The most unusual feature on the front panel is a pair of knobs (one for each channel) that offer straight analogue blending between the audio interface outputs and the incoming signal. The headphone feed, meanwhile, has a mix function so you can hear channel A or B, or a controlled mix of both.
There's also a headphone jack with split cue facility that, rather irritatingly, isn't addressable as a third stereo pair and finally, a mic input. The inputs can be used either to channel audio into your machine (Conectiv shows up as an audio interface in any audio application) or to accept two channels of time-coded control data (more on this shortly). Speaking of the interface, known as Conectiv, it offers two sets of stereo ins and outs on DJ-friendly phono jacks (including turntable-level inputs).
