Features & Functions Top Panel

1. Microphone Volume

This knob is used to regulate the microphone output volume. Turning the knob in a clock-wise direction will increase the volume level.

2~3. Microphone EQ section

These controls are used to adjust the microphone treble and bass levels. Each microphone input has a separate channel EQ.

Microphone Treble Control

This knob is used to adjust the treble levels of the Microphone with a maximum signal gain of

10dB or maximum signal decrease of -10dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to the microphone signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied to microphone signal.

After

Microphone Bass Control

This knob is used to adjust the bass levels of the Microphone with a maximum signal gain of

10dB or maximum signal decrease of -10dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direct

-ion will decrease the amount of bass applied to the microphone signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to microphone signal.

4. Talkover Switch

When engaged this function will decrease all signal levels, except the microphone level, by

14dB.

5. Channel Input Switch

These switches are used to select the input source assigned to each channel. Each channel may only be assigned one input source at a time.

6. Channel Gain Control

This adjustment is used to adjust an audio source signal input gain for a channel. Never use the gain control to adjust output volume. Setting the gain level properly will ensure a clean output signal. To properly set the gain level controls:

1. Be sure the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (15) is set to minimum (zero output).

2. Set the CHANNEL FADER (10) to level 7.

3. Begin play on an audio source connected to the channel you are adjusting.

4. Turn the PFL (14) function on, for the channel you are adjusting.

5. Use the GAIN CONTROL (6) to achieve an average output level of no distortion.

7~9.CHANNEL EQUALIZER ( BASS/MID/TREBLE CONTROL)

All of the channels include a three-band signal EQ. These controls are used to increase or decrease the LOW’s, MID’s, and HI’s of the output signal.

CHANNEL TREBLE CONTROL

This knob is used to adjust the treble levels of a channel allowing for a maximum treble gain of 9dB or maximum decrease of -15dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to a channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied to a channel signal.

CHANNEL MIDRANGE CONTROL

This knob is used to adjust the midrange levels of a channel allowing for a maximum midrange gain of 9dB or maximum decrease of -24dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of midrange applied to a channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of midrange applied to a channel signal.

CHANNEL BASS CONTROL

This knob is used to adjust the low frequency levels of a channel allowing for a maximum bass gain of 9dB or maximum signal decrease of -25dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to a channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to a channel signal.

10.Channel Fader

These faders are used to control the output signal o f any source assigned to its particular channel.

11. Crossfader

This fader is used to blend the output signals of channels one and three together. When the fader is in the full left position (channel 1), the output signal of channel on will be controlled by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for channel three. Sliding the fader from one position to another will vary the output signals of channels one and three respectively. When the crossfader is set in the center position, the output signals of both the channels one and channels three will be even.

12.Headphone Level Control

Sets the desired music level to the headphones. The headphone program depends on the position of the monitor pan control(13).

13.Headphone Mix (Pan) Control

Varies the mix between the cued input and master output, ideal for accurate beat mixing. Full left will give cued input, full right will give master output program.

14.PFL BUTTONS

These buttons are used to activate a channels “CUE” mode. A red LED next to the PFL button will glow when a channels cue mode is activated. Cue mode will send a channels incoming signal to the headphones. The cue level is adjusted by the CUE LEVEL ADJUS

-TMENT KNOB (12). Be sure the cue level is set to minimum before putting a pair of

4

After headphones on. Be sure the CUE MIXINGKNOB (13) is turned to the “CUE” position to hear the selected channel source.

15. Master Volume Control

This rotary knob is used to control the master output level (volume). To avoid distorted output try to maintain an average output signal level below “OVER”. Be sure this volume control is always set to zero before turning the unit on.

16. LED Monitor Display

The dual LED’s indicators are used to indicate the master output level.

17. Input toggle switch

Selects which source will be active based on what you have connected to the rear panel input section(Phone/USB/Line).

18. Main Power Switch

This is the main power ON/OFF button. The READY LED will glow led when power is ON.

Before main power is applied, be sure you have made all connections to the mixer. Also be sure your amplifier(s) is(are) tuned off. Remember to avoid damaging pops, the mixer should be powered on first and turned off last.

19. AC Connection

This connector is used to supply main power to the unit via the included AC adaptor.

20.RCA Master Outputs

The Master Output includes a pair of RCA UNBALANCED JACKS . The RCA jacks send a low current unbalanced output signal.

21. Channel 3: LINE 3 RCA Input Jacks

These Jacks are used for line level inputs. Connect CD players or Tape Decks to LINE inputs.

Line level musical instruments with stereo outputs such as Rhythm Machines or Samplers should also be connected to LINE inputs. Turntables should only be connected to “Phono” inputs. The red colored RCA jack represents the right channel input and the white represents the left channel input.

22.Channel 3: PHONO 3 Input Jacks

Connect turntables equipped with MM pickup cartridge to PHONO inputs (All DJ turntable use

MM pick-up cartridges).

Connect each of your turntables ground leads to either of the three ground terminal. This will reduce the humming and popping noises associated with magnetic phono cartridges.

24.USB Terminal

After hooking up your computer with the USB connections, your computer will detect them respectively as an external sound card (USB Code). You may either play music on your computer or send it via the USB connections as a signal source to the unit; alternatively ,you may record the master output signal on your computer using the USB connections.

25. DJ Microphone Jack

This jack is used to a connect a microphone to the mixer. Connect you microphone via1/4 inch (6.3mm) jack. The signal volume will be controlled by the DJ MIC KNOB (1) . The bass and treble levels can also be adjusted by the built-in MICROPHONE EQ (2/3).

26. Headphone Output Jack

This jack is used to connect your headphones to the mixer allowing you to monitor the cue source. Use headphones only rated at 8 ohms to 32 ohms. Most DJ headphones are rated at

16 ohm, these are highly recommended. Always be sure the CUE LEVEL VOLUME (12) is set to minimum before you put the headphones on.

Cleaning

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning the mixer should be carried out periodically to

Optimize light output.

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.

2. Use a cleaner specially designed for electronics to spray in and around the knobs and witch.

This will reduce small particle built up that can effect the proper operation of the mixer.

3. Clean should be carried out every 30-60 days.

4. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the mixer in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the mixer operates (i.e. Smoke, fog , residue dust, dew).
