The mixer features an XLR microphone and 1/4" TRS line level inputs on channels 1 and 2. Channels 3 and 4 are stereo and feature L/R RCA stereo paired connections. The input level on channels 3 and 4 can be switched to accept a turntable signal, allowing the Compact 4 to be used as a DJ mixer. A 3-band EQ is located on every input channel, and two sets of record outputs enable signal to be routed to a sound card input, CD recorder, etc.
