ENGLISH
• Please use the original packing when the device is to be transported.
• Due to safety reasons it is prohibited to make unauthorized modifications to the unit.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
• Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high
temperatures or humidity.
• Placing and using the unit for long periods near heat-generating sources such as
amplifiers, spotlights, etc. will affect its performance and may even damage the unit.
• The unit can be mounted in 19-inch racks. Attach the unit using the 4 screw holes on
the front panel. Be sure to use screws of the appropriate size. (screws not provided)
Take care to minimize shocks and vibrations during transport.
• When installed in a booth or flight case, please make sure to have good ventilation to
improve heat evacuation of the unit.
• To avoid condensation to be formed inside, allow the unit to adapt to the surrounding
temperatures when bringing it into a warm room after transport. Condense sometimes
prevents the unit from working at full performance.
CLEANING THE MIXER:
Clean by wiping with a polished cloth slightly dipped with water. Avoid getting water inside
the unit. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the unit.
CONNECTIONS
Except for microphones, headphone and master outputs, all connections are cinch. Use
good quality cinch-cinch cables to prevent bad audio quality. (example: JB Systems code:
2-0370)
For more information on connections, please refer to the next chapter.
Be sure to turn off the mixer before you make changes to the different connections.
In this manual we talk about "line inputs". This is a global name for inputs with a level
between 750mV and 2V. This includes tuners, videos, CD-players, etc.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

1. DJ MIC INPUT JACK: Combo jack. Accepts either a balanced microphone with an
XLR connector or an unbalanced microphone with 1/4" mono jack. This input is mainly
used as DJ-microphone. The talk over does not affect the signal level of this input.
2. GAIN LEVEL: Adjusts the input level of the DJ input. Use this control to adjust the
level of the DJ microphone on the VU-meter at about 0dB.
3. 3-BAND TONE CONTROL: The frequency of the DJ micro can be controlled over a
+/-12dB range.
4. PANPOT CONTROL: Used to place the sound from the DJ micro somewhere in the
stereo field. A panpot control does the same for mono signals as a balance control
does for stereo signals.
5. DJ MIC VOLUME: Used to adjust the level of the DJ micro.
6. TALKOVER: Use the switch to automatically mute the input channels 1 to 5 while you
are talking through the DJ microphone. You can adjust the amount of muting on input
channels 1 to 5. The more you turn the talkover level to the right, the more these
channels are muted while talking through the DJ Micro(1).
7. PFL SELECTOR: Used to select the source (CH-1 to CH-5) to be monitored via the
headphones output. Pressing multiple Cue-buttons makes it possible to derive a
mixed sound from the selected sources.
8. CHANNEL FADER: Used to set the level of each channel separately.
9. CHANNEL VU METER: Each channel has its own LED VU-meter so you can adjust
the gain level (11) very quickly. Make sure the levels do not exceed 0dB (or 100%).
The audio risks to be distorted when the signal level comes in the red zone of the VU-
meter.
