My mixer deck has a switch on each channel marked Line/Phono and on the back has 2x2 inputs for each channel, again marked Line and Channel.
Am I right in thinking that a Phono signal has already been pre-amped and is therefore louder/stronger than the Line signal?
If I plug in something like another CD player or a Karaoke player and the outputs are not marked to state whether it's a Line Out or a Phono out can I assume that if they are the standard colours (ie Red and White) and take an RCA plug that it is Phono and plug it in accordingly?
Finally, if there is ever a doubt about the signal output which is the safest option to plug it into on my mixer, should I use Line or Phono?
Any help or advice would really be appreciated
Thanks in advance
