1. POWER INLET (AC IN). Use the accessory power cord to connect
to an AC power outlet.
2. POWER SWITCH. Turn this unit power ON/OFF.
3. USB 2 PORT. This is the USB port where you insert your USB
mass storage device for playing Mp3/ WAV files.
4. USB MIDI PORT. After hooking up your computer with the USB
1.1 port, your computer will detect them respectively as an external
sound card (USB AUDIO CODEC). See on page 17 more info about
this point.
5. BALANCED XLR MASTER OUTPUT JACKS. The Master Output
includes a pair of XLR Balanced jacks. The 3-pin XLR jacks send a
high current balanced output signal. These jacks should be used
when you will be driving an amp or other audio equipment with a
balanced input, or whenever you will be running a signal line
greater than 15 feet (4,5meters). We recommend you that always
use these jacks whenever possible.
6. UNBALANCED MASTER OUTPUT. The RCA jacks send a low
current unbalanced output signal. These jacks connectors should
only be used for shorter cable runs to signal processors or looping
to another mixer. For cable runs greater than 15 feet (4,5meters)
use the XLR BALANCED JACKS.
7. BOOTH OUTPUT JACKS. Connect to inputs of your active
monitors using cables with RCA connectors. .
8. LINE/PHONO SELECTOR SWITCH. These switches are used to
change the voltage line levels of their respected LINE/PHONO RCA
inputs jacks. When connecting turntables with magnetic cartridges
to these jacks be sure the corresponding switch is in the PHONO”
position, and when using line level input devices be sure the switch
is in the “LINE” position.
9. CHANNEL LINE/PHONO INPUT CONNECTORS. Turntables
equipped with MM pickup cartridge (All DJ turntable use MM pickup
cartridges) may be connected to these jacks as long as the
LINE/PHONE selector switches are in the “PHONE” position. CD
players, Tape Decks and other line level instruments may only be
connected to these jacks as long as the LINE/PHONE selector
switches are in the “LINE” position. Input volume will be controlled
by the Channel gain control knob.
10. GND (GROUND TERMINAL). Be sure to connect turntable
ground leads to either or both of the two available ground
terminals. This will reduce the humming and popping noises
associated with magnetic phono cartridges.
11. MICROPHONE 2. This combo jack will accept a standard ¼”plug
or XLR 3-pin balanced male plug. The volume output level for
microphone will be controlled by its own respective VOLUME KNOB.
MIXER PANEL
Before to start with the mixer’s panels there are a few thinks you
should know…
Setting input levels: Gain pot adjusts the input sensibility or so to
speak the level of the input signal inside the mixer. It is paramount
to set the right input level on every channel.
Why is so important setting the correct input level?
First, we have to understand the concept of Dynamic Range of an
audio signal. The Dynamic Range of an audio signal is defined as
the ratio between the maximum level before distortion and the
minimum audible level. It is measured in decibels and gives us an
idea of the amplitude of the signal.
