M) Second headphones connector
On this output appears the same signal as on the headphones-output on the frontpanel (6) on
condition that the connection on the frontpanel is not in use. The specifications are the same
as the headphones output on the frontpanel.
Please use signal cables shorter than 1 meter for the inputs and the outputs.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) First switch all the connected music-sources on (like CD-players, recordplayers, etc.). Then
switch the power button (1) to turn the power supply on. The power indicators (2) will light up
and a few seconds later the mixing panel will be in operation, ready state. In this stage you
can turn on the power amplifiers.
2) Connect the headphones to phones output (6) or (M).
3) Choose with input switch (10) the right source.
4) Switch the PFL button (9) in position ON to listen at the desired source. Check that the switch
(8) stands in the PFL position, than you get the stereo signal on the headphones and the two
left VU-meters. The PFL circuit works as a sum-system, there is the possibility to listen to
more sources at the same time. Al these operations have no influence on the outputsignal!
Adjust with the level control (11) the input signal so, that the red indicators of the level meters
(3) light sometimes. Adjust if necessary the quality of the sound with the equalizer (12).
LOOK OUT :
5) Slide up the fader (14) of the choosen source.
6) Adjust with the master (22) the volume.
7) Correct if necessary the panorama/balance with button (13), for monophonic sound set switch
(5) in mono position.
8) To change the source, repeat point 3) to 5).
9) To add a microphone signal, connect the mike to the MIC input (16) or (G) input, input (16)
has always priority to input (G). Turn the level control (17) and the talk-over (20) to zero, slide
up the MIC fader (21) to maximum and adjust with the level button (17) the volume of the
microphone. Adjust with the equalizer (18) the sound of the mike. To use the talk over, adjust
the talk over button (20) (0= no decrease, 10= total decrease). With the pan MIC (19), the DJ
microphone signal can be placed somewhere between left and right.
10) If you like to record the mixed signal, you can simply do this by connecting a recorder to the
record-connectors (F). Depending on the position of the record-select switch (24) you can
decide if the microphone signal is also recorded or not.
11) On the right VU-meter appears the signal that you've selected with the VU2-signal select
switch (4). If you like to compare via the headphones and the left VU-meters the pre-fade
signal with the output signal, you can do this by putting the rotative switch (4) on the SUM-
position. By this the PFL-signal appears on the two left VU-meters and the output-signal on
the other two VU-meters.
12) If the DJ likes to connect monitor-loudspeakers, he can use the monitor-output (K) for this.
This output is free of the DJ-microphone signal, to avoid feedback from the speakers to the
microphone.
- The equalizer at each input is used to adjust the different sound
between the sources. To correct the acoustic of the room it is probably best to
use an external equalizer.
