuse
to protect it from power surges and short cir-
cuits. If the mixer suddenly turns off or will
not turn on, the fuse could be blown. Replace
the fuse with a 0.5-amp, 250volt, fast-acting,
11/4 x 1/4 inch fuse (not supplied).
• Use and store the mixer only in normal
temperature environments.
• Handle the mixer gently and carefully.
Do not drop it.
Follow these steps to replace the fuse.
• Keep the mixer away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the mixer with a damp cloth occa-
sionally to keep it looking new.
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew
the fuse compartment cap on the back
of the mixer.
Modifying or tampering with the mixer’s inter-
nal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate its warranty. If your mix-
er is not performing as it should, take it to
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
2. Remove the old fuse and replace it with
an identical fuse.
Caution:
Never use a fuse of a different
type or rating.
3. Replace the fuse compartment cap.
ˆ Troubleshooting
We do not expect you to have any problems with your mixer, but if you have a problem, this in-
formation might help. If the problem persists, take the mixer to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
